Hey @espn there’s two matches in the middle of their 5th sets. Stop showing interviews and round table analysis and SHOW THE DAMN MATCHES!!!

The U.S. Open is so expensive that even Federer is like “we have food at home.”

@GavinDeGraw @usopen @iamjojo Brings back memories of Grand Slam Jam in Austin! Tim Stallard and I remember it all well.

"No pasa nada, hijo. Es que los domingos me siento al lado del teléfono a las siete y media".

Media hora antes. Todos los domingos. Durante años, sin decírmelo nunca.

Yo creía que le llamaba a él. Resulta que llevaba años montando su domingo entero alrededor de esa llamada, mientras yo la encajaba entre mil cosas.

Desde entonces cambié dos detalles. El primero: nunca fallo el domingo, aunque sea cinco minutos desde el coche. El segundo y ell que de verdad importa: le llamo también algún día entre semana cualquiera, sin motivo. Para que el teléfono suene un día en el que no lo estaba esperando y le saque una sonrisa.

La primera vez que lo hice tardó en contestar, y se le notó en la voz.

Si tus padres viven, hoy es domingo... No hace falta que tengas nada que contar. Solo que suene.

@alafpolak1 has countless cycling accomplishments but this stands out as it was a moment that instilled joy in so many during Covid lockdown. Thank you for inspiring so many, on and off the bike. #alaphilippe

Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’

It’s our duty to know.

@travisakers Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass

[Israel Castillo @izcastillo]

@AmyLundyDahl Agreed! She has a ton of charisma, aura, @WilsonTennis is doing a fantastic job with her outfits and her game is speaking loudly.

Jim is one of the sharpest minds in Tennis!

[Tennis Bee @TennisNews0]

Jim Courier’s idea could finally give the WTA and ATP Finals the spotlight they deserve. Game day just got more exciting!

🚨🗣️ José Mourinho on FIFA overturning Folarin Balogun's red card following Donald Trump's intervention:

"Everyone is acting so shocked today. Everyone is crying about politics and Donald Trump making phone calls to Gianni Infantino to change the rules. But why are we surprised? The integrity of this tournament was thrown in the trash in the very first week.

All this started when FIFA let Lionel Messi escape a clear red card for a studs-up challenge. When you decide that the rules do not apply to the poster boy, you open the door for everyone else. If the referee's monitor can be ignored for Argentina's captain to protect the brand, why can't a suspension be ignored for the United States President?

Folarin Balogun gets a red card, Trump makes a call, and suddenly FIFA finds a magic 'Article 27' to let him play against Belgium. It is a circus. We are no longer watching a World Cup, we are watching a political reality show where the rulebook is just a suggestion based on who you are and who is watching."

This may very well be one of the best tennis photographs ever taken.

[Jimmie48 Photography @JJlovesTennis]

Sometimes you just instantly know that something's the photo of the day...maybe the tournament even.

I can't recall ever shooting anything similar to this.

The newest NCAA rules are ruining college tennis. The few schools opening their checkbooks to “buy” a championship with 22- and 23-year-old players who will never graduate will take opportunities from hundreds of 18- and 19-year-old players and stagnate development.

[Israel Castillo @izcastillo]

@CoachMannyDiaz They are using VAR for that for the first time at this World Cup. It happened during the US game. The yellow given to the US player was rescinded and given to the player that flopped
