I hate it.
"Oh, I met the person I love in a skiing chair on a lift in a skiing resort in Switzerland, after he recognized me because I am famous and beautiful and he is handsome and super wealthy".
Who were you expecting to meet there? Joe Schmoe? :P :lol:

The weird part of the meet-cute was that he ended up being a fashion executive and she’s so stylish. He could have been anyone, and THAT’S who she randomly meets on a walk to Central Park??

Megan is right on this one.

That would have been too much. :) She took a walk in Central Park and met him in the street somewhere. He recognized her and said good luck at the open, then turned around and asked for a photo. She was smitten.

Is this the only Slam decided on a challenged championship point?

Probably the only one where the call was reversed in a challenge that ended the match in a slam final, but one of the worst things about the challenge system was challenging match points even if the ball was out by miles.

Agree, a necessary evil.

Not the only one.
The last Roger/Rafa final at the Aussie (I forget the year, but I think it was 2017) also ended on a challenged MP.

But that call was correct. Muguruza challenged, and reversed an incorrect call on match point.

Right but was it overturned in favor of the winner? Did the winner have to stop the point to challenge?

Edit: oh sorry this was answered above

I still feel Venus is owed a point from Wimbledon from that Sprem? match.
