The replies to that tweet are delicious, though.

De Minaur is adorable, but that Hitler mustache is an atrocity.

Wow.

Way more interesting than the dudes. The only potential matchup on the men’s side that is potentially exciting is Thiem/Medvedev. The ladies are saving this tournament.

Holy sh!t at Vika just ROLLING on Elise Mertens. Statement performance.

Agreed. We just saw it work beautifully at the Western & Southern.

At least two of his serves were out in that TB and didn’t get called.

I know a lot of people disagree, but I thought he and Robin Mattson were wonderful together as schemers on Santa Barbara, even with his mugging. (From clips I’ve seen.) But he also had the benefit of better, wittier dialogue and a roguish, devious character on SB. He was also good as an adversary to A Martinez.

I was curious why Rublev got an audible obscenity warning for that scream:

Dreadful. It’s lacking in grand drama but doesn’t do character moments like this well either. Worst of both worlds.

I had the sliiiightest expectation for her to mention skin tone when she listed how she herself benefits from privilege. But I guess that would have been a third rail.

Another long-running (and super popular) series ending...

Dominic always looks so pleased to open up his food.

She’s stunning but tacky as hell. It’s unbelievable.

That’s part of his sports psychology treatment.

I just find it jarring. Shelby Rogers also messes with me, so I had to turn off her match with Petra. Serena’s “C’mons” don’t bug me.

The screaming is bugging me too. But admittedly Kvitova’s pterodactyl screech bothers me as well, and she seems otherwise lovely.
