OK Vee it's been cute now let's wrap it up

you have to assume her coach has told her "hey, you can probably get your racket onto some of the serves". Why doesn't she even attempt? Has she said anything about it lately?

haha! that's ok i'll leave my post as it is anyway

love sports

I don't want to bang on about nationality and media bias but if she were another nationality, as a former world #2 still out here competing, she'd be getting so much more attention and praise!

Tennis media have rightly made a big deal about Venus still competing in her mid 40s, but can they now show some love for 41yo Zvonareva?

Not only did she reach the doubles SFs at the Australian Open, but now she's beating top 100 players in singles at a top tournament! It's unreal.

Boris Becker showing once again that he's a useless prick with nothing positive to offer the world

Australian Open just finished, which is an intense time for their writers. They probably just recognise Cluj Napoca isn't a big priority? maybe if she reaches the final they'll write about it? Tumaini has said he's extra sensitive towards her considering everything she's been through.

People saying Zv*r*v finally played like the world #3 this tournament. Well now he's #4. Behind a 38yo who's played like 12 tournaments in the past year. Womp womp!

"it has been a great ride. I love you guys" - retirement hints? hmmm. Anyways I think he should retire at next year's AO. Would be fitting.

Two incredible players, two incredibly boring speeches

Even if English isn't your native language, get your agent to write you a few jokes like Li Na did! #AustralianOpen

The only player to have beaten Rybakina since like, October btw #AustralianOpen

I think she's just really tense and nervous...I will never admit to agreeing with that man though 💀

Really! Need to go to a gay club with these two so bad

I just came here to tweet that, even though Rybakina won the first set, I have a strong feeling that Sabalenka is gonna step it up and win this match. She just hasn't got going yet #AustralianOpen

I don't think I have the mental bandwidth to deal with Angie being a TERF....but to be honest, I'm not sure she even knows what LGBT is

Just when I thought I'd lost faith in Ostapenko, my queen comes roaring back with a solid gold meme #AustralianOpen

She came, served cunt, and died #AustralianOpen

The one consistent thing I've noticed in every season of #thetraitors is that the faithfuls that make it to the end are usually the thickest. If you're a faithful and you've made it over halfway without being murdered, do you not start to think "hang on, does everyone think I'm dumb?"

This has been such a hit that pretty soon all tournaments will be 1 Point Slams, and that's what tennis will be

She represents Taiwan not HK

vibes to the atmosphere only further punctuates how utterly vibeless this whole thing is

6: the tennis, while featuring some good shots from both players, lacks rhythm and is just not compelling

7: the modified court was a mistake IMO. the optics towards casual fans is just really bad.

I'm wondering if the BBC commentators are going to be honest about how bad #battleofthesexes is

1: The live feed keeps breaking

2: why tf can the players take a timeout in the middle of a game?

3: why tf is Aryna doing the macarena?

4: the atmosphere is dead

5: any attempts to add... (cont)

also Kyrgios looks woefully out of shape. not exactly surprising news.

Unfortunately I've tuned into #battleofthesexes out of morbid curiosity

I'd like to know what everyone thinks: if Sabalenka had turned it down, which female player would've most likely ended up doing this? i.e. most likely the event organisers would've asked + said yes. I honestly don't know.

How can you have the likes of Roddick, Safin, Mauresmo, Pierce and Li in the Hall of Fame but not Svetlana Kuznetsova? If it doesn't have consistent criteria, the Tennis Hall of Fame risks becoming completely uncredible and irrelevant (debatable whether it's ever been anything else tbh)

Ngl It always makes me happy for the alternatives when they get to play

Penko and Hsieh heading to the SFs and then the trophy IKTR!! #wtafinals
