Felix 2025, Alexandrova too?
Yeah, I agree with you. It’s such a crawl to the end. And to think there’s still 4-6 weeks left. Dasha’s statement said it all.

Ah, thanks for the info. I listened to the first couple of episodes of their show but couldn’t get past the rambling and giggling. (I might go back, I do love the idea of a female “Nothing Major”- I hope it succeeds). Yeah, if you’re already secured Top 8 ($$$), why bother? I mean…enjoy life, Madi!

Madi hasn’t played since her 1st round loss at the Open, and she’s already secured a spot in Riyadh. That’ll be 2 months without a match. Still an injury? Fatigue? Just over it?

That is very responsible of you to do such background homework. As a teacher, I tip my hat. 👍🏼

Oh wow, I haven’t seen it in decades. It was a big deal at the time, I wonder if it holds up. Part of me wonders what made you want to watch it, haha. Gosh, what a blast from the past. 🤣

Your thoughts on 2026 Hall of Fame nominees — Carillo, DelPo, Kuzy, uh, some guy named Roger… (apparently he was pretty good?)

Yeah I didn’t think it was necessarily related to this year’s event — I just thought it was kind of odd because she hasn’t been the TD there for that long. Thanks for clarifying!

Chris Clarey wrote in a tweet yesterday “outgoing tournament director Stacey Allaster.” I wonder what’s up with that. (I asked CC but he hasn’t replied.)

My hope is that he stays for the fanfare of the anthem and seeing his face on the big screen then realizes he’s bored and maybe just wants some McDonalds so he leaves ~20-30 minutes later. And then we can all enjoy the tennis.

So awkward
Amanda looks like she’d rather be anywhere else. She honestly seemed less bothered by it all during the Wimbledon ceremony. This is all just so extra, so orchestrated. So cheesy, tacky. I muted it many minutes ago.
