My favourite Grand Slam is here!! I love it because of the night matches. Hopefully we'll see a lot of 5 setters that end around 12am.

Nobody’s talking about Ashleigh Barty’s pregnancy announcement?👀🤭

She announced before Naomi I believe. I came across it when I was searching for something else and even there I wasn’t sure until I checked her social media announcement. Oh well. I giggled when someone complained that she was too young and another said, “well, isn’t she like, 26?” That’s not too young. I don’t get the squawking over other people’s personal choices. These folks will be fine.

Australian open 

Andy Murray vs Matteo Berrettini in round one!

Andrey Rublev vs Dominic Thiem in round one.

 

Rafael Nadal vs Jack Draper in round one

 

Cannot remember the last time I watched a full Davis Cup match.

Big Davis Cup news being reported, with the Kosmos partnership that began in the 2019 edition purportedly ending.

Interesting what might come next in Davis Cup's future. Will it be a reset to the old format? Will elements of the new format endure?https://t.co/Vw4aAHrGi6

Seven-time grand slam champion John McEnroe won't be heading to Melbourne to commentate on the Australian Open after ESPN reportedly opted not to send the American. McEnroe has been a regular in the commentary booth in Melbourne over the years, while also taking part in colourful on-court interviews after matches.

I thought JMac did commentary for Eurosport.

L’Équipe reporting that ITF had to pay the players of the eight teams who competed at the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga last November because Gerard Piqué’s Kosmos couldn’t... https://t.co/ldmrZ3G6bG

Paula Badosa is out of the Australian Open with injury.

Good news.

Want to share this with all of you. It’s been quite the year, and I am feeling very grateful! 🙏❤️https://t.co/iIZVLMJGX6
