Or make one

Odd that Badosa doesn't look this good in photoshoots. And he's the model.

I agree 100%. She's very pretty, yet most of the photo shoots I've seen of her don't capture her beauty at all. This is a really nice pic of her.

Not sure where this goes, but since the first post on this thread is about Asia Muhammad…she is one of the only people who “likes” my Instagram stories. Started recently. No idea how she started following me. Obviously, I’m a big fan now.

I didn't know you were writing IG stories. Can you post a link?

I don't know how to link to a story. Here's my account if you want to follow. Are you on Instagram?

No. Not in IG I guess I will miss them.

You might be able to still see them. I’m not sure. If not, you aren’t missing much. Just me whining about losing matches and revealing tips that everyone learned decades ago.

However, I won a fantastic match last night. Tried to blow it and failed. At 4-5 in the second-set tiebreak, when I was up a set, I caught myself going, "In 10 minutes, when you're crushed that you lost this match after controlling most of it, you're going to with you had played this point differently. This will be the story of the match. You will wish you had played it with belief." Luckily I snapped out of it and actually played the point that way, since it hadn't actually happened yet. Told myself to trust my forehand, relax, make some shots. Won a long rally, the kind I had been losing in the second set, and the intensity forced her into a couple errors. GSM. Honestly, I spent that whole 4-5 changeover preparing emotionally to handle the crushing loss after leading a set and 4-2. And yet I was still in the lead! Only down one point in the TB! Crazy! That's how little belief I have that I won't make errors when it's tight.

IG Stories can only be viewed by those with accounts. IG Stories have always been that way, but IG in general has definitely cracked down on the amount of posts one can easily view without an account. Direct links I believe always work, but without an account, they make it a hassle to just scroll through someone's page without being signed in.


@ponchi, you can always use one of you 10 burner emails to create a profile.

Four. Only four
Uhm, maybe I can create a TAT2.0 e-mail and use that one...

I guess I'll put this here. Venus just posted a new YouTube video on how to hit a second serve. I'm afraid to watch it.

Was one of them that she 'liked' the Gilles Simon story?

You should write one about Asia herself.
When you write about one of your matches, you could write:
"At match point down, I had an epiphany! I asked myself 'What would Asia Muhammad do in this situation?' And with that renewed strength, I was able to pull myself out of the abyss and eventually win the match!"

Why are you afraid to watch? There are a lot of players on tour who should give her serve videos a look. A lot.

It's just the wear and tear of all those double faults set point or match point down.
