Rublev beat Tsitsipas in straights.

Federer not playing Australia.

Kim was on tv earlier playing World team tennis.

Sabalenka is a mess. She just unravels at the worst moments.

I go up and down regarding the dress, depending on the angle but I love that she brought back the beads in some fashion for the occasion.

Venus never knew how to dress but I do like the throwback with the beads.  The hair is chef's kiss!

She is a hot ass mess for sure.  She is using her power for evil on the court!

She and Serena both have taken turns missing the fashion mark. Her EleVen line rarely fails though. It's the best tennis kit line for women nowadays.

This is what I mean. I actually like the look of the dress from this vantage point.

Instagram is so annoying, lol. Here's the photo.

I "get" the dress from this angle.

This has to be in the movie!

 

Fyi, there's a scene in the King Richard movie when teens Serena and Venus meet President and First Lady Ronald and Nancy Reagan.  The soap connection is that Judith Chapman plays Nancy Reagan.

Disappointed that Mugu is the Spaniard we get and not Badosa

I barely know some of the people in this whole recent thread...don't even recognize some names.  I don't think I've ever seen the two you're mentioning...Morris and Rudd?  I would have no idea that Tennis was even on...

And I keep thinking about this.  Remember when Figure Skating blew up? Harding vs. Kerrigan and all of the popularity...and immediately after for a few years.  I remember them talking about it at the time, and commentators saying it was the best time to be a Skater...girls and guys postponed their lives, education, etc. for Figure Skating because it was so hot...and this popularity changed the sport and it was 'here to stay'.  I don't think anyone ever thought it would end up crashing the way it has now.  Still has its fans but not anything like it was, unless you are a HARD core fan of skating.  Tennis is reminding me of that now...how the big 3 was the story...the Williams' sisters the big story.  Now that they're pretty much gone, the sport isn't the same - it's having the opposite effect to me just like Skating.  Interesting to think about.

It's Norrie but my spell check doesn't recognize the name and came out with Morris😂

@Soapsuds And see I didn't even catch it but I have heard and seen Norrie, but didn't even connect the spelling/auto-correct to figure it out...

Some people refer to Badosa as Sharapova-lite, lol.
