Talk About Tennis 2.0

Yes

blows my mind to think that Andreeva is still eligible to play juniors..! and Jovic, of course, who is about 8 months younger

Both Urszula Radwanska and Karolina Pliskova are entered in a 125K this week

Had no idea Radwanska was even still playing!

I had to get this posted for our fearless leader. Lot's of Sampras love in the comments.

My favorite player of all times. And nobody has ever been able to hit a slam dunk as he did.
I once saw Xavier Mallise do it, and he came close. But it was not the same.
And, as I used to play serve and volley, I was able to hit a few in my life. Of course, I don't know how good my form was, but I was able to smack the ball hard. I once got it out of the court, bounce back from the main building of the club, and land back in the court.
I felt my life was complete that day.

Yes, her ranking is pretty low--close to 500, but it looks like she has been playing pretty steady schedule on the scrub circuit.

Radwanska still playing was definitely a moment for me. As for Pliskova: considering where she's come from, I hope she does well and can finish her career whenever and however she sees fit.

Seeing veterans at a 125 in Prague was fun, outer courts were quiet enough to hear coaches, and one serve-volleyer tried a slam-dunk overhead that took me back to Sampras. I tried it at my club and launched the ball into the parking lot, worth the laugh. For Roland Garros I went last minute and used a resale marketplace with a 100% order guarantee and quick chat support, seller-set prices were a bit above face on the weekend but midweek was cheaper. If you’re hunting French Major Tennis Tickets, that route worked fine for me.

One chair umpire will get hurt one day. Because nobody put a stop to this.
