Even good things something comes to an end. I would like to thank @BigSascha for everything he did for me and my team. It was an incredible time and i learned a lot! Mainly how to be more positive and believe in myself :) One of the best coaches out there, good luck my friend

Looks like Betfair isn't streaming Newport. Not only did they lose all WTA, they're losing more and more ATP as well.

Juan Ignacio (not Yas) @juanignacio_ac
October 19th 2020: Elena Rybakina is supposed to make her Top 10 debut as number 9, but doesn't because of frozen points. Stays 19th

July 11th 2022: Elena Rybakina is supposed to make her Top 10 debut as number 6, but doesn't because Wimbledon doesn't give points. Stays 23rd

I feel like they didn't have Newport last year already.

I'm pretty sure they did here.

Steve Johnson vs Stefan Kozlov again!

4th time this year.

Laura Robson @laurarobson5

It’s that annual time of year where @Madison_Keys tries and fails to convince me to get air conditioning in my house.

“It’s only hot one week a year” - you tell me while you’re laying on your kitchen floor because that’s the only cool place in your home

classic hipster stuff in Rome.
Hijikata from 1.04 ---> 1.70ish ---> 1.01 ---> 100 ---> 2.00 ---> 1000

I'm sad that Ben tweeted that the women's Invitational doubles winners Clijsters and Hingis 'should be made to play the women's doubles next year too, they're just that damn good' without encouraging valiant runners up Dani and Laura Robson to do the same.

Novak to play USO confirmed?

Wishful thinking I'd suggest.

I doubt there'll be any change before the mid-term elections.

Tsurenko vs Rakhimova going for longest match of the year.

Wow - exact time of Borg v McEnroe 1980! 3:53

If anyone hasn't seen this before, and interesting in-depth interview with Nastya Pavs. It has English subtitles. Enjoy

Pironkova gave birth to her second child. She can come back now.

After play in Lausanne was repeatedly disrupted by people in the club restaurant, and all the umpire's requests to remain silent were ignored, Danilovic chose to tackle the issue herself by going right under their balcony, waving the racquet and saying "we're trying to play here"

Frickin Swiss people.

the tennis players are "the entertainment"

I can't believe Team Siegemund just did that! wow!

Thiem!

National Bank Open @NBOtoronto
She’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

That’s right, our 3-time champion @serenawilliams returns to Toronto. And she likes playing here, she’s reached the semis of better the last five times she’s played. #NBO22

Silliams going for the US Open!

Toronto will be stacked though, she'll be lucky to win a match.

how do you know? she might have gone into beast mode training since Wimbledon

Silliams going to have a party alright !

she old.

going to be very interesting. will be even more interesting if she somehow flukes an out of form high ranked player like Garbine for her first match and can build into the tournament

Elisabetta Cocciaretto breaking through now. Jessica told me about her in some interview, said she was good and would break through but was suffering injuries which had halted her progress a bit

Venus getting a WC to SJ.

Swedish commentary on the F Cerundolo vs Karatsev stream.

Lesia tapped. No surprise after she played nearly 4 hrs yesterday.

Diego went to the night clubs in Båstad last night?

Alize Cornet @alizecornet
Donc @AirFrance vient de m'annoncer que mon sac de tennis disparu depuis maintenant 11 jours ne serait probablement jamais retrouvé... du coup je suis censée faire quoi pour repartir en tournoi la semaine prochaine ?
Cella-là on ne me l'avait jamais fait
Translated from French by
So @AirFrance just told me that my tennis bag, which has been missing for 11 days now, will probably never be found... so what am I supposed to do to go back to the tournament next week?
That one had never been done to me
