@jon_wertheim It's a Netflix movie writing itself.

Professional tennis, in a nutshell. Every player is an underfunded army of 1.

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Maja Chwalinska has changed her life at this year’s Roland Garros.

Her total career earnings before Roland Garros:

$864,030.

What she’s earned at this tournament:

$1,624,000.

Because the players don’t get the money til after the tournament, she was worried she wouldn’t be able to cover her costs for a hotel as she went further and further in the draw.

Polish company OSHEE had to step in and pay for the rest of her hotel fees.

It’s nothing short of heartwarming to see this happening to such a humble person who has overcome her share of struggles.

She overcame a battle with depression and stopped playing tennis entirely for a period to take care of her mental health.

She wasn’t sure if she’d ever come back to this sport.

Absolutely unreal story. 🥹

Six months ago on @BreakingBackPod, Norm called it — Serena comes back and plays Wimbledon doubles with Venus. 🎾👑

This week? She's got a wildcard at Queen's Club with Wimbledon written all over it. 🌿

The prediction market is open. We already bet. 😤

After losing his father last year, Zach Svajda advanced to the fourth round in his Roland-Garros debut.

It's his dad's birthday today ❤️

@JohnIsner @GuntherEagleman Shoot, ready, aim — ask questions later. Everyone wants to be first instead of accurate.

In other news, if you ever need road-side assistance in NY, I strongly urge you NOT to call @AAA and instead reach out directly to Pedro and the crew at 54th Street Auto center. They fielded my call, sent a wrecker out and let me go to the airport in < 45 minutes. Amazing service.

[norm archer @normarcher]

@AAA_Travel you could cut your entire CSR staff and replace them with @claudeai. Their workflow is pretty simple.

They can:

1) field a call
2) locate a vehicle
3) dispatch a tow truck
4) keep me updated

Something the 5 people I've spoke to over the last 3 hours are incapable of.

You're welcome!

@delta I had a little extra time on my hands so Claude and I mapped out the highly inefficient customer UX delivered by your staff here at LGA.

Refine. Rinse. Repeat.

@MichalSamulski @AmyLundyDahl Let's start by removing the tarp from behind the already truncated backcourt.

@AlGruskin Jodar, Kuame, Tien... the Nadal scenario

[norm archer @normarcher]

@EricCressey FWIW....Sinner is 0-9 in matches over 3h50 minutes.

[norm archer @normarcher]

@WillBoucek @MikeFrank152027 I've always thought a reality show based on USTA league tennis would kill it. So much insanity and drama.

[norm archer @normarcher]

@darrenrovell Some dude put w 30$ bet on Cerundolo when Sinner was up 5-1 made 30K

[norm archer @normarcher]

@darrenrovell Did you watch? He couldn't move. Was playing like it was a walk through... serving like 40 mph

[norm archer @normarcher]

@jjgrace1969 It was a military vehicle turnover

[norm archer @normarcher]

@TennisPublisher It's interesting how consistently this happens. 0-9 over 3h50 min and the heat obviously does not agree with him.

[bart @soxbart]

Just this week:

Rafael Devers - 5 homeruns, 16 RBIs
Dustin May - 10 inning no-hitter
Kyle Harrison - 2nd 17k game this year
Vaughn Grissom - Go ahead GS

It’s Wednesday.

Banger of a session with the lads n lady, drilling down on digits of all sorts that impact tennis. Slams shorting player coffers, college football bullying tennis for milk money, Ginger v the field…Who’s got it right, who’s got it wrong? WANTED: Your thoughts. Holler! @BreakingBack_ @normarcher
