On the court I find her boring, but I feel sorry for her due to situation in Ukraine. Off court she's a decent person as far as I could see...

I find her funny, and I think she is a total overachiever. With THAT game, she has won a lot and has reached a very high ranking.
She is a bit of a Wosniacki to me, with even a bit less power. So I give her credit.

Nevermind 'silver spoons' - now we're talking GOLD spoons!

I've always been rather neutral about Svitolina in all aspects... I sympathize with her because of the situation in Ukraine... but I completely disagree with her position that all Russian and Belarusian players should be banned from the tour. I find that position to be based solely on emotion, and not at all on intelligence (what tangible good would it do to ban these players?). And it is also extremely unjust.
R.I.P. Amal...

Hell of a competitor. Too bad God didn't give her a second serve. She might have won a Slam.

Translation:
Tennis #1 talks about mental health, Nadal, and why she wants people to have fun.

Is that a Spanish magazine or South American? I wonder why they chose Iga for a cover.

Can’t remember the thread where Deuce asked about Kenin recently… maybe Madrid. Anyway, looks like she had surgery and is rehabbing well.
