I’m bummed for Serena and Venus but that was a really entertaining third set I got to see coming home from the Phillies game.

She/her. Wife/cat mom. Philly suburbs transplant originally from Maryland. Philly sports fan (Terps and Ravens too), Fulham FC, USWNT, the W in Philly (2030!), could watch tennis every day if it was possible. Former band geek. My happy place is CBP.
Red zone is good for this reason - I got to watch Kostyuk rip a forehand to win a game, and then I got to watch Paolini rip a backhand down the line (sadly Cirstea just won that game)
Whew. Too good to be a second round match, but Coco gets it done.
Incredible to watch the Clippers denigrate Pablo Torre’s excellent, Pulitzer Prize worthy reporting as mere “podcast allegations.” Which crisis PR person did they pay a ton of money to come up with this strategy? This is loser shit.

The Showman is putting on quite the performance in NY this evening. Gael, sheesh. 🔥
I spoke too soon. Come on Madi, get it together.
Jami@medeajm.fightins.online · 4d agoA pretty good start for Madi Keys in this first round match.
Big-time night for the Phillies bullpen, which pitched through a ton of traffic to get the final 12 outs. Phillies have won five straight and 14 of their last 16.
Two of the best worlds I know colliding. #theanswer

An official welcome back to Alcaraz as he moves onto the second round.
I’m sure most of you aren’t watching the US Open right now which means you missed this instantly iconic moment, now available in gif form
It is just an absolute pleasure to be able to watch Carlos Alcaraz play tennis.
Big breaking news: Stan Wawrinka WILL play #USOpen after all, given a suddenly available wild card after Kypson, who was previously awarded a wild card, withdrew. An 11th hour rescue of what was a baffling decision by the US Open. His Grand Slam career isn't over anymore.

This mixed doubles team of Serena and Carlitos is so fun. I’m really enjoying myself.
