Italy winning BJK Cup is its own kind of throwback … but man, I really wanted to see the doubles of that one.

Yeah Iga has been steadily building all year — the throwback part is really more the doubles, curious to see if it lasts!

Iga and Krejcikova/Siniakova tournament wins feels like a nostalgic throwback

Conceits like this are some of my favorite PCHH episodes. Also really enjoyed the 15th anniversary time capsule.

Team USA came up short, but American Rajeev Ram was arguably the biggest winner this weekend in Delray 🇺🇸

I wrote about why this was such a huge win for Rajeev (and doubles) given his surprisingly complicated Davis Cup journey these last few years.

I worry that if it finally happens it won’t live up to, say, Aryna-Elena at AO
But look, we’d rather find that out than not have it at all (and anyway, given their prior matches it’s unlikely to not be good)

“Are you gonna join the PTPA?” 😂

Great wrap show! Was wondering the same thing re: commensurate increase in prize money per round when they handed Aryna that check, interesting to hear the actual numbers. Wonder how that (non PTPA) players’ lawsuit against the majors played into it …

So sorry this took so long!

NEW: "The Corporate Sleaze"

The USO is over and we're left with a lingering ick about that orange guy and how the USTA handled it. Of course, we also talk Carlos and Aryna's big wins, commentating outside the lines, and actually protecting women in sport

The Corporate Sleaze | The Body Serve

Thanks for your patience as we finished up our US Open wrap! One of our birthdays coincided with Rolex inviting a certain president to the tournament, and we conscientiously objected. Aryna Sabalenka ...

That line from Amanda was gut wrenching; she really seemed more devastated by this final than Wimbledon. Hopefully more time will put in better perspective.

This must be a result of that lawsuit from earlier this year? Maybe not, but last year was 3.6?

✅Iga Swiatek (Wimbledon)
✅Aryna Sabalenka (US Open)

the WTA top 3 all hold grand slam titles this year

I don’t want to hear anything about how the WTA has no consistency, these women each hold multiple slam titles in a very competitive tour!

& the best is yet to come🫶🏻

Poor Amanda’s devastated.

But, jeezus, what a year it’s been!

Going from the hard moment in her last major only to come back and make another major final instead of shrinking.

That’s so courageous. ❤️🎾
