That clip of the guy commenting on the athletic exploits of Monfils is hilarious. I have seen different videos of mainly Black guys marveling at Monfils’ acrobatics. They all express utter shock at never having seen him before. It kind of speaks to the poor job that tennis’ executives are doing at broadening the reach of the sport’s visibility.

Speaking of doing a poor job, for years, I have been expressing my frustration with Simon. It may be a bit crass to say but, the pandemic and the Peng Shuai situation gave him cover for the past three years as both took the focus on his systematic failures. It gives me no joy to say that I haven’t watch a single match since the U.S. Open. I grew up as a fan of tennis and by the late 80s, I became a hardcore fan. Now, I barely keep up with the sport. Personally, I think the management of both tours are failing the sport. There needs to be wholesale change at the top of both Tours’ executive ranks, they are selling the sport way short, all for a cash grab.

He really does!!

There was a post that Venus sent out about Grigor that Prakash Amritraj read out on the Tennis Channel (it went viral, which is the only reason I saw it) was hilarious and deliberately provocative, I think. I also think they all have a good laugh about these social media exchanges. If Andy Roddick were still single, they’d probably be doing the same with him.
