ATP 500 WTA 500 Washington DC 7/29 - 8/4 2024

[Fastbackss]

They are trying to find ways to make doubles more fit for consumption.

This worked for baseball - and is always amusing for American football.

As someone who recreationally plays doubles I am super intrigued.

As a player it would be a tough sell - wouldn't want opponents to learn for other matches. For example - say there's a symbol. Would you really want to change it every match?

Advantage to players who speak "rare" languages?

What happened to Samsonova? What kind of injury?

I don't think he's going to get to keep the points, and prize money because if you listen to the end of that clip you can clearly here Shapovalov says to the ATP Supervisor on court 'f_ _ _ you'. That's got to result in a fine, or a suspension.

[Owendonovan]

Was announced that doubles players will be wearing a microphone, so that those watching on TV can hear what they are saying to each other

Sounds gimmicky.

I didn't see the match, but Rothenberg said that Aryna came out after the rain delay spraying the ball and lost in 3 to Bouzkova
