With regard to not being able to see the ball clearly on the #MonteCarloMasters broadcast.. It is painful indeed 😒 The camera is too high. It gets especially bad when it's sunny, with the court turning lighter and (somehow) shinier on screen. (Photo, courtesy of @saqiba.bsky.social)

It is the 40 year anniversary of the 1985 ladies championship match between Navratilova and Evert. It was the last time the pair would play a final at #Wimbledon . It was also the last time white Slazenger balls were used at Wimbledon It was also the first tennis match I watched.

I was on vacation when @saqiba.bsky.social and crew recorded their Wimbledon preview but I’d have had Jannik, Carlos and Novak inked in for the QFs or beyond. I’m on record with Saqib as saying going through both Jannik and Carlos is a big ask for anyone.
