[Wide World of Sports @wwos]

What do you do when Jim Courier goes missing from the panel? 🤨

Bring on Val the stats man LIVE on air! 🤣🤣

#AusOpen - Live on Channel 9 and 9Now

[Val Febbo @VFebbo96]

26 five-set matches already at #RolandGarros

Most ever is 37 at Wimbledon 2024.

AO 2024 and US Open 1983 next on 35.

We’re still not even through the third round in Paris!

[Richmond Tiger Talk @Richmond_TT]

There is sufficient evidence the AFL should offer a public apology to Tom Lynch, the Richmond club and fan base for 2022

[Val Febbo @VFebbo96]

Outgoing NRL CEO Andrew Abdo announced as the new Tennis Australia CEO.

Australian Open Tournament Director piece will be fascinating

How dire Richmond’s injury toll is, Tom Lynch lining up at full back against Tom de Koning #AFLSaintsTigers

Stand rule HAS to go #AFLPiesHawks

[Matthew Richardson @mattricho0]

Original stand rule was bad. Coaches find ways to counter it. AFL add layers to stand rule to counter coaches. Here we are. Players and umpires confused. Ridiculous 50's sucking life out of games.

It’s a privilege to say I’ll be commentating my third World Cup. Excited to see how the Socceroos go and to hopefully bring you many fantastic football moments on the radio. #FIFAWorldCup ⚽️

[Val Febbo @VFebbo96]

@pooley57 Noble 14.47% win record. Above Yze.

[Val Febbo @VFebbo96]

Mark Neeld win record at Dees - 15.15%
Adem Yze win record at Tigers - 13.4%

😳😳

[Val Febbo @VFebbo96]

@JordanKounelis @ThommoMedia @Sammy__Edmund 😂😂😂😂😂

[Val Febbo @VFebbo96]

Comparing Richmond rebuilds:

Under Hardwick (had 987 games experience in his fourth game as coach) - won his 8th game in his 28th as coach.

Under Yze - Game 50 next week, 7 wins. Minimum games experience has been 1,452.

Cause for concern?

[VFL / VFLW @VFL]

Hebron from 50!

[Val Febbo @VFebbo96]

Glaring stat from a Richmond point of view…

Tigers win percentage in games decided by 5 points or less since 2020 - 18.2% - ranked 18th in #AFL

Since 2010 - 24.4% - ranked 18th by a country mile

[Swish 🍒 Tennis @Zwxsh]

How is it even possible to win rallies against this guy when he's hitting the ball like this? Terrifying

[Val Febbo @VFebbo96]

As a millennial, I grew up where Friday nights were on Channel 9 before 7 got the rights back. Dennis Cometti featured on all of them.

He was THE voice for me growing up and one of the reasons why I’ve always wanted to become a broadcaster.

The world has lost a legend. RIP 😢

[Triple M Footy @triplemfooty]

Truly centimetre perfect.

We'll miss you Dennis 💔

[Paula Badosa @paulabadosa]

You have no idea what it’s like to live with a chronic injury and still choose to keep going. To wake up everyday not knowing how your body will respond, searching for solutions, and fighting for something you love and give everything even when it’s so difficult. Trust me I’m the first one suffering with pain and having endless nightmares to try to find solutions every single day and for me after all stepping on a tennis court, makes worth everything every time. So I’ll keep trying. Because it’s all about trying and that won’t change. I’ll always try one more time.

I’m doing this for my passion and for myself. And if there’s even a 1% chance to keep going, I’ll take it. That’s just how I see and understand life.

If you don’t like it, you don’t have to follow me.
And I’m so sorry to inform you I won’t retire so you’ll keep seeing me for a while. Change channel next time.

[Val Febbo @VFebbo96]

If this weekend doesn’t show you again why #DavisCup, and #BJKCup for that matter, needs to go back to the home and away format then I don’t know what does.

Atmospheres, narratives, national pride. It’s magical.

[Greg Sharko @SharkoTennis]

It was a privilege to witness the historical achievement of ⁦@carlosalcaraz⁩, who became the youngest man to win the Career Grand Slam in tennis history. #Alcaraz, at 22 yrs, 272 days, is also the youngest man to win 7 majors. He’s won 7 of last 14 Grand Slam tournaments.
