Crazy to see another legend from the early tennis fandom days head into retirement.
Will never forget the fear the Petra Kvitova 'pjod' would strike into the hearts of competitors during her peak years. That she ended her career known for her quality character over her quality tennis is a credit.

Could anyone have ever guessed that Green Light by Lorde (an all-time Millennial classic in the pantheon of yearning dance pop) would have inspired the songwriting of KPop Demon Hunters?
It's the unlikely crossover moment I needed to start my week.

Gabriel Diallo out here looking very comfortable on the big stage in front of a home Canadian crowd.
Big serve helping him on these quick & lively Toronto courts.

A good doubles match is an immensely fun live-sport experience.
But it’s a major failure on the ATP Tour’s marketing and investment in growing the doubles game that I look at this lineup of largely doubles-only players at a Slam and feel next to nothing about the results.

I had heard rumblings that Kasatkina had kicked tires on Canadian citizenship a few years back — looks like the Aussies took her up on it first.
Huge news for both Daria and Tennis Australia.

Excited for everyone to (finally) get a look at 🇨🇦 Victoria Mboko, who is making her WTA main draw debut in Miami now.
Has been on a tear this year with four ITF singles titles and just one loss.
No obvious technical weaknesses and hits big. Movement this year has taken her game to the next level.

As much as I have questions about some of the WTA's choices on their new branding exercise, I will say the new scorecard looks *very* sharp on match streams.

I know all the big tech CEO’s are in Tr*mp’s pocket but I didn’t think they’d be hiding this much in plain sight? (The merch link goes to Amazon, by the way.)
Wild and frankly terrifying times for the internet - and especially vulnerable times for big demographics prone to disinformation.

Grand Slam scheduling klaxon is always an exhausting discussion every season and involves a lot of complex factors… but honestly if I saw this as the OOP and I had tickets to Rod Laver I’d be wanting my money back. 😬
