We had hoped the injury yesterday was not serious but unfortunately it appears like it is to be out of Wimbledon this quickly.
You're hoping its not ACL like Baptiste suffered now, it did not look good in Queen's yesterday.
-Players asked for £70M in @wimbledon 2026 prize$, 16 percent of gross revenue, per their math.
- WB came with £64.2m, short of the target; but a *20* percent increase from 2025.
- The should be enough to stave off protest.
- @usopen is next. And players are keenly aware of the staggering ticket price increase...

I have been professional for nearly a decade now, so it’s time for a little self-reflection.
During those 10 years, I have grown up, matured, and adjusted my journey in real time.
Here are 10 things I learned the hard way as a 27-year-old tennis player: https://t.co/ripjiIBjvT
I mentioned in this weekend’s issue that Jacob & Co. reached out to me offering to pay me to post about their watch partnership with Zverev.
Clay Magazine, who never posts details about fashion or accessories, took the bait. They were paid $500 to do so.
❌🇩🇪 Alexander Zverev ended his interview with L’Équipe early after being asked about the allegations of domestic abuse:
“First of all, this is not that kind of interview. Secondly, do you know that the accusations have been proven to be false?
“This is the second time you've asked me about this. I did everything I could and my innocence has been proven.
“I think we should stop, it's better this way."

Friendly reminder that a judge found there was enough evidence to issue a penalty order against Zverev. He challenged it, triggering a public trial. The case was later discontinued via settlement before any verdict. And the settlement went to state and charity.
🚨 Taylor Fritz’s Ex girlfriend Morgan Riddle to Elle :
“I made, like, a 33-point non-negotiables list for my next relationship,” she said. “It has basic things like intellectual intimacy, no sports betting or gambling”
Also added “I’ll never date an athlete again.”
😨😨
On a voulu interroger Alexander Zverev sur les réserves d'une partie du public et des médias, eu égard aux accusations de violences conjugales de deux anciennes compagnes. Ça s'est très mal passé.

This is a good time to bring up this article for new tennis fans. A harrowing reminder of what victims of abuse endure and the lengths institutions go to in order to protect abusive men like Alexander Zverev.
