TENNIS PLAYERS (Off-Court Shenanigans)

Do we still think she looks a bit like Monica Seles?

Sania with son Izhaan and sister Anam. He's with her in Cleveland and is super adorable, he was running around on the court after the match was over.

A little. In a complementary way, as Monica was also pretty when she dressed up.
Belinda is prettier, though.

Garbine has been hosting that event for the last few years. Bianca co-hosted this year. Not the most flattering angle of her here imo, the photo she posted is better.

Players who have puked on court and won the match in 2021:

Juvan (AO)
Jabeur (Wimbledon)
Zverev (Cincy)
Otte (USO Q - twice)

Maybe we need another contest thread like best racket smashes.

Shapovalov, Osaka, Kvitova, FAA, de Minaur



Muguruza looking good as usual

[ponchi101]

Kvitova for the win.
I didn't know FAA was that tall. Petra is wearing heels and he still has 3-4 inches of clearance.

Hard pass

That pic of Mugu is much better than the one with Andrey and Andreescu

6'-4"

Love Asics’s dress - here on Garcia, Swiatek also wearing it. The back has a perfect slot cutout so the tank is separated from the skirt. Love the color and the cut. Looks more deep blue than purple on my TV.

The crazy part of his statement is that, if there is one sport in which "normal" people participate A LOT, it has got to be tennis (and golf). This is not Formula 1 or Nascar, where truly 99% of reporters have never been in one of those cars. It is not even NFL football, in which plenty of people reporting on the sport have never worn pads. There are plenty of people playing tennis in the summer in Atlanta or Florida, at noon. Drenched in sweat and not taking 60 seconds breaks in between games because their $60/hour court fee does not allow them.
Disgusting story, feel free to skip the next paragraph:
I went to college in Florida. During one summer, I once took off my shirt and, because I WAS NOT AND NEVER HAVE BEEN A PRO, had to squeeze my t-shirt off all the sweat. I almost filled the can of balls with what came out, and then overflowed it with what was in my bandana.
So don't assume so quickly, Reilly, that NOBODY knows what poor darling Stefanos is going through. The one part I really don't know about is having 6 extra T-shirts in my bag, three shorts, 5 pairs of socks and a pair of extra shoes. That part I really don't know.

When I played league tennis in Atlanta, mixed doubles in the summer was the toughest season for me. My husband and I typically played the bottom of the line-up so for a match that started at 9AM, we usually hit the court around mid day. I've played plenty of 3 setters and used to bring a cooler with a wet towel in it to put across the back of my neck on changeovers. Came close to heat exhaustion on a couple of occasions. Sweating was good - it's when you stop sweating that it becomes a problem.
