😍 L’image du tournoi.
Il est 20h50 à Wimbledon.
Toutes les ouailles, gavées de champagne, ont déserté la Royal Box.
Un seul reste.
Federer.
Pour le respect dû aux joueurs, et notamment au dernier vainqueur de Roland-Garros.
L’élégance ultime.
It's 9pm local time in London, everyone in the Royal Box has left the building, and the camera pans to the one person who stayed to watch the last match of the day...
Roger Federer, the winningest men's champion in Wimbledon history.
Cinema.
Novak Djokovic not happy with a tournament supervisor as they just announced they will be closing the roof at 7:40 during his match with Aliassime at Wimbledon
“The other day you didn’t want to close it until 8:30. Now you want to close it. You don’t want to get to 8:30? It’s 7:40 now. We can play a whole nother set outdoors. We’re an outdoor tournament.”
*the supervisor says something inaudible about Jannik’s match*
“With Jannik, I don’t care what happens in his matches. I’m talking about our match right now.”
“You remember the first round, you didn’t close it til like 8:20. Now you want to close it at 7:40. Where’s the consistency?”
“You’re so proud of your rules and you’re not sticking to any kind of rules. You have no idea what the rule is.”
Felix is also saying he wants the roof to stay open.
I was meant to meet Hasan in person, until our government banned him from entering the UK.
We met online instead to talk about the repression of Palestinian solidarity — and why we will never stop speaking out against genocide and apartheid.
Another thing I love about #RATW is that sometimes the travellers know they won’t win so concentrate on making memories, and that is beautiful. Their personal journeys are the story. Magical television #raceacrosstheworld
In a world where young men are often written about negatively, or headlines focus on the words and actions of self-proclaimed influencers of toxic-masculinity, can we take a moment to celebrate Race Across The World's Jo and Kush? #RATW
@rawsalerts Part of me loves that republicans are seeing the horror of loose gun restrictions. If this is how grown people react, imagine children just trying to go to school.
6 years ago today I went on my last run (pic left) — today I’m 36 and I’ve spent my entire 30’s with #LongCovid struggling to walk up and down the block, or work more than 1-2 hours a day.
Heres 4 things I never thought I’d lose at this age:
🚨 Myron is acting like he caught Louis Theroux in some grand deception, but his “missing context” dunk changes absolutely nothing.
What people responded to in the documentary was not just the words Angie said. It was her demeanour. The hesitation. The discomfort. The careful way she seemed to be talking around his expectations rather than speaking from a place of ease, enthusiasm or equality. That is what viewers picked up on immediately. You cannot 'debunk' that by posting a longer clip of her still trying to navigate his one-way terms.
And the longer clip doesn’t help him anyway. It still revolves around his rules, his freedom, his comfort, and whether other women would be too much of a 'headache' for him. That is not some beautiful example of open, mutual, secure love. It is a man centring his own entitlement while the woman next to him appears to be accommodating it as best she can.
That is why this defence falls flat. Louis did not need to invent a narrative. He just had to let the dynamic breathe long enough for people to see it. Angie’s face, tone and uncertainty told the story perfectly well. And the fact she left him not long after filming only makes Myron’s victory lap look even more absurd. You cannot edit in that kind of tension. People saw it because it was there.
He keeps shouting “context” as though more footage magically transforms the underlying dynamic. It doesn’t. It just gives us more of the same.
