He’s at least playing like he really wants it.

He’s clairvoyant.

I guess Sabalenka’s newfound nerves of steel had to fray at some point. Jabeur vs. Swiatek, it is. The top 2.

The BBC announcements when royal family members, like Diana, pass away are always powerful. Here’s what aired today:

Yeah so sad:

I just wonder if Alcaraz will have enough in the tank for Frances. He’s young and spry, but that has to be taxing for anyone.

I had forgotten that Wayne Brady (who’s also doing DWTS this year) was a judge on Shangela’s season and threw shade at her runway look (which, to be fair, was terrible).

Bernard Shaw harkens back to good old days of CNN. Such a strong, steadying presence.

Shangela is the first drag queen to do DWTS and will dance with Gleb. Not surprised that they’ll do that here in the U.S. before pairing two men out of drag: https://deadline.com/2022/09/dancing-with-the-stars-season-31-cast-first-ever-drag-queen-shangela-1235110881/

Ha.

Oh dear. How much if anything will she walk away with, if true? Frances is smoking Rublev in these TBs.

I’m actually somewhat excited about the prospects for a new USO champion on both the ATP and WTA sides. The remaining contenders are all relatively accomplished players who’ve been discussed as potential major singles champions at some point in their careers (not to mention two-time RG champ Swiatek—even Khachanov has a Masters title). This year, we don’t have relative randoms like Raducanu or Fernandez (which was fun in its own way—Leylah had a Slam on the juniors circuit, which isn’t the same) or even a doubles specialist like Krejcikova suddenly redlining at Roland Garros.

Is Sabalenka actually doing ok with closing out matches? Wow.
