Thank you to the lovely audience member at @hayfestival who shared that her daughter had once corrected her pronunciation of ‘epiphany’ and told her it should of course be ‘epi-fanny’.
Which word have you royally mispronounced because you’d only ever seen it written down?

Heated Rivalry: 2025 ATP Wrap | The Body Serve
For many, the 2025 ATP season has been about one heated rivalry and, well … not much else. We’re not necessarily here to contradict that narrative. But, there were five first-time Masters 1000 winners...

Random 2025 in review mini rant. I still don’t believe Sinner’s story. Too complicated and too much of it just didn’t check out. Just sayin’.

Completely astonishing from Cobolli. Dude must’ve been totally shattered after the Bergs match. And he picks himself off the floor and goes again and fuckn wins it for Italy.

Spain and Italy making the final without Carlitos and Sinner is pretty rad. And probably for the best. We could have easily ended up with another deciding showdown between the New Two, who already dominate everything as it is. Let some other guys take the spotlight and be the hero. Game on!

Cobolli and Bergs shed blood, sweat, and tears in one of the greatest tie-breaks in living memory. Insane tennis, insane atmosphere, insane everything.

Reflections on yesterday’s final.
Sinner is indisputably the best indoor player in the world. Relentless precision. Amazing.
Carlos also amazed. He’s gone from clearly neither liking nor thriving indoors to being the second best in the world at it. Exponential growth.
Good luck to the rest.

It’s been very hard to imagine anyone beating Carlitos or Sinner at this stage of a tournament for about two years now. Hard to imagine it will be any different today.

Correct me if I’m wrong but Carlos is now guaranteed 11650 points for making the SF and Sinner would end with 11500 points if he won the tournament undefeated.

Perfect match for Carlitos to bed himself in. De Minaur can’t beat him but can run him around plenty. 32 winners. BHDTL on fire. Looking good. 👍🏻🔥

You gotta think that Carlitos will bring everything he’s got to Turin. He’s not as good as Sinner on indoor hard (no one is) but if he’s feeling it he can take out everyone else and secure #1. Methinks it will be a very spicy week.
