Was this mentioned already? Didn't see it, sorry if it was posted elsewhere.

If that is true, it is sickening. That is straight out of a third world dictatorship manual.

There's a story about it in The Age and a Tennis Channel tweet references an incident. So not sure about this particular person, but it overall appears to be truthful, wouldn't have posted otherwise.

It was a rhetorical "if that is true". Sorry if I was misconstrued, but I doubt the story in no way whatsoever.
It is just that when I see things like that, the personal feeling is sickening. Reminds me too much of the tactics back home. And it reminds me of how I feel when people talk poorly about the press.
Go ahead. Go live in a country without free press. See how it feels.
(Mixing politics with sports, but I hope I am clear on what I mean).

^ Nice to see.
In the Juniors, Canada has Jaden Weeks playing in the Boys... Jaden's a really nice kid - a lefty. He's got the comportment of a pro already - he would fit right in.
He won his first round match today.
In the Girls, Canada has 4 playing, I believe - Xu, Kupres, Cross, and Mboko. All won their 1st round matches today.
Victoria Mboko is 15 years old, is the 14th seed here, and is, to me, Canada's best hope at an eventual pro career.
R.I.P. Amal...

Have you all noticed that in four matches Barty has been broken only once? That's amazing for WTA no matter who you're facing.

She was actually in her 63rd or 64th consecutive service hold when Anisimova broke her in set 2!!
I just went through Barty’s H2H to investigate, it seems Gauff was the last player to break the Barty serve in the second round of Adelaide (she broke 3 times in that match too, good for Cori!)

This is the point at which the phrase "I thought Australia was a democracy" stops being ironic:

Have we noticed? They won't shut up about it so hard not to notice.
