I know heels in general can be dangerous, but given Serena's history of ankle sprains, and almost cutting off her toe it still surprises me that she wears heels.

I don't think Leylah is at the wedding. That photo does not look like Asheville, looks like some tropical locale.

No real photos of the bride and groom or the wedding yet just stuff on IG Stories, but Jess looks nice, a more modern cut to her dress. Might get photos on social media, but she also might have sold them and it'll appear in a magazine in the future.

Extra photo of Jen and then Jen and crew on the eve of the wedding.

Definitely not. Those were unrelated items in my post. Sorry for the confusion. :)

Has anyone else seen the commercial with Serena and she's playing and there is a horror movie motif? It came out a few weeks ago I think, I guess because of Halloween, but it's totally bizarre.



Two thoughts...Does anyone think that the woman Serena aces to win the match looks a little like Genie? And the nerd in me wants to write them and tell them they have it wrong. The announcers say "triple match point, Serena Williams" but she's serving from the deuce court. Even if she were up 6-3 i a tiebreak, she'd be serving from the ad court.

I don't think the commercial is bizarre, but yes, it's because of Halloween they are using a horror motif, next month I'm guessing they'll roll out some holiday movie. But the commercial gets the point across well of live vs streaming and does so I'm sure at a much lower cost than showing NFL or NBA clips.

Outside of being blonde, I don't think the player looks anything like Genie.

As for deuce/ad court. Please don't be that guy, Kevin. I beg of you to share a tidbit like that here and nowhere else.

The shot of the other woman is so fast that I can tell if she looks like Genie. But she is wearing Nike so... Old Genie.
And the NERD IN ME would also write to them. Just for fun. :)
