If I caught a ball in the stands and generously gave it to someone else and that someone threw the ball back, I would strangle them

I'll be sleeping through Botic's match (and I don't watch that other guy anyway), but here's a phonetic note for the man of the hour, since his last on-court interviewer put a "shlup" at the end of his name, which is even worse than "shulp".

Siniakova took a heavy fall and didn't get up. Instead of showing the slightest concern, Zheng turned away. (Siniakova recovered after treatment and won.)

Lobjan @lobjan.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Zheng's game is formidable when it's on, but her behaviour towards Siniakova at Wimbledon put me right off. That kind of thing goes beyond cultural differences Rybakina making the SF and going no. 1 brings credit to Stefano Fuckoff too, so that's soured. But on balance I'm siding with Rybakina here

I’m very sorry that Carlitos lost to that MAGA fuckwit. But I’m also amazed the boy genius got so far and so close to the SF. He was charming and philosophical afterwards. I suspect he’ll be very, very dangerous for the remainder of the season.

I saw very little of Wimbledon week 1 because I moved house and had no internet. Been enjoying week 2. I'm mostly ignoring the men's but was delighted by the women's SF line-ups. Thrilled to see Muchova fit, fabulous, and in with a good chance, though Noskova winning would be an acceptable outcome.

Alexandra Eala laying out in a fantastic photo from @jjlovestennis.bsky.social, Eala upset Iga Swiatek in straight sets at Wimbledon "Sometimes you just instantly know that something's the photo of the day...maybe the tournament even. I can't recall ever shooting anything similar to this."
Eala is parallel to the ground with the far hand down flat, both toes on the grass, and the racquet laid back around 40 degrees with the ball in front of it - photo is from ground level

Thoroughly enjoyed the women's doubles final. Siniakova and Townsend went astray during set 2 but recovered well and locked it down And that's a wrap on this chaotic Roland-Garros.

Really interesting insights from Jakub Mensik's coach and mental coach about how he has trained himself to remain calm and composed in the biggest moments. There's a self confidence, both innate and trained, that could be key against Zverev today ⬇️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/733...
nytimes.com
Jakub Menšík’s tennis rise looked inevitable. Instead, he found the tools to make it happen
The 20-year-old Czech's self-confidence and calmness on big points appear preternatural. In reality, they are honed by practice.
