Saying “it’s always annoyed me that Serena Williams is a passionately competitive and incredibly successful black woman” would save a lot of you some characters in your think pieces.

"The next couple of weeks will determine if Jannik Sinner needs more than strawberries and cream to remain cool in his pursuit of back-to-back trophies on Centre Court."

With Wimbledon beginning, it’s a perfect time to begin reading Tennis Tensions

It's my great hope that the tennis community will rally together to replace rules & traditions rooted in classism, racism & sexism with new rules & traditions that embrace equity, equality & inclusion

My advice to anyone who wants to be an author: Always be reading.

You need to couple that with actually putting your own ideas down so that you’re not just a consumer.

But for me, actively and continuously reading and engaging with books—even books not directly tied to my project—is essential to the process.
