Editor-in-Chief @CrackedRacquets, Staunch advocate of calling it a "Big Four", Love nothing more than a good ad-side poach. Yes, I podcast
- No spoilers...but makes complete sense to see who got the job doneA target only just bigger than the size of a tennis ball... Who can make The IMPOSSIBLE Shot? 🥶 #RolexShanghaiMasters
00:00 - Monica Seles from Jan ‘90-Feb ‘93 - 216-19 (.919) overall - 41-match + 36-match win streaks - 8 Major 🏆 in 11 total played + 3 Year-end 🏆 - 31 Titles/42 Finals in 50 total events - 62 Top 10 wins Hadn’t event turned 20 yet. Greatest teenager in pro tennis (sports?) history
- Reaching World #1 this late in the season while playing in just 11 (!!!) total events this year...I don't even know the adjective to use 5 titles. 9 finals. 53-6 (.898) overall record. Beyond extraordinaryJannik Sinner. World No.1. Again. 🔝🌎 @janniksin
- Rafael Nadal is the single most captivating player I’ve seen play live, and it’s not particularly close Experiencing his energy in person is unlike anything I’ve come across in tennis
- Not a single point was tanked. Every moment felt consequential. The absolute best version of best of five set tennis What a wonderful, wonderful sport #RolandGarros
- Some scholars argue that no player has ever been better in "week before a major" events than KordaDidn't put a foot wrong all match 💪 Sebastian Korda reaches his first semifinal since January (18th overall) with a 6-1 6-4 victory over Kecmanovic! @WSOpen
00:00 - Janice Tjen since June 2024 - 111-15 (.881) overall - Has reached the QFs or further in 23 of the 30 events she's played - Into her 22nd SF this week in Chennai - Went from unranked to #67 in the live rankings in ~18 months Another player in need of an award ballot shoutoutSemifinals in Chennai 🔜 #ChennaiOpen
- Ranking Team World by bench performance 1. De Minaur: Eye contact after every point. Ideal teammate 2. Agassi: Energy. Energy. Energy 3. Cerundolo: Quietly LOCKED in 4. Rafter: Itching to get into it 5. Fonseca: Just excited about life 6. The Americans: Need more guys!!
- List of Top Ranked ATP players with 100% Approval Ratings amongst fans 1. Berrettini 2. FAA 3. Hurkacz Seriously challenge anyone to find me a segment of TT that has negative things to say about any of these three guys. Three of the kindest, most courteous players in the game
- Medvedev slowly becoming the best interview in all of men’s tennis Fantastic combination of intelligence, candidness, and humor in every answer he gives. Very rarely (if ever) offers up a cookie cutter response. Would be a FANTASTIC podcast guest #AusOpen
00:00 - Anyone taking these comments as a shot at Coco has A) Never played a match with stakes before B) Is just trying to stir the pot Doesn't matter what your opponent does. No one's leaving the court after 70 unforced errors blaming anyone but themselves. Completely understandable"As always I'll come back stronger." 🐯 Aryna Sabalenka speaks after the final ⤵️ #RolandGarros
00:00 - Fritz with the most impressive performance of the day (and arguably his career) as he knocks off Alcaraz 63 62 On a day where they faced the #1, #3, and #11 players on the planet, Team World sweeps singles on Day 2 Cannot believe what I just witnessed
