About Daniil. Yes, I had no idea either, and it may have been part of his level of play for the year. Maybe a bit too happy?

Think Elina is going to play again? She isn't retired, right? She's only 28.

She's only 28, so physically far from over.
But her game was slowly becoming "not enough" for the current level of the WTA. So it is not only if she will come back, can she come back at a high level. I would have questions there.

I hope she comes back. I have come to appreciate her defense and her competitiveness in the last couple of years. Kind of like Radwanska - I thought she was a boring pusher for the first half of her career, then I became a savvier fan and appreciated her creativity, composure and defense. I finally get tennis enough to appreciate Svitolina's ability to never beat herself and withstand powerful opponents. I think she could still have Top 20 results, although the second serve is a big liability.

Monfils hasn't retired, right?

Who is the guy in the hat? And, since I am asking, who is Lexi?
I think Lexi is just a friend/third-wheeler.
Y'all are truly a mess. That is not Matteo on that boat. That is a less attractive unknown man. And Lexi is one of Amanda's friends, she is/was a college tennis player. A good deal of Amanda's friends are tennis players, just many of them weren't as good as her.

Olympia is so grown up! She's 5 now, I guess. Who's the blonde with Hingis and Radwanska?

Ah. The blonde threw me off. I'm used to her with darker hair.

Does anyone still affectionately call Hingis "Chucky" anymore?
