Me and Felicia the kitten drove 1450 miles from the Cotswolds in England to Andalucía to start our new life in Spain 🇪🇸

It’s official. We’re here!

And now we can enjoy the tennis again :)

On September 17th, we filled our 200,000th pothole. See something that needs fixing in NYC?

This is why we need female commentators at the top of the sport. Because all too often men fail to hold other men accountable. Despite the “protect women” narrative driving the transphobia in sport currently.
A remarkable moment on Sunday’s broadcast.

I’m gonna memory hole the atp 2026 slam season from the point Carlitos became the youngest male player to achieve the career slam at the AO

Cursed, wretched and painfully, painfully dull season

"If this summer has revealed anything about Zverev, it's this: He is clearly the best of the rest, once you subtract the two actual best."

Loved this article, it put in words what I think about ATP this year, a giant collective failure. 🧵

The U.S. Open Men's Final Changed Nothing | Defector
How strange it is to watch a whole Slam and feel as though we learned almost nothing about the true power hierarchy at the top of the men’s tour. In Sunday afternoon’s U.S. Open final, Alexander Zvere...

Olga Sharypova said in 2020 her ex-boyfriend Alexander Zverev "had become increasingly emotionally and physically abusive over the course of their relationship, which lasted 13 months, wounding her both physically and psychologically."

I don’t wanna be crass but I fucking hate Zverev and I think he’s very bad for mens tennis

Every word of this re #Zverev and today's #USOpen men's singles final.
The ATP, and ESPN/ABC, have been whistling on the porch hoping the parade goes by.
Meanwhile two women accused Zverev of physical violence, including choking, against them.

As @benrothenberg.bsky.social says, there's no men's tennis recession indicator like Zverev making 3 Slam finals (and and this point, seems likely, winning 2-3)

Credit to Mary Carillo, new Hall of Famer, for once more talking about the accusations against Zverev on the U.S. Open World Feed broadcast today.

That feed is broadcast not only around the globe, but into those earpiece radios folks are wearing around the stadium.

Mika Brunold thanks Joao Lucas Reis for being an inspiration and says both of them can help others struggling with their sexuality.

Mika beat Joao 64 63 to win his first challenger title!

Little Flavio put up a better fight than this. Significantly so.
September 13, 2026 at 7:41 PM
That guy not even being asked to play at 70% so far in this final

Just pat-a-caking to the backhand corner until Shelton fluffs a neutral rally ball
September 13, 2026 at 7:18 PM
Feel like I’m watching the same point over and over

If Shelton can’t break out of his backhand corner this is gonna be short and dull

As a culture of silence pervades and persists in tennis, I’m thinking of Nina today.

Just hit me that Rybakina is a Roland Garros away from the career slam

She’s so much more of a complete, all-surface player than I imagined she ever could be tbh
September 12, 2026 at 10:50 PM
When the Jake Paul curse strikes…
September 12, 2026 at 10:46 PM
Rybakina is so bloody cute

I hope she gets more love now

She’s earned it
September 12, 2026 at 10:44 PM
That was a tough as nails performance from Elena Rybakina

Practically flawless from beginning to end

That little smile playing on her face when she was double faulting with nerves at the end took me out 😆❤️

The best woman won tonight.

Oh and fuck Jake Paul
