Jaden is a two-way player on USC's baseball team, though he's likely mostly pitching. I posted it when he committed to them last year.

In Vika’s on-court interview, she referenced a photo of Leo that his dad sent to her. Sounds like they have some sort of decent co-parenting relationship, which is nice news.

Not sure this was posted. Jana Cepelova's baby shower from early September. Last time I think we saw her was the wedding. First photo is with Magdalena Rybarikova and Jana. Second photo has Jana near the middle, Magdalena to her right, Viktoria Kuzmova to her right, and Anna Schmiedlova in the right corner.

Monica never got the credit she should have for moving the women's game forward.

Absolutely. When people talk about other players bringing in the POWER GAME I sometimes wonder what they mean. Monica was the original "I am going to blast this ball of both wings as hard as I can on every shot". Steffi did it but on her FH. Monica was the original one to take the ball early and never back down.
She did change the approach to the game, by a lot.

Monica is tremendous! Her mental fitness and attacking style of play made her a legend :notworthy:

She looks great here, but personally think she looks even prettier at her sister's wedding.

I agree that she look good here, but it's difficult to not look good in one's own wedding. It would have to be someone really homely or a horrible dress choice.

Anyway it is not my purpose to diss Jabeur. She's fine looking, just not good enough to attract sponsors who are looking for a pretty face.

Jabeur spoke this week that she's also been rejected by sponsors because of her country of origin. It's too bad, she's fun to watch.

She also changed the sound of the game, unfortunately.
She was the first 'high profile' player to make loud, annoying vocal noises on every shot. If the powers that be would have had the guts to nip that in the bud, we would have been spared the constant screaming of Sharapova, Azarenka, Sabalenka, the odd noises emanating from Sorribes Tormo - and likely even Nadal's grunting - as well as several others.

Love Jabeur. She might not be beautiful in the extremely limited way sponsors are looking for, but I think she is very pretty, and even better, she's cool and by all accounts a great person. I'd pay attention to anything she endorses.
