We were at the match. My impression is that the crowd expected Svitolina and Andreeva not to shake hands. But Andreeva (after throwing her racket late in the second set) ALSO bypassed a handshake with the umpire. I think that’s what started the boos.

This is so good. You continue to deliver — thank you!

Your work has been great. So glad you got through the biopsies — “no cancer” is the best headline out there. Good luck for a 2026 filled with more great writing and fewer health scares.

We will miss you. Thanks for all the hard work, and all the best for the next chapter.

Thanks a ton for this. When it comes time for the tennis community to give out public service awards, you should be at the top of the list. Informative, kind, interested. 👏👏

How are you finding the Blue Sky experience? I’ve just hopped over from h*ll, so I’m sure this won’t be worse. Of course finding you here is a good sign it’ll all be ok. (At least here, if not necessarily IRL.)
