@GlamSpinTennis @jon_wertheim @Wimbledon Agreed. He tried, was denied and no doubt felt helpless. And yes lawyers are expensive, especially for someone who’s livelihood just went to zero overnight.

@jon_wertheim @Wimbledon But his note said he did confront it, prevailed, and lost his appeal at CAS. This is a very different fact pattern You journos have said the appeals court is more lenient, and less punitive, but it wasn’t in his case. Is there bias in his case?

In his last tournament (@Wimbledon ) he beat Taylor Fritz… Talented players in his mid 20s -ranked inside the top 60 - and decides he’s rather retire than confront the tennis antidoping machinery? Something is profoundly wrong here….

@Sommerset1616 @TheTennisLetter Lordy, you’ve totally missed the point. Have you ever hear of a metaphor? Maybe read 3-;4 more times and go ask someone to explain it, 😎

The comparison of Djokovic to Yoko Ono is the most ridiculous analogy I've heard from an athlete. In tennis, there's no 'breakup' caused by non-players; they're not a band, not on the same team. No girlfriends are involved. Djokovic dominates because of his skill, not some imaginary 'breakup.' Andy should be ashamed of his absurd comparison

Andy Roddick says Djokovic was like a cyborg during Federer/Nadal rivalry, mainstream fans were mad at him for it: "I feel like Novak Djokovic is the guy who broke up The Beatles. He is like tennis' Yoko Ono. He is the one who we didn't want, didn't need. We had the rivalry, we had the lefty-righty. We had the contrasting styles. Then all of a sudden, this cyborg robot, but also someone who plays with a lot of emotion, comes in and is like, 'I'm not buying into the hype. I am complete. You can't go through me, you can't go around me. I'm gonna take the punches from these guys'. It was weird. It was almost like the kind of mainstream not tennis-centric fan was kinda mad at him for it.” (via @Served_Podcast) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ser…

@TennysSandgren @jon_wertheim Well said. Keep saying it 😎💪🏼

@jon_wertheim Money>gender equality

ATP and PIF announce multi-year deal as Saudi Arabia increases involvement in tennis thenationalnews.com/sport/tennis/2…

A male cyclist has dominated yet another female competition. ‘Trans inclusive’ policies make a mockery of fair sport. Sporting rules should reflect biological reality, not gender ideology, says @JamesEsses spiked-online.com/2023/06/14/tra…

Kudos to @Noahrubin33 for bringing many important issues - in Tennis and in life- to the forefront, with his Behind the Racket podcast and website

@BenRothenberg I watched that match. I guess I missed something. Not a big fan of either's tennis or personality (on court) but I didn’t see Medvedev do anything unsportsmanlike

Lost in the dust in Monte Carlo: This line from Zverev about how he thinks his rivalry with Medvedev can never live up to Federer-Nadal… …because ultimately Medvedev isn’t going to be likable enough?

@luciahoff what is that stuff?

Or Swedish meatballs ... #climatechange

@pepsicocom @lawanda50 @chris_eubanks96 arthur wasnt as tall as Chris but chris killed it in the re-enactments, both in Citizen Ashe, the doc, and Ashe 68, the VR film ashe68.com

@lawanda50 @chris_eubanks96 Arthur wasn't that tall! 😁Congratulations, keep killing it on and off court.🦾👏🏿

Be sure to keep a close eye on Arthur’s double during the #CitizenAshe documentary 👀

@NastiaPav well said

@bgtennisnation nice

beautiful 🤩 sunrise 🌅 wall hit 💪👊😎

@WeAreTennis you say, "next point!"

POV: Your Daniil Medvedev's coach. What do you say to him at this precise moment?

@IanKatzTennis @ReemAbulleil he wasnt "acting like a villain", he was perfectly behaved the whole match, whole tournament

Daniil Medvedev opened his press conference with this long monologue. He later gave an example of the crowd being “disrespectful” & “disappointing”. “I’m not sure after 30 years I’m gonna want to play tennis” “The kid that was dreaming isn’t anymore in me after today”

@TennisNewsTPN @WSOpen I’m here in Winston Salem, on site at Hanes Park with about 75 energized middle school/high school players for a clinic, thanks to @ustanorthcarolina

Coming up later today, filmmaker @rexpix takes over our twitter feed from the @WSOpen #WSOpen

@darfie @luciahoff @usopen Agreed. Very disappointing

@usopen Hey USTA what's up with this ?? If you can fans for the main draws why not the qualifying ??? Terrible Decision!!!!

Just served: @CNNFilms & @hbomax partner to bring ‘CITIZEN ASHE’ to screens; film is produced by @Dogwoof, @RexPix, and Stick Figure Productions, details: cnn.it/3hHpXDH

@Gael_Monfils hang in there, big victories ahead!

❤️🙏🏾🙅🏾‍♂️

@tkwagner @sarahcpr Oh my. Is that real?

My new favorite way to browse the Internet is to get on a zoom call, pin the video of the person wearing glasses, then see what they’re looking at in the reflection on their lenses

@laurarobson5 @simonrbriggs @Annabel_Croft you tell him, hang in there, best of luck

@simonrbriggs @Annabel_Croft Thanks Simon but I don’t think I used the words all but over. I have said I am unsure and it will depend on how things heal. I hope we can all be more positive in such shitty times!

@BenRothenberg please keep us posted, important story

Since I've gotten a few questions about this recently: Yes, I am still working on the follow-up to my initial article on Olga Sharypova's allegations against Zverev, and hope to have it finished soon (got sidetracked by some non-work stuff recently). There's more to her story.

Der Spiegel has posted an English version of their recent profile of Sascha Zverev and family. Some illuminating stuff. spiegel.de/international/…

@BenRothenberg @racqetmagazine Ben well done these stories need to be told, Olga needs to be supported and most importantly believed! Olga’s story also has the all-too-familiar scenario of a charismatic famous abuser that people just cant fathom is abusive.

Last week I traveled to New Jersey to hear Olya Sharypova’s story of what she says happened as her relationship with ATP Star Alexander Zverev deteriorated into physical and emotional violence last year. Here, for @racqetmagazine, is Olya’s story. racquetmag.com/2020/11/05/oly…
