Take time out today (especially today) to cheer this victory! It’s a historic triumph since India has beaten a European team, in Europe, for the first time since 1993 India 3 - 1 Switzerland 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽🇮🇳 (Video courtesy @ddsportschannel )

Amanda Anisimova could have let Wimbledon define her. She once took time away from tennis to focus on her mental health. That didn't make her immune to pressure; nobody is. But that made her so resilient. To create another chance so fast? I'm blown away.

Flew to Rhode Island to induct Maria Sharapova into the Tennis Hall of Fame. From fierce rivals to real friends, when she called, I showed up. That’s what women supporting women looks like. Congrats, @MariaSharapova forever a legend.

Two very happy Wimbledon champions – congratulations to @janniksin and @iga_swiatek. Wonderful to see Iga playing her best and heading into the hard court swing with confidence. A strong US Open contender. Their success is a great reminder for all players to keep striving and believing in your own potential – wherever it may take you. 🚀

Today, 20-year-old Alexandra Eala makes her Wimbledon Centre Court debut, her biggest stage to play on yet. So Nike sent her a sampaguita (the national flower of the Philippines) hair tie, along with a note: 'Kung may tinanim, may aanihin' / 'If you plant, you will harvest' 🌸
