The Clutch Kings 🇯🇵👑

Japan's victory over Canada, they extend their mind-blowing undefeated streak to 10-0. But the real story is in how these teams handle the ultimate pressure of a 5th set.

Japan has won 6 five-set thrillers. Even more insane? 5 of those were consecutive five-set wins! When games go the distance, Japan’s stamina, defensive scramble, and ice-cold transition plays make them look unbeatable. 🔥

Lot of Zverev discourse today.

As someone who stands strongly in the anti-Zverev camp, I’d like to better articulate my thoughts.

1) Alexander Zverev is very likely a domestic abuser. The odds are, in my opinion, at least 80% (2 women, timelines/stories corroborated by others, reported photos/messages, etc).

2) There is a non-zero chance the allegations are false/made up. No charge against him has ever been proven, and the ATP’s investigation couldn’t substantiate the claims.

3) Given 2), it is not possible/fair for him to be removed from the tour.

4) This situation is objectively horrible for tennis, and there is no easy way to deal with it; taking action isn’t feasible but not taking action means lots of people will be, justifiably, furious.

5) Stuff like this is worse for tennis vs team sports because bad actors can more easily be hidden if there are 10 others on the field; in tennis there’s only one.

6) All of this is complicated further by the fact that Zverev is really good, and seemingly destined to be a fixture at the top of the game for years to come (despite being a lifelong underachiever). Also because there are parts of his story––diabetes, injury recovery, constantly coming so close and finally crossing the line––that are very inspirational.

If I knew there was an 80% chance someone punched and strangled their girlfriend, I wouldn’t send them to jail, because that is not beyond a reasonable doubt.

I would not, however, want them to be the face of a sport, or see them idolized and held up as examples for young people and fans.

For all those saying there wasn’t enough proof to convict and therefore the sport shouldn’t address it, or that we should separate one’s actions on and off the court: sure, but that strategy is bad for the long-term health of this sport. I’ve spoken to ~a dozen people this week (men and women, mostly women) who aren’t big tennis fans but are aware of the allegations and either stopped watching or expressed displeasure towards the tour because of them.

I love tennis, and want to be able to enjoy it knowing that, even if my guy loses, the other guy kinda deserves it—or at least that I don’t *actually* hate him. As a big Alcaraz fan, it stinks when Sinner beats him, but it doesn’t ruin me: Sinner is a decent guy, a good role model.

Zverev very likely isn't, and it sucks that someone who is almost certainly a horrible person has now cemented himself in tennis history.

In summary: Alexander Zverev won a grand slam, and everything is worse now.

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Zverev says he will always be a Grand Slam Champion and no one can take that away from him, ‘If I would’ve lost this one, the self belief would’ve gone down a lot. But now that I’ve won it, I feel like I can do it again’

“Now no matter what happens, I will always be a Grand Slam Champion. Nobody can take that away from me. Maybe that does give me some freedom. Maybe my mind will just be a little bit calmer when I play a final. Meaning that even if I lose it, I’ll still be a grand slam champion. This trophy for me is very important. If I would’ve lost this one, the self belief would’ve gone down a lot. But now that I’ve won it, I feel like I can do it again.”

Flavio Cobolli to Zverev after losing to him in Roland Garros final

“It’s not easy for me to talk right now but I wanna start with you Alex. If someone asked me who deserved more this title, I always said you.” ❤️

“It’s been an honor for our relationship to share the court with you today. I’m happy for you. I’m also sad because I was close and I feel it. 💔 now that you achieved your dream, let me win the next time.” 😂

12 SENATORS ENOUGH TO CREATE QUORUM - SC RULING

The new Senate majority bloc on Wednesday cited the Supreme Court’s ruling on Avelino v. Cuenco as their legal basis for the leadership revamp in the chamber.

The case involves 12 senators who held a quorum after then Senate President Jose Avelino and nine of his allies walked out of the session and replaced him with Sen. Mariano Jesus Cuenco.

SOLID BLOC 11: ALAN PETER CAYETANO RESIGN!

What happened today was a clear abandonment of responsibility, a dereliction of duty, and a blatant disregard of the rules that govern this institution, because the Senate cannot be made to stop working simply because its presiding officer refuses to lead.

Under Rule XIV, Sec. 41 of the Rules of the Senate, the Senate President may postpone the holding of the session AFTER consultation with the Majority Leader AND the Minority Leader. That rule was violated. This is not merely a procedural lapse—it is a direct violation of the Rules of the Senate and a serious disrespect for the institution and the Filipino people.

Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano SHOULD RESIGN as he has shown that he cannot function as the leader of the Senate.
