We still talk about tennis. And much more.

Halle should be a 1000 simply because there should be a MS1000 on grass.mick1303 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 30, 2025 8:36 pm Now the final in Miami is delayed because of rain. I've looked - only Madrid and Shanghai have courts with roofs out of all AP1000 events. Given that an attempt to move an event from Madrid looks like utter stupidity. IMO for events with such a caliber at least one court with a roof is a must-have. Make Halle ATP1000!

OK, and I’m not trying to defend them exactly, but each of them were influencers before they started the whole tennis gf thing. Paige Lorenze was famous for her ex Armie Hammer trying to eat her or whatever and had a successful clothing line before she ever met Tommy Paul.
These women are influencers before they met the tennis bfs- it is actually their profession before and after their dating situation. Obviously they’re leveraging it to their advantage but I think it’s an important distinction to make that she was getting brand deals before the tennis stuff too.

I would exclude Ayan from this conversation because she’s more than just a WAG. She actually plays tennis (former NCAA champ) and has done a lot to grow the sport from the very beginning. As much as I like Morgan, she’s an influencer who made tennis her brand when she started dating Taylor. Same with Paige. Ayan was always a tennis player first and influencer second

Well yeah, because in the minds of marketing companies it's easier to sell people on the pretty blonde woman instead of your average female tennis player that might not be considered as conventionally attractive. Pretty Privilege has always been a thing.
Which for a player with nothing more than grit, is kind of important.JTContinental wrote: ↑Sun Apr 20, 2025 10:19 pm Sara Sorribes Tormo is taking an extended break from tennis as she has lost her desire to compete.
Like Gilbert, her real expertise was in making the other player play badly .I won't miss her....JTContinental wrote: ↑Sun Apr 20, 2025 10:19 pm Sara Sorribes Tormo is taking an extended break from tennis as she has lost her desire to compete.
