Have any of you hit a tennis ball through the fence? I've gotten them in the fence, but never through.

Typical chain link fence you'd most likely find on public courts.

Oh yes, plenty of times then...but it wasn't a very good fence probably...on a couple of occasions my serve has brought the net down..again, maybe because it wasn't fixed all that well...

Fences here in Colombia are basically "Federal Prison quality" fences.
No, can't hit a ball through a fence. Couldn't hit a cannon ball through a fence here. ;)

Okay. So I'm watching Alex's match against Dimitrov. I see the shorts. Honestly, I don't think I would have noticed them if they hadn't been mentioned here. The picture is really unflattering. When I saw them live, my only reaction was that it made Alex's legs look even thinner.

This is a new frontier in the short-shorts war, and I never thought Alex de Minaur would fire the first shot.
Going by just this picture.. It's like he grabbed some clothing from Katie's side of the wardrobe...

Interesting that the two best players in the world have never met in the finals of a grand slam ..Swiatek/Sabalenka, Sinner/Alcaraz...doesn't happen normally ..

Sinner/Alcaraz has just started. Let's give them some time.
And remember, things like this happen. Connors/Mac never met at a USO final. Edberg/Becker only met at W finals.
