Not sure who to support from here. Sviddle-ina, I guess? Never thought I'd say that. Otoh Rybakina would be better for my bracket as I picked her to win the whole thing

so fracking good today

One of the WTA's best sources of reaction gifs

MY TAKE: Each of the four Grand Slam tournaments should have a different name for tennis rackets. At the U.S. Open, they're rackets. At Wimbledon, they're racquets. At the French Open, they're racquettes. At the Australian Open, of course, they're gonzeroolies

Alex can hardly have played better, but he's two sets down. As Andy Murray would say, he tried his tits off, but he remains a level below

Yeah. Kind of what you have to do though - play well, take risks and be lucky

De Minaur played one of the best sets of tennis of his life. He lost it.

help, my players are unionizing

Is this going to become a thing now, players getting their opponents' time violations cancelled by saying they weren't ready?

Crikey this is a mauling

Every point in the match is either a 26-shot rally or a +1 error

what the fuck

chris evert on ESPN saying “first of all, i’m glad i’m not a player, and second of all, i believe in global warming” talking about current conditions at AO

I love how Serena is the comparison in both "youngest since" and "oldest since" stats

lol get him casper

1 - The top six seeds in both the Women's and Men's Singles have reached the Quarter-Final at a Grand Slam event for the first time in the Open Era. Wow!

#AusOpen

A good one, too #AusOpen

“…since I’m only playing night matches suddenly…” she’s so salty lolz

Iga dropshot!

After the triple breadstick in her last match, Iga going for the 6-0 0-6 6-0 this time

lmao that celebration from Inglis after winning one game

Iga only serving at 41% ... but winning a higher percentage of points on her second serve

Well this is true. Probably just reactionary back-in-my-day nonsense

Fernandez double faults on match point, Kyrgios is done.

I wonder what the psychology is of former players wanting to make things as miserable as possible for current players. No heat breaks! No bathroom breaks! No MTOs!

The influencer added that they felt people would always find negative things to say about "influencing" because it was "a dream job". "We do f**k all and get paid a shit-ton," they said.

Interesting article about the AO's increasing use of influencers and how it's changing the tournament www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Meanwhile on X

It's weird, there's just no second tier of players right now

Bublik yelling at Kasatkina, who has her eyes closed. Speech bubble saying "I am an actual tennis player now!"

I am not forced to take Bublik seriously quite yet, by the looks of things

Bumping @benrothenberg.bsky.social and his chat with Learner and coach Michael Chang. Ben asked them both what needed to be done to close the gap between them and Sincaraz? Learner started listing stuff, and then Michael was like wait a minute
