@chiadegli All'ultimo conteggio, i terzi incomodi non sono due bensì (almeno) una decina 🙄. Tuttavia, sono moderatamente sicuro che per essere considerati “terzi” sia necessario avere due più forti che giocano: Sinner e...?

Ecco il video comunicato sindacale che la Rai non ha voluto mandare in onda:

Avevamo chiesto di trasmetterlo per porre l'attenzione sullo smantellamento di RaiTre.

Vi chiediamo di condividere il video per raggiungere più persone possibili perché RaiTre non muoia.

@jon_wertheim @Wimbledon Wimbledon generates its own revenues. The players are “the players” primarily because of the GS. And thanks for leaving the LTA room not to shut down British tennis. The best part is, the protest consists in limiting their media obligations, i.e. something they don't like to do.

@ATPChallenger @copafbvalencia @bernabezapata1 @RFETenis Sasha Bublik: “ When I step on the court and you have Zapata Miralles shouting to your face, this is what I hate. Come on, guys, what we're playing for here. Check the factsheet... Actually I never played Zapata, just mentioning the players, you know, that fighting.”

@Luc177592013994 @thefinalSTRAW @TheTennisLetter The umpire gave him a warning in the first set (racquet abuse) and a point penalty (ball abuse) in the second. When he got the PP, Boyer said he didn't hear the warning – neither did I...

Two @atptour rule changes to watch:
a) video review of hindrance *after the point* (a la Medvedev/Draper) ... (in effect no longer trialed)

b) Video review challenges are unlimited *but* chair "will retain control over the process" and has discretion to deny unreasonable requests.

[Michelangelo Sottili @Michelangelo451]

@108InThe5th @josemorgado It works like that, actually. The player is allowed to ask for the review after the point is over (absurd rule, but still), so there's no need for the umpire to call it.

@AnnaK_4ever This is so, um, confusing that on the Telegraph Simon Briggs writes “The latest incident appears to have been a different case”.

[Michelangelo Sottili @Michelangelo451]

@jon_wertheim @atptour “After the point” violates a basic principle of the tennis rules: a player shall not have two opportunities to win a point.

@AnnaK_4ever I think appointing Tiley means the USTA is leaning toward an agreement with the PTPA. If not, I'm like “Sorry, am I getting it right?”, too.

Emilio Nava served an ace vs Matteo Berrettini. Or did he?

@AustralianOpen The Wizard of Oz defeats J. Garland 🙂

[Michelangelo Sottili @Michelangelo451]

@AnnaK_4ever Yep, I forgot the 50 pts... 😬

@GregRusedski1 @TennisONEApp @NickKyrgios Did you actually say “read the judgement and understand the case” to... Mr. Kyrgios? Your sense of humour is even bigger than your patience.

@tennis_insights @atptour Jaume Munar → JMe and Jakub Mensik → JMu: maybe the opposite?
