@DrunkleSteven @Mimiiben1 Nice if you assume the lines are visually correct - but the 50 angle tells me the opposing outer triangle bases are not parallel, which also puts the apparently straight lines shared between the two triangles under suspicion. Are they in fact straight? We can’t know. Unsolvable

@Djoko_UTD Context is everything. We don’t know whether the crowd were being obnoxious, or if Fritz had done a dirty win, or opponent retired too early. Hold your judgement till you know.

@erin_heremeroar More power to you Elvis … er, Erin! 😴

@simscircuit A very meta kind of question that cannot fail to sound like the engine room of a winner’s mindset 🥇

@PrinceHolger_ @holgerrune2003 Guess Thomas Muster’s feeling chuffed right now 🎾

[Benjamin Lee @rapturefish]

@DaniilMedwed That pirate king outfit is so right somehow - congratulations on your latest title, it’s well deserved and befitting your efforts 🏆 🏴‍☠️

[Benjamin Lee @rapturefish]

@erin_heremeroar Erin, that’s the best news yet! Congratulations 🎉

[Benjamin Lee @rapturefish]

@TheTennisLetter Thanking ‘me’ last is much better than doing it first somehow - we don’t give ourselves enough credit for what we sometimes put up with. Congrats Mirra Andreeva 🏆 🎾

[Benjamin Lee @rapturefish]

@WeAreTennis Medvedev, all is forgiven, Happy Valentines 💘 🎾

@josemorgado An area Hawkeye doesn’t cover and open to human error, just like similar points eg Shelton vs Sonego QF, Felix vs Draper at Cincinatti final. Needs a challenge system here and also AO net cords.

[Benjamin Lee @rapturefish]

@eurosport Watched the whole thing. Shocked that a ‘mere’ teen learner could out-Medvedev Medvedev, but the kid really brought it, even coming back mentally from a crushed match point, and stamina in 5th set to boot. A serial junior winner who has a great present & future.

@slomo_delpo @TennisPodcast If you watched the incident in context, no it was nothing that dramatic or ballistic. She believed it was out, all she could do was say that much, she never tried to overturn the call, couldn’t anyway. But does highlight Hawkeye not 100% tech, it predicts paths and is not video

@josemorgado Head to head:
vs Garcia 2-2 (last match: 2024, Garcia)
vs Muchova 1-2 (last match: 2024, Muchova)
vs Bencic 2-3 (last match: 2022, Osaka)
vs Ostapenko 2-0 (last match: 2024, Osaka)
vs Gauff 2-3 (last match: 2024, Gauff win)

@TheTennisLetter Perception speaks louder than reality these days. Even if the process with Sinner is fair and by the book, lengthy testing time processes and nuance is lost in the face of social media and disinformation. They must back these tests with transparency and stronger messaging

[Puneet @IamPuneetX]

Nick Kyrgios so on the money here with his opinions about Sinner’s two failed doping tests. “If he didn’t do anything wrong, why did they take his points and prize money away? I won’t shut up about it. Taking performance enhancing drugs is ridiculous”

[Benjamin Lee @rapturefish]

@igababygoat @NickKyrgios Care to summarise? Hit the paywall

[Benjamin Lee @rapturefish]

@rats7 If you think about it, what’s the only possible liquid thing that could be in there? Has to be battery acid. Your battery’s exploded. Wash your hands thoroughly and get it rescued 🪫

@erin_heremeroar @softskull Someone mentioned this author to me recently, sounds good 👍🏼
