“A PhD in winning ugly”, yep

Coco Gauff!

Time to watch Venus Williams play tennis.

Venus time.

Tennis fandom has me now eternally associating that song with Pegula

Istanbul was Constantinople 😂😂
So many great one liners in this episode

The gold medal to king fu panda to Britney Spears to Jackie Chan … pipeline?

Elina and Coco always a battle

This from Coco is obviously great, but it’s also striking how well Coco deals with partisan crowds — for a player who has pretty universal support, feels like it could be difficult, but she manages it so well. Felt notable at RG against Boisson, too.

Yeah I hate that this isn’t really an option for tennis

Amusing but also frustrating how this is true across multiple sports

🏆 🦅📯🇨🇿🥰

Congratulations to Muchova on finally collecting a big trophy

Feel like it actually had more great matches than AO?

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Vicky has a 1000
And now Kaja does, too

Against*

Look, I have to say that watching this final, I could not stop thinking about that RG final and Iga
Afraid to say it out loud, but also …

Vicky Top 10 within her first year on tour, insane

😂

Huge win for such aesthetically beautiful tennis ✨

KAROLINA MUCHOVA

Nobody move. Nobody breathe. Karolina Muchova is serving for her 1st WTA 1000 and just her second title, first since 2019.

One service game, it’s always one service game

Looking forward to the Krunic trophy speech

Glad the guy who won gold had a clean skate. I can’t help but feel bad for the silver medalist from Japan. He thought he had to beat Malinin and skated tight but if he had landed even one more jump he would have won gold.

Feels like Ilia Malinin might want to talk to Nathan Chen

Olympics, and sports in general (i.e. tennis majors)
