No apologies necessary at all. I was a stranger who barged into a conversation, plus tech gives everything a sense of faux-urgency. I appreciate you reading and responding. (And remembering! That's very human of you) Glad it resonated.

That @brianphillips.bsky.social guy once called @girinathan.bsky.social "the best tennis writer in America" and his four paragraphs here on the Roland-Garros final prove the point. Reading them made me want to watch the entire 5 hours and 29 minute match all over again!

And then got subtly yet savagely roasted for it by his opponent in an after-interview match. Like I can only DREAM of doing a version of this to someone one day.
