@usopen I think if you were around to see it, most people would say Jimmy Connors. He took an obscure country club sport, made it exciting, put it on television, and started making it what it is today.

@TennisPublisher Wimbledon?

@chris_eubanks96 Two great guys who tell it like it is. Chris and Andy are a real treat for tennis fans. Hope there’s a podcast in the future.

@TennisPublisher I bought one. Beautifully inscribed by Bud to my wife and me. I told him I wouldn’t lug this around for anyone else. Good book BTW.

@ianbremmer Read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. They are drinking coffee and eating sandwiches on almost every page.

@SabalenkaA I have been watching this sport for over 50 years and I’ve never seen someone deserve to win a trophy more. The physical and mental strength you showed was amazing. Really well done. Congrats.

@LizBalmaseda Do you know what happened to Taqueria Bonitas in Rosemary Square? It appears to be closed which would be a shame. Are they open somewhere else?

[Ken Schechet @KenSchechet]

@TennisPublisher Hi Randy. Good news. Doc’s in Delray Beach is going to reopen with a historic designation. City council just approved the plan. Not sure of timing and if it’ll be open in time for the tournament but looks like it’s going to happen.

@TheRickWilson There’s a lot of good food in London these days. I’d recommend Rules. It’s the oldest restaurant in London, has an amazing history, and specializes in game. It’s an experience. On Maiden Lane just off the Strand.

@andyroddick @timothypmurphy Mostly true, but it’s a great thing for tennis players approaching 80 who can’t play the way they used to. Keeps you off the couch. I’ve tried it as a fallback and it’s more fun than I thought it would be and very social.

@TennisPublisher You’re doing something wrong. Have a good tennis pro look at your swing.

@TennisPublisher @Bestof5forever And she did it backwards and in high heels. 😉

@TennisPublisher Remember in Delray this year we talked about the Vilas - Orantes semi? How many match points did Orantes save?

[Ken Schechet @KenSchechet]

@Ons_Jabeur Happy Birthday! You’re one of the best things to happen to tennis. Hope to finally see you at the Open. 💕

[Ken Schechet @KenSchechet]

@TennisPublisher I’ve always heard that was Pancho Gonzales.

[Ken Schechet @KenSchechet]

@TennisPublisher I don’t see space between the mark and the line. That’s in.

@JoJoFromJerz I’m in Florida frighteningly close to Mar-a-Lago. It’s high 80’s, low 90’s. Never thought people would come here to cool off in July. 😁

@jimcourier Did we finally find a weakness in the Alcarez game? Returning lefty serves in the add court didn’t look too good today. Never made an adjustment. I’ll bet they are lining up lefty’s for him to practice with.

[Ken Schechet @KenSchechet]

@NickKyrgios You have no idea of the joy you bring to people who get to watch you play. It looks like it’s bringing you joy again also. Never stop.

[Ken Schechet @KenSchechet]

@larrywilmore I love you Larry but no one gives a shit.
