No. 2019, the last time they played there. Rafa's racquet in 2008 did not have the purple stripes, Roger here is wearing UNIQLO, and in 2008 he was with Nike.

I don't know if he is a handsome guy, but his wife certainly is gorgeous.
About the fashion... I will leave it to the experts here.

In August they will celebrate two years of relationship

EXCLUSIVE. GARBIÑE MUGURUZA ANNOUNCES HER WEDDING TO ARTHUR BORGES AND TELLS HER ROMANTIC STORY FOR THE FIRST TIME
"We would like it to be next year, in the summer, near the beach and in Spain, because it is the place that most unites us," says the Spanish-Venezuelan tennis champion, whose fiancé is half Spanish and half Finnish.

That August day, Garbiñe Muguruza went out for a walk and got some fresh air. The hotel where she was staying in New York while participating in the US Open was close to Central Park and what better way to breathe than to walk through the lungs of Manhattan. She needed to clear her mind and distract her mind for a while from the great demand and concentration that high competition entails. So she was bored of being in her room, she put on some jeans , put on her sneakers and perhaps thought of taking some selfies to share with her followers later. And, when she least expected it, while she walked alone immersed in her thoughts, love crossed her path From her. Pure serendipity. from moviemade in Hollywood . A crush as if taken from another era , more than from this era 3.0 of the likes , the matches and the dating apps . From that moment, in the summer of 2021, almost two years have passed. Today, the tennis champion , at a very special moment in her life, after deciding to take a hiatus, announces her wedding to Arthur Borges, that attractive admirer who, passing by and recognizing her, wished her luck on the slopes and to whom she has just gotten engaged

The rest is behind a paywall.

Her gown is quite nice. He looks like he's going to his HS prom. Maybe they wanted to match?

Her dress is giving me retro Cannes vibes. His suit is giving me rented vibes.

Study says Djokovic and Sabalenka are the most hated on social media... Djokovic is easy to understand but what has Sabalenka done to deserve it?

Being a Belarusian woman I would think - being a woman is probably enough for some.

You see, this is where sometimes I find journalism to be lacking. THE MOST HATED. Then you read the article and it says that Novak has a "negative ratio" of 15%
So, they are not "hated"; if you go by that, Novak receives 85% of positive comments. So in reality, you can say they are the "least liked".
But I guess that headline would not trigger clicks.

Exactly - you wouldn't have clicked the article if it said Novak had a negative tweet rate of 15% :) And then we would have missed such gems as "If Novak doesn't have issues he will be a contender for the title at Roland Garros!" What a hot take!

Heck I would have assumed a negative rate of 15% on Twitter would be for the most liked player.

They'll keep going through all the permutations. "Ano" would be a terrible name in Spain, though!

Being Spaniards, I really hope they do not name their next baby ANO. Could be problematic... :shock:
