Novak has played two sets in six days *both of which he's lost* and still finds himself in the semis
If he wins this tournament, it'll be the Covid Dodgers World Series championship of tennis (the irony)

To all fans that never stop moaning about sports commentators:
Do you realize that we watch more <insert sport> than the broadcasters? Shocking, right? Not really. I know that I watch more tennis than Chrissie & Johnnie Mac. They're busy with many other commitments while I'm watching a 250 from Iași

The anti sPoRtSbaLL people in the replies did NOT disappoint
We have an incredible community of sports writers who have helped Bluesky become a meaningful place for discussing live events and news. Ahead of today's playoffs, we're sharing the below starter pack as just a sampling of names that have brought us expert coverage throughout the year.

A: apple pie w cheese is delicious
B: you don't get to where Jess has gotten because your folks are loaded. The bs directed at her is gross. Her dad isn't a tennis player. All the top players regardless of their background have had access to coaching, agents and sponsors. *Talent* attracts them!

For the love of Jeebus, I am begging KDKA and WPGH to stop the scroll of closed churches and schools for the conference championship games today.
No one uses linear TV for this information anymore. And the scroll hasn't updated since 4am...BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THE NEARBY WORLD IS CLOSED FOR A WHILE

The anti-sportball mob is out today. Funny how they never have any criticism of people continuing to post about movies, tv shows, vidya games, music, anime and all the approved nerd culture pastimes during periods of abject crisis and conflict

Say what you will about Nick Kyrgios, none of which will be new or profound, but the man moves the needle in a sport that often needs its needle moved
People justify Venus wildcards with "she sells tickets" which is between arguable & absurd
But make no mistake, NK puts butts in seats, esp. in Oz

100% certain that the OP & all their respondents are 100% anti-profiling of any kind
And yet...
This is why they bring the hate. You've probably never been there or interacted with them yet you know everything because a camera person panned for a three second shot
Way to go, laugh it up

I’m sorry, but every Ole Miss fan in the stands looks like someone I would viscerally hate. I’m sure they have some nice fans somewhere, but every shot of their fans looks like a country club threw up.

Because it involves player props, not full-scale match fixing like in some cricket scandals. There needs to be nuance in the gambling-has- ruined-sports-crusade, which is on the verge of being as annoying as the commercials. Props should be limited to the SB like before. Side & total betting are ok
Sports media is failing fans.
Two months ago, the NBA and MLB had players and coaches indicted by the federal government for placing bets on games. In previous eras, this would be a crisis.
Now? Crickets.

Definitely a choice by the #UnitedCup media team🎾to omit a headshot of world #18 women's singles player, and Canadian Open champion, Victoria Mboko; whilst including one for her mixed partner, world #89 men's doubles player Cleeve Harper
