March 6, 20241 yr Indian Wells puff mixed doubles tie-breaker challenge thing. The court is surrounded by a Who’s Who of ATP & WTA names. Some pairs are from the same country (Poland & Denmark) and some pairs are couples (Tsitsipas & Badosa). Edited March 6, 20241 yr by Napoleon
March 6, 20241 yr They Rock/Paper/Scissors instead of flipping a coin to determine who gets to choose to serve or receive. I like that. Badosa’s jaw dropped after witnessing a Ben Shelton 143 mph ace from court level. The other players are just sitting on benches next to the players’ benches. Edited March 6, 20241 yr by Napoleon

March 6, 20241 yr Author Updated draw with qualifiers placed. Very top section is fun. Winner of E. Andreeva v. Dani gets Iga. Winner of Camila v. Katie gets Noskova.
March 7, 20241 yr Author He played that Netflix exo against Carlos 3 whole days ago. Paula withdrew after playing the Tie Break Tens last night.
March 7, 20241 yr Ashlyn Krueger did not take advantage of her gifted opponent. Lucky loser Podoroska beat her in 3
March 7, 20241 yr Author All over but the handshake for Venus. She has a WC into Miami also. Simona will be back then too.
March 9, 20241 yr On 3/7/2024 at 5:16 PM, shadow_operative2.0 said: All over but the handshake for Venus. She has a WC into Miami also. Simona will be back then too. Venus is ranked in the 400s, she is only getting into tournaments as a wild card. My guess is that she will be a Wild Card at all 4 Grand Slams (maybe 3 and she skips the French), she will be a wild card at Indian Wells, Miami, Cincinnati and the US Open in the USA. She may take a wild card to a grass tournament before Wimbledon. Venus can play well for a set, but she falls apart in the middle of the second set, so she can barely win any matches at the WTA level. She will not retire this season unless she is told that she won’t get any more wildcards.

Podoroska would have been one of my English lesbian former flatmate’s favorite players and she didn’t even follow tennis. The only think holding her back from being #1 was that the flatmate preferred androgynous looking lesbians with slim hips*. *it’s worthless information like this that will likely stick in my brain for the rest of my life. 🤫 Edited March 9, 20241 yr by Napoleon
March 10, 20241 yr Sabalenka’s hard hitting seems to set up nicely for the way Stearns likes to hit the ball. And Sabalenka double faults twice and the. Sprays to forehands wide and now Stearns is up 3-1. Sabalenka seems to be pressing… and then Stearns hit an insane inside-out forehand that almost defied the laws of physics.
March 10, 20241 yr Author Gonna be tough to top Rybakina/Blinkova for Match of the Early Season, but this is close.
March 10, 20241 yr Author Fuck, that will sting for awhile, but great fucking match. Big girl tennis.
March 10, 20241 yr Stearns served for the match twice and had 4 match points, but couldn't get it done. Moment was too big for her

March 10, 20241 yr Author Young Noskova was up 4-2 on Iga, then the vet reeled off 10 straight to end that shit.
March 12, 20241 yr A young Italian just knocked out Djokovic and it wasn't Sinner. Good stuff from Nardi

March 14, 20241 yr Emma’s excitement upon winning matched someone finishing a practice session and heard her name yelled… …so she briefly acknowledged a possible fan or two before before proceeding to go pack her things because someone else needed the court for practice in a few minutes. She just beat the #2 player in the world who was the tournament’s reigning champ and who won the most recent grand slam. Her response was similar to someone finishing up in a library with other people studying near her, so she will try to make as little noise or commotion possible, because she doesn’t want to disturb anyone.
