Entry list for US Open mixed doubles is packed with stars. Should be a fun event. But this is an exhibition tournament with fun rules (short sets & games) & only 1 specialist doubles team. Let’s not pretend it is a serious slam doubles event. @tennispodcast.bsky.social

‘It’s extremely triggering, painful and disappointing to have a Tournament Director, former WTA player and No.1 in the World basically slapping women’s tennis in 2025. It’s horrendous to hear …She threw women’s tennis under the bus. It was horrible.’

I get that diplomatic protocols/political relations probably meant that New Zealand PM had little choice and had to fire the NZ senior diplomat to the UK. But, huge credit to Phil Goff for speaking the truth and calling President Trump out on his appeasement to Russia.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The US Open has announced a complete revamp of the mixed doubles. Played in the week before the US Open proper starts, over only 2 days with only 16 teams playing shortened matches. This is a set of woeful decisions. All for money. A disgrace. @tennispodcast.bsky.social @thetennisletter.bsky.social

Top players can absorb extreme paced, deep shots by returning on one knee, but I have never seen a player going down on both knees and hitting the ball back (and winning the point!). Extraordinary skill by Iga Swiatek.

Credit to Australian Open in standing by their commitment to equal number of men’s and women’s matches on main show courts. But they more often get the worse slots. And this is a new low - “let’s just get the women’s matches out of the way”. AO must do better.

Great to see a record (in the Open era) 6 British players through to round 2 of the Australian Open. All have tough next rounds, but the best of luck to Emma, Katie, Harriet, Jodie, Jack and Jake.
