Muchova is a demonstrably better player than anyone on the WTA. And yet…yeah. One of the greatest mysteries of the universe. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Enjoying your ‘December Mugs’ series.

Yosemite. My American wife fell off her chair when I first said it. The laughter continues.

At least she’s not playing the St Petersburg invitational.

Yet.

Straight dude take. Karolina Muchova has a hell of a walk. That’s all I’m saying.

The dude is incapable of animosity or enmity. He quite literally has a fluffy soul.

Yes, it would not be fair for an ATP player to play a WTA player. We know this. So why is she doing exactly that in the optics shitfest that is the so-called ‘Battle of the Sexes’. Make it make sense.

Marquee, 1980. Lemmy was at the bar. Offered to buy him a drink. He declined but said Phil could use a pint of milk. I raised a teenage eyebrow. He explained. Phil was on so much speed (‘Black Bombers’, I believe) that only milk could calm his stomach. Rock ‘n’ roll. 😂🤘🏻

I once bought ‘Fhilthy Animal’ a pint of milk. In a glass. Long story. 😂👍🏻

Expedition 33 will win it all and I will be happy.

Match? They were literally playing tweener tomfoolery for a very entertained crowd. Winning wasn’t the goal.

Talking of…shouldn’t anyone playing the St. Petersburg event be banned from the tour? I suppose it’s possible that they’re being forced to play under duress but, man, the whole thing’s rotten to the core :(

Great ep. I believe the Sincaraz dominance is even more serious. While some other players won important titles, only ONE of those titles was won when both Alcaraz and Sinner were playing. In an entire year. Yikes.

“ethnic assimilation framework”. Extraordinary how each and every one of these fuckers since the dawn of time have a racial/ethnic agenda at the core of the plan. Tribal scapegoating seems a species level defect. And along with the climate disaster the greatest problem we have to surmount.

Absolutely and in every way one of the games of the decade. I think that’s what he means.
