@Taylor_Fritz97 @WilsonTennis has really no choice to respond to this both for the players and for the customers. Will be interesting to see the reputation management strategy.

Massive tennis ball rant incoming.

After playing Washington, Cincinnati, and the US Open, plus a full week of training in New York beforehand, I got a VERY good feel for the Wilson US Open balls we were using and know EXACTLY what they should feel like off my racket. They were good balls, and I have no complaints about what we played with at those tournaments this summer.

But since coming home, my last two days of practice with Wilson US Open balls have been miserable. They are sold, marketed, and labeled as the same balls, but the way they come off my racket and feel couldn’t be more different.

After that many weeks using the tournament balls, I know exactly how they respond. The balls I’m practicing with feel like literal green-dot kids’ balls: incredibly soft, dead, and going nowhere. I’m playing on a court with a similar speed to the courts at the Open as well just to be clear. I’ve tried balls from multiple cases to rule out a bad batch, and unfortunately, it’s been the same across the board. Other players I’ve spoken to since the Open have described the same thing.

The amount of effort I have to use to just produce a regular rally ball with these balls is insane. I’m having to throw my whole body into shots and swing out of my shoes just to produce a solid rally ball. Beyond being frustrating, it feels like it’s creating bad habits (I would never swing this aggressively normally or else I’d sent balls to the back fence or mistime every other shot) I’m having to adjust the way I hit just to compensate for a ball that behaves nothing like the one we use in competition.

That leads to the obvious the bigger issue and the reason for the rant: we need to be able to train with the same balls we compete with, and in the past I feel like this wasn’t usually an issue.

It didn’t used to feel this way. There was consistency, and any small differences could usually be explained by the court or conditions. Over the last year and a half, though, I’ve noticed such a significant difference between retail balls from both Wilson and Dunlop and their tournament equivalents, which are supposed to be identical, that it completely changes how you want to construct points and take risks on shots and just play points in general. I’m not exaggerating it really is making that big of a difference at the pro level.

The only positive I can take out of playing with these balls the last couple days is that it takes such more extra effort in every shot i hit at least it has been good cardio consistently having to swing so hard all the time 😂

It’s disappointing that this has started to feel normal. Training is a lot less enjoyable, and a lot less productive, when you’re spending it practicing with balls that are so different from what you’ll use when it matters.

Okay, rant over. Everyone go enjoy watching the rest of the Open :)

Throughout Federer’s 24-year career we only heard Mirka speak publicly once after a Hopman Cup mixed doubles match in 2002

Today she delivered an incredibly moving speech to present her husband into the @TennisHalloFame

It couldn’t have been more fitting

"This is the best place to play. You hear it from everyone. People love coming to play here on the road. We're lucky enough to do it 81 games out of the season. All the MVP chants are cool, but it's cool when we sing the song after a win like today."

Chicago must get back to what we do best - building big things.

Excited today by the announcement revealing O’Hare Flyer, a proposed express train to get from downtown to O’Hare in 15 minutes.

This would be the first airport express in the U.S. And it's led by a group of Chicago business and civic leaders. Chicagoans who know how to get things done.

An innovative high-speed rail solution by a private venture and a real plan to make it happen. These are the kind of people and projects City Hall must actively support. As this Chicago Tribune editorial says: “give us a world-class train for our world-class city.”

I'm on board this express train, and as Mayor, I'll ensure Chicago leads the nation in making it happen.

We accompanied Palestinian-American Loui Ridi to his home yesterday in Qusra, the West Bank.
What we found: a robust Israeli military presence that has stopped settlers from reestablishing their outpost, but failed to keep settlers from roaming the area, violating Israeli military orders and threatening Ridi's home.
