@pmc3_83 In his defense, he only has so much time to think it all through once he takes off running for the ball, whereas you had infinite time to consider the fact that a newscaster criticizing a HS kid on twitter for a play like this is tacky. Luckily your tweet is still deleteable.

@josemorgado Lots of love and respect for Elise Mertens, but I'm not sure "pretty impressive" and "incredible" should be used interchangeably like this.

@Danidilo2 The same Angelique Kerber who has a 9% career winning percentage against Azarenka?

@VeeSTARWilliams Incredible display of lack of athleticism here from Lucie Hradecka

@christianscourt Honorable mention to Sofia Kenin for winning 1 of the 3 Slams in 2020, then losing 0&0 to Azarenka in Rome, and then making the final at the French immediately after

High school basketball teams just don't run through a big piece of paper the way they used to.

Every summer, there's a week when British people will tweet about a heatwave they're experiencing with screenshots of the temperature in celsius. And when I look up the fahrenheit conversion, it's literally what my dad keeps his thermostat at.
