@tennisjon.bsky.social Given your enjoyment of Earthly Delights, can I interest you in the new Khalid album? I need other gays who are on board 🌈

Holy Sh*t, Y'all.

He did it.

Valentin Vacherot, the qualifier ranked #204, defeats Novak Djokovic in straight sets to reach a Masters 1000 final.

The Monagasque, who is coached by his half-brother and could next face his cousin for the title, will climb to at least #58.

Insane.

This is partly a function of having only three hours’ sleep last night, but I just spent 30 minutes trying to write a nuanced comment about something and then decided not to post it anyway.

Meanwhile others have no problem positing that McCartney Kessler has had a better season than Jessie Pegula

One of these days you dorks will realize and accept that there is no separate artistic score in tennis and the only score that matters in tennis is the final score. Winners win. Losers go home.

One day. One. Day.

These third-round matches in the top half of the women’s draw 🔥🔥🔥

Vika vs Pavs is such a 2010s vibe 😌

@fortydeucetwits.bsky.social Reading the latest Bagel Bites, and please do write about the difficulty of marketing doubles players! I am intrigued.

(Also would support you putting together the oral history of the Hsieh/Ostapenko partnership, brief as it was)

A single title in 2024? This could be so easily fact-checked, I just don’t understand
August 21, 2025 at 2:35 AM
Barring another withdrawal, the 25–32 seeds are Ostapenko, Kenin, Kostyuk, Frech, Kalinskaya, Yastremska, Fernandez and Kessler. #seededandlooming

Does anyone know why Hsieh and Ostapenko have split?

I assume they mean it’s their first meeting *on hardcourts* since 2022 given she played “Clauson” at Wimbledon, but really

Have I missed the memo that we are extending the idea of match point into ‘match game’, as in ‘staring down match game’

Rule of Threes dictates that one more of @tennisjon.bsky.social’s all-time faves must join Mariah and Venus in making a triumphant return this year 💥

Bless the young queers at the next table who just earnestly described The Devil Wears Prada as a ‘cult classic’

@thebodyserve.bsky.social This made me grin 🥲 Thank you so much!! You’re the best ❤️

Since 2018, Hsieh Su-Wei and Katerina Siniakova have traded Wimbledon doubles titles, winning 3 each w/ multiple partners in the last 6 events.

Siniakova has won the even years & Hsieh the odd years…

Now the WTA doubles rivals face off again in Friday’s semifinal. #Wimbledon

That slice to go up 0-30, and that winner on her 4th match point: Amanda Anisimova fucking won this match. The shots she conjures with that backhand 🫠

The quest is alive after Hsieh/Ostapenko def. Cirstea/Kalinskaya 6-7(4) 6-3 6-2
According to the live rankings, Ostapenko will be doubles no. 1 if she and Hsieh win the tournament 👀
