This is little Olympia Ohanian watching yesterday's match between her mommy and auntie in Abu Dhabi.  Serena joked that she was applauding Venus.  Adorable.

Exhibition tourney but the score is shocking...that it was this close...thought for sure Anderson would slow down this year...don't think he's that great...

Sakkari is more cut than Tsitsipas! He really needs a hair cut.

Kerber is looking really good against Muguruza in Hopman Cup. If she brings this kind of form into Melbourne, look out.

 

Edit: I may have spoken a bit too soon. But Garbiñe began to step up a bit.

I have to say I was annoyed with Stefanos for taking so long to switch a damaged racquet in the middle of a game during the Tiafoe match. Someone as entitled as Sascha wouldn’t have pulled something like that.
