A production error. Someone pulled the wrong Sinjury story into the Home Page hopper. Rushing produces mistakes, just like in tennis!

Yes, I made up Sinjury.

Then copyright it

She understood. She's just too smart to fall for a "gotcha" question like that.

"Because the GOAT on clay is playing what is certainly his last Rome tournament, and the GOAT is coming back from injury, and I am crushing lower opponents in matches that have all the drama of a cat napping"
Happy now?

Also, someone dropped a water bottle on Novak's head.

He he..if someone had dropped a bottle on Iga's head ..

And I will be a jerk and bring this topic back to its original intention: No, beats Zhang for Rome SEMI FINALS spot.
And you can see that is straight from the ATP site.
Somebody, please, bring back proof readers. In a hurry.

But...but AI!

Good for Iga.

Tennis is the only sport that hides reporters names.

Sorry. Totally valid question, as far as I am concerned. She is good everywhere, that is true; it is not as if she had not won any other title on any other surface.
But the difference between clay and the other surfaces is notable

The reporter phrased the question in the negative and I think that's what ticked Iga off. If he had asked "Why are you so dominant on clay?" Instead of "Why aren't you so dominant on other surfaces?" She would've probably given a nuanced answer.

In the real world she has more wins on hard than on clay.

Tignor has the score wrong in his story on the Rome finals on Tennis.com. Someone will blame the copy editr now, I am sure. But even I know the score, and I dont make a living on this.

Can't blame someone who doesn't exist - that's why these errors get through - there is limited, or no editing process any more, and it's incredibly difficult to spot errors in our own writing because our brains will fix the errors as we read.

My husband has me proof much of his writing. He's an editor and a writer for 40 years but I still catch simple errors every now and again. If you're self proofing your work, you can let same error go by 5 times.

That's a good system
