My first response was why is there a pic of Adele here?

I agree that she often looks really different. Does anyone see a little current Adele in this pic? A little?

It's that 60s motown styling.

I'll continue to say she almost always looks perfectly recognizable to me and I don't know why you all are so confused :)

To me, enough to make a double take. Also, the amount of make up makes it even more difficult to not mix them. And the hair.

Casper Ruud is the Elina Svitolina of the men's tour. He always looks different.

Nice of them to all do this. Thanks for sharing.

In terms of the Ons video, except for the Crosscourt thing, they don't typically feature WTA players on their social media. So the caption of what they posted on IG was important of why they were doing this and the Tweet above leaves it out. She is the first Arab player, male or female, to make the top 10.

Thanks! I had to look it up - my initial reaction was that for sure el Aynaoui was top 10, but no, he topped out at No. 14. Great achievement for Jabeur.

A couple of fun things to watch between matches...

Not surprisingly, the Americans are the worst at this first video (I'm counting Osaka as American for this). I'd have thought that Sloane would be better than she is, given her boyfriend. In a different similar soccer/football video, Serena was even worse. The Czechs aren't much better. Halep is probably the best, followed by Ostapenko and Carla, who are also both quite impressive...



This (below) makes some of them look like they were born yesterday to those of us who were born several yesterdays ago. Kontaveit, whose personality I've never really seen before, is great in both videos - very grounded and refreshing...
