In her press conference today, Oleksandra Oliynykova came prepared with receipts. She showed photos of her next #RolandGarros opponent Diana Shnaider having played at a Gazprom exhibition, and screenshots of her social media likes of Russian “propagandists.”

How Jannik Sinner climbed the clay-court mountain

How Jannik Sinner climbed the clay-court mountain

The world No. 1 is seeking his first Roland Garros title this year. It was, at one time, a feat that he may not have thought possible.

this is ghastly washingtonpost.com/world/202…

In northern Ukraine, it was boy vs. Russian drone. The boy won.

A soldier taught a 12-year-old how to disable the fiber-optic drones that Russia has been using to hunt Ukrainian civilians in a campaign the U.N. has labeled a war crime.

Sinner is No. 1, but Alcaraz is the straw that stirs the drink—and that affects the entire tour.

If you saw the handshake at the net after @AlexZverev and @janniksin in Miami you will understand why it is anything but an empty gesture or passe tradition.

Here’s the situation. 🇺🇦Oleksandra Oliynykova is playing in a WTA main draw for the first time in her career - and she’s already into the semifinals. Today, she defeated the world No.33, scoring the highest-ranked win of her career. Now a simple question: how many posts about her can you find on the WTA Instagram page? Zero. Not one. Let’s repeat that: a player in a WTA semifinal. Three wins in a row. Zero posts. Is this normal? Is this support for Ukrainian players - or even good promotion of women’s tennis at all? 🤔

It's easy to forget what a ham @DjokerNole is at heart. He generates a lot of drama. Even when he's projecting stoicism he's doing it in a very showy way.
