TENNIS PLAYERS (Off-Court Shenanigans)

And while we are speaking about photos of Matteo, I just happened across this. It's a nice little piece, and you can practice your Italian. It goes through Queen's Club but doesn't include Wimbledon.

I kind of like the lavender tux but I'm not a fan of the suit and sneakers combo.

Wow. That does NOT look good for Wilson. I remember Sampras cracking a racquet against Henman at W, but that was because Sampras had those things strung to the max. And I once cracked the rim of a ProStaff 6.0, but it was already almost 4 years old, and I do scrape my racquets a lot. But for the head to come off the handle that way...
Time to consider making those racquets somewhere else.

I think her outfit is...horrible. I like that the flowers and his tux matched. TBH it's a very Caribbean thing to do that even though he was born in France.

Her outfit at the reception is more like it. I've only seen it on IG and I'm IG illiterate.

With parents from Guadeloupe and Martinique, a Caribbean influence would be very appropriate. His suit/tux is one of the things I like here. Her wedding dress is a touch unfortunate on many levels, but the idea was solid, just a flawed execution for me. She looks appreciably better at the reception. It's a little surprising they didn't reverse the wedding and reception outfits, but the wedding photos will be the most memorable and the circulated and capture their personalities better, so I understand the decision.

Glad to see Christina 'Dip It Low' Milian

Aide: Stefanos, someone named Aga Radwanska is on line one?

If you listen to the commentary, a woman says something about all of that just to save a code violation right at the end. So apparently he hit the racket, cracked it, and then played with it. But still, it's kind of amazing.

Did Aga do that too?

Then Stefanos needs to do some math. A code violation gives you a warning, playing with that racquet cost him the point.
Well, your point explains it.
And yes, Aga did that once. Her racquet did crack (no initial smacking, as you tell us, though).

Watch both. Not great for Wilson since this was hardly impressive, but probably not problematic for them either.

OMG. The look on her face says it all. Bahahahahahaha. It's interesting that in both cases, it was on a backhand.
