@damiankust And since Miami she’s won just 7 matches against top 50 players. I’d say her most notable achievement this year is catching soft draws.

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

@ninjaga20 They already tried banning Vukov fully from the tour and it didn’t end Rybakina’s career.

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

@LoEl81 Except she’s not able to play the same as she is against sub-100 “who?” opponents because Rybakina has a huge serve and a huge return.

Against top players, Raducanu isn’t the main character of the match, because top players don’t give her that freedom.

@McIntyreTennis Does have a ranking that could have gotten him into any events on grass? Or does he still have a protected ranking? Or would he have been entirely reliant on wildcards?

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

@SirLazarus555 Tell that to Cordae.

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

@BarclayCard18 On the basis of routining a 30+ year old American journeyman on his worst surface?

Damn, the British hype train really is off the rails these days...

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

@TunedIntoTennis Not really, and I find it odd how many US tennis media types are constantly plugging him as a future top 10er.

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

@TunedIntoTennis I have no objection to the rebrand but the website is still terrible.

The rankings page is unbelievably bad. I cannot believe how useless it is - have to use 3rd party websites to make any meaningful use of the rankings.

@Served_Podcast Re: attitude and respect, it was 100% Monfils he was talking about - fastest player he's faced, #6 or #7 in the world, best body he'd ever seen, hadn't won a lot of titles (at the time Monfils last beat Roddick he had won just 2 titles in 6 years on tour), etc.

@BastienFachan @Sportico Astonishing.

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

@MakeItWayne151 Virginia Wade, AUS 1972 to WIM 1977.

About two months longer a gap than Mary Pierce.

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

It's a day ending in Y and @TennisPodcast has nothing good to say about Casper Ruud.

Unsurprising, since they managed to talk shit about him re: Saudi Arabia when he wasn't even playing the Sick Kings exho.

They just plain don't like the guy.

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

@zdzichudyrma Seems like it's just Spain that has a thing about birthdays.

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

During this year's Roland Garros, @andyroddick said "I consistently underestimate Casper Ruud, as we all do. We all act like he's a visitor to the semis and finals of grand slams."

Ruud's now made his third ATP finals semifinal in three appearances. He's really not a visitor.

[Vansh @vanshv2k]

Gotta love how as a tennis community, we (can’t speak for everyone of course) really do underestimate Casper Ruud every time and we still never learn.

AND let’s be honest…

We will probably most likely do it again the next time we make predictions.

Never change Casper 🤩

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

@gigicat7_ They should use these photos in the It Gets Better campaign.

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

@doublefauIts Am I crazy or does she look like Chris Evert?

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

A week where six tennis players took Saudi blood money, a player who wasn't even there drove so much of the discussion.

Partially because @TennisPodcast never misses a chance to shit on Casper Ruud, but also I assume no journos allowed at Sick Kings Saudi Sportswashing Exho?

[Jonny Bartrand @JBartrand]

@christophclarey Wawrinka, Thiem, Gaudio, Kuerten, Sampras....can't think of the sixth!
