@LifeTuga4 @TheTennisLetter I'm not sure it was. Like Djokovic, Sabalenka is very touchy about crowd support.

@Marc20108448 @TheTennisLetter it was a joke

Aryna Sabalenka after beating Jaqueline Cristian in Madrid “Thank you guys. The atmosphere was incredible. But I have to say… when you guys were cheering more for her I was a bit upset. Next time, please, go for me.” 😂😂😂

@Djoko_UTD Don't worry about this tennis fan, I'll be ok! 😂

🚨 Taylor Fritz and Morgan Riddle are no longer together, People magazine confirms. Sad day for tennis fans as one of the best tennis couple have split up.

@TheTennisTalker I think a lot of guys would struggle to choose between a slam title and Paula Badosa. I know I would! 🔥🔥😍

Tsitsipas 🇬🇷 seeing all these youngsters breaking through and realising he spent too much of his tennis career chasing Badosa rather than Slams

@josemorgado Paolini has had a great run, but she's been punching above her weight for some time now.

Wow. Jasmine Paolini's very poor season (not a single QF above 500 level) continues as she loses in the 3rd round in Madrid to Hailey Baptiste, 7-5, 6-3. Paolini defends the title in Rome. She will leave the top 10 if she doesn't go back to back (even final wouldn't be enough)

@christophclarey @BarbaraRittner In the interests of fairness, the @atptour and @WTA should limit the amount of wildcards a person can receive each year. I think this is a suitable compromise.

@BarbaraRittner I'm fine with letting the market and nostalgia decide

Don't see Venus getting a #RolandGarros wildcard. Never won a singles title there and lost R1 in her last four appearances in 2018 2019 2020 & 2021.

@benbloomsport Ben mansplaining to women what is best for them.

Two distinct things can be true: 1. Women's sport must be protected. 2. Parkrun allows people to run with dogs/buggies. It's for everyone. It's not a competition. The suggestion that a trans runner is a threat to anyone's morning fun run is ludicrous. telegraph.co.uk/sport/2026/04/…

@jwhitey98 This post is dripping with male entitlement. Shameful.

And now they come for Parkrun. PARKRUN. Threatening community run events with legal action cannot possibly be part of protecting women’s sport. For these campaigners, the only thing that seems to matter is the erasure of the trans community from public life.

@christophclarey I hope Wimbledon stand firm against a wildcard into the singles. It's just getting ridiculous now.

@josemorgado Eva gets a lot more media coverage than her modest tennis results warrant.

Zhang Shuai defeats Eva Lys 6-4, 6-3 to reach the second round. Eva never looked comfortable. Lots of errors.

@notcapulett @AthleteVanity True, and he looked poised to challenge for the top ten at one point, but it's all gone a bit downhill since then.

@Marc20108448 @AthleteVanity he actually won a few of his tournaments with her coaching him in his box :)

Ugo Humbert and his partner, Tessah Andrianjafitrimo 🥹 Tennis love 🎾❤️

@TheCinesthetic Don't care for Troy, but thought Alexander was far superior and undeserving of the critical mauling. The Battle of Guagamela was breathtaking.

Troy (2004) has aged far better than its reputation. What felt uneven on release now plays like a confident, old-school epic that modern blockbusters barely attempt anymore.

@JournalistJill @campbellclaret @jk_rowling @RestIsPolitics @SarahEMcBride I can't believe he posted this. What a stunning lack of self-awareness by Campbell! 😂

@campbellclaret @jk_rowling @RestIsPolitics @SarahEMcBride Men’s rights. You have three men talking about men’s rights, Alastair. Incredible.

For those in the middle of the @jk_rowling conversation I strongly recommend you listen to @RestIsPolitics LEADING interview with @SarahEMcBride - you could not wish to hear a more compelling, passionate and measured advocate of trans rights and human rights. m.youtube.com/watch?v=UvxQze…

@TheTennisLetter Average. 🤷‍♂️

Alex Eala stuns at the 2026 Laureus Awards. 🇵🇭🤍

@TheTennisLetter With Alcaraz likely out of the remainder of the clay court season, I no longer really care. 🤷‍♂️

Which man and woman will win Madrid?

@Fergus_Gav There needs to be an enquiry into @the_LTA regarding why British players are so physically fragile.

British tennis is suffering at the moment from illness and injury… Kartal 🇬🇧 won’t play on the dirt this year due to a back injury.

@jamesgraysport If there's a silver lining here with Draper’s injury, and I may be grasping at straws, at least this break should allow the bruised bone in his arm to heal fully.

Jack Draper misses another tournament, has pulled out of the Madrid Masters with an aggravated tendon in his knee. I understand he's still hopefully of playing the French Open at Roland Garros, which starts in just over a month.

@christophclarey As a Brit, I'm feeling very despondent and pessimistic about Jack’s future in tennis, as his body seems so fragile, and it's not as though he has played much in his short career or even gone deep in consecutive weekly tournaments.

Jack Draper continues to struggle to get healthy. Withdraws from Madrid where he was a finalist last year and says he will miss Rome as well. Lots of points coming off - the former world No. 4 is down to 46 in the live rankings - but getting the body right is all that matters at this stage. One of #tennis's great young talents. This from @russellcfuller: bbc.com/sport/tennis/a…

@tumcarayol @josemorgado I've got a feeling there's more to this absence from tennis than is being let on. 🤔

Official: Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the Madrid Open. She has not played since Indian Wells, citing recovery from a viral illness as her reason for withdrawing from recent tournaments.
