🚨🚨🚨 Donald Trump just had @PeteHegseth carry out a FULL-BLOWN PURGE of America’s top military and national defense officials. Here’s the full list of who this dangerously unqualified, traitorous ex-@FoxNews hack just axed and the perilous implications for our country (THREAD):

@BillAckman @TennisHalloFame @JackSock I think you just played the “the sun was in my eyes” card. Wow. Just wow.

My last post on the International Hall of Fame Tennisgate.
While I don’t mind and do deserve the ridicule about my poor play at the @TennisHalloFame, the Tennis Hall of Fame itself has received a lot of totally unfair criticism.
The HOF gave @JackSock and me a wildcard to increase interest in its challenger tournament and the Hall of Fame itself. That is precisely the purpose of wildcards. I am not the first non-pro to get a wildcard in a pro event by a long shot.
The HOF’s wildcard strategy succeeded beyond their wildest imaginations with coverage in every major media outlet around the world, and hundreds of millions of views and commentary on social media including a mini-doc about the match that went viral.
Most of the coverage was negative, but almost entirely because of my poor play. Many also claimed that I bribed the HOF for the wildcard, which is entirely untrue. The HOF asked me for nothing and I made no commitments to the HOF. I had in the past donated to the HOF, but had done nothing in recent years.
With respect to the criticism the HOF received for my poor play, this is entirely on me. What has not been disclosed is that I played a doubles tournament 10 days prior at the HOF, and I played great. The field was comprised of former pros and top college players from around the world, but 55 plus in age. Richey Reneberg and I lost in the semis to the ultimate winners of the tournament in the tie breaker.
On the basis of my play during that tournament and my public profile, the HOF made the bet that Jack and I would drive a lot of coverage and interest, and I would play respectably, so it would be a good, fun, and appropriate use of a wildcard.
Where things went wrong is that I hadn’t been beta tested in a professional tournament and my nerves got to me.
Jack also chose the ad side and I have been playing the ad side for the last year. I was also serving into the 1:30pm sun with a shot clock (a new experience for me), and to make matters worse the other side held back making the whole thing look like a farce.
What people are missing is that the whole thing worked out perfectly. My poor play dramatically increased the virality of the event, driving massively more coverage than if I had played well.
So now let me make it better. The HOF is an incredible venue, museum, and tourist attraction, and most people, even tennis fans, didn’t even know it existed until last week. It relies on charitable funding for its existence as a non-profit. So each year the HOF has to go find corporate sponsors and donations to stay solvent, a not so easy task.
@NeriOxman and I are going to help endow the Hall of Fame by giving the HOF a $10 million endowment that I will manage for free. Each year, we will give the HOF 5% of the then endowment principal so the HOF will now have a growing annuity to fund its work and won’t have to worry about hiring financial advisors and paying big fees.
An investment in Pershing Square without fees over the last 21 years has generated a 56-fold return so if we continue to do a good job, the HOF will be able to dramatically expand its mission over time.
We will ask the HOF to use the funds to promote youth interest in tennis and other activities that enhance the game for the players and the fans. As the endowment grows. the funds can go to other initiatives that promote the game of tennis around the world.
In summary, the HOF engineered one of the greatest public relations achievements in tennis history. My failure on the court contributed to its success. That sounds like a grand slam to me. Stealing victory from the jaws of defeat (think @carlosalcaraz French Open final) is one of the things that makes tennis great.
On another note, my partner Richey Reneberg and I hereby challenge @Served_Podcast Andy Roddick and the amateur of his choice to doubles on my court. And feel free to bring the cameras as I am now battle ready.
Now on to the Wimbledon Final!

Never nice heading home early on major weekends. My game was in good shape heading into Oakmont but that’s golf sometimes. I gave it my all on every shot and that’s all I can ask. I play with my heart on my sleeve. I’ve always been a fiery and passionate player and I’ll continue to be. It’s who I am and how I got here ☘️
