I was going to laugh, but I actually do know a friend who would hang one of these on her tree. This showed up on my Instagram feed. Not sure how, since I don’t follow him, but Instagram remembered the photos I took of him back at the French Open.

Oh, WTA Brazil revealed that on Nov. 19.

Thinking the USA Davis Cup team would last longer in Malaga, I was prepared to stay until today. So I took the free time and went up to Granada, Spain to see the Alhambra. I was there when I was 10 years old and it left a lasting impression. So I revisited. The place never disappoints.

The pall that was felt earlier today among U.S. visitors, donning stars and stripes and sad faces, was replaced by the orange wigs of Italian fans, horns, drums, carota boys and excitement as Berrettini and Sinner, the surprise doubles team, clinch the victory from Argentina tonight.

Musetti gets a pep talk. The Davis Cup is in the foreground.

Wow, I was all ready to see Ram and Krajicek break the tie at Davis Cup but our doubles team is now Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton! Interesting…

I love this part.

Slovakia is shining at the #BJKCup. I knew Rebecca Šramková had something in her when I first saw her play at the Livesport Prague Open in 2021.

Thanks to Instagram, we know at least three players at the Charleston tournament: Maddy Sieg, Liv Hovde, and Kayla Cross. Still no player list on the WTA site.

The WTA 125 in Angers, France three weeks from now has a full site and a list of committed players with their photos. But the WTA Charleston 125 which starts tomorrow has nothing. Very strange! #tennis #WTA #LTPtennis.com.

Whoops! Nikola Bartunkova, seen here on the right at the U.S.Open juniors in 2023, was suspended for 6 months for “anti-doping breach” according to ITIA. Her doubles partner on the left was Tereza Valentova.
