MERCI DAVID! 🖤💛♥️
The fights. The passing shots. The emotions. The unforgettable Davis Cup moments. 🇧🇪
David, you gave us some of the most memorable moments in Belgian tennis history. Two Davis Cup finals, incredible battles and so many important points for Belgium. ❤️🇧🇪
Some of you don’t realize the simultaneous criticism of Sabalenka’s outspoken behavior while comparing & praising Rybakina’s demure behavior as the only “proper” and “acceptable” way for how women should act is rooted in MISOGYNY.
Yeah so there's nothing wrong with women who like dressing up or being flashy. Let's not use Rybakina to pull down others or pit women against each other. Thank you.
WHAT A MOMENT 🎾🏳️🌈❤️
During the Tulln Challenger trophy ceremony, Mika Brunold thanks Joao Lucas Reis da Silva for inspiring him to come out and says they can help people struggling with their sexuality.
Never thought I’d see the day!
Elena Rybakina came to the U.S. Open off of a bad foot injury, but it turned into one of the greatest Grand Slam title runs of all-time.
She missed the entire first week of practice, but believed she could recover, focus, and play her way into this tournament…
Think about how hard that is.
On top of that, she had to beat:
4-time Grand Slam Champion Naomi Osaka.
Olympic Gold Medalist Qinwen Zheng.
2-time Grand Slam champion Coco Gauff.
4-time Grand Slam Champion and the reigning world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
She won her last 3 matches of the tournament in 3 sets.
On top of that, she leaves as the World No. 1.
She does not let the world know her feelings on the court. She doesn’t scream when she’s pumped up. She doesn’t lose control when she misses a sitter. She keeps an icy fortress of composure and focus around her, no matter the moment.
Because of that, not everyone knew the strength, guts, and fire she possesses inside.
But instead of telling us, she’s showing us who she is.
An icy mindset, a heart made of fire, and above all… one of the truest champions the game has seen.
🇰🇿🩵🇰🇿
Elena Rybakina's US Open title run is one of the most impressive I've ever seen.
Osaka. Zheng. Gauff. Sabalenka.
She beat three Grand Slam champions and an Olympic gold medalist.
The most deserving US Open champion and the new world #1. 🙌🏻
