On Monday, the 30 for 30 I directed on Michael Chang will air at 7 PM EST and then be immediately available on streaming. So excited for all of you to see it. Here’s a preview about when Arthur Ashe wrote a letter of advice to a young Michael Chang. https://t.co/0C0DdLAOf6

Switzerland doesn't have the fanciest grass courts, but it has the coolest. In the old FC Biel football stadium, a group of grass tennis enthusiasts have created two courts. The project is in its 8th season. And the best thing: anyone can play here. Off to ⁦@Wimbledon⁩ soon

Oh @Nandi_Bushell , you brought a tear to my eye with this tribute! Tom Sawyer is a difficult song to play drums to and you made it so much fun. Neil would have loved your performance and wonderful smile, as both Geddy and I do! - Alex

@gigicat7_ I mean. Who comes after Djokovic though. Of all time? Not bloody likely 😅

[Ben Lipsett @lipbensett]

@panthaduprince I should probably already know this, but wondering if I get/buy "This Bliss" digitally? I will also plan on buying the vinyl as well.
