UPDATE: this guy. My gawd.

David Ortega from Mexico

Alfie Parker, Jr., a dancer from NYC

When Nick goes low, Novak goes high.

They just split sets, with Kristyna breaking in the third. I’m sure it’s a nervy match. Ostapenko did God’s work today and since I forgot to haul out this video during the French, I’ll do it now:

The Pliskobot twins are playing their first tour match against one another right now:

“Nomad” from Mongolia

Udit Kapur from Mumbai

Pedro, Jr., military officer from Brazil

Welcome back!

I was going to (mistakenly) post that I had no idea that Chris Bernau (Alan, GL) and Doug Watson passed so close together, but Douglass the actor passed in early May and Mac Cory the character passed in mid-June. (Bernau died IRL June 14.) Still, two premature deaths of iconic P&G stars in a short period. Such spectacular performances in those episodes, made even more bittersweet by the relatively recent passing of Carmen Duncan.

Dave Swatt of Indonesia

Hmmm. Just when I thought I was taking a tennis break, give me all the popcorn:

Lee Jangmin from Ulsan, South Korea

IG: the_l_word. Not clear where he’s from (L.A.?), but somewhere in America.

David from Guangzhou, China is sooo hot, but he constantly captions his photos with comments like “My face is fat, so I dare not look up.” Which could be legit body dysmorphia (pervasive in the IG thot community) or fishing for compliments or satirical, or some combination of the above. Anywho, I enjoy the view nonetheless. He does NOT skip leg day.

Thanks for those Kael pieces! This could be funny (or irritating) for people who have lived or spent significant time in both LA and NYC.

Rd Yuan from Jakarta

This is an interesting take.
