I wrote about Andy Murray. "He asks us to accept this week as his finish but gives us a win that ultimately must break our hearts because it really will be one of his last. One more memory to miss him with. He’s such a beautiful idiot." popcorntennis.com/2024/07/29/and…
As someone who absolutely fucking loves it when two players obviously hate each other, I will admit this warms my cold dead bitter heart a great deal.

Fokina about De Minaur: "He was chasing every fucking ball." 💀
Watching Foki waiting and waiting and waiting for that defensive lob to land out, only for it to ultimately land in, you just knew straight away that he wouldn't win the match from there. 🥲
Merci Patrick ❤️ it was such a great experience learning from you. Wishing you nothing but the best. You are one of the coolest people l've ever met and I'm sure I'll see you around 🙏🏾
I really like that Osaka has parted ways with Mouratoglou. It obviously wasn't working for her and I hope it means that she's willing to go look elsewhere to try and find some consistency again.
I'm not gonna' lie, I do really feel like the ATP could do with one of those ridiculously overdramatic 3 hour back-and-forth second round Andy Murray matches right about now. One of those ones that made you forget that neither player involved was winning the tournament. 🥲
Emma Raducanu has become that "plan my days around being able to watch their matches" sort of player for me.

I often hate myself for frequently forgetting that Medvedev isn't a serious tennis player.
Raducanu's story just makes it so easy to get right back on the hype train whenever she strings a few wins together because, like, who the fuck knows when she might make it all work again but I know I want to be there to see it happen when it does!
The absolute zero reaction from Raducanu when winning that match... yeah, she's taking this title. 🥶
It is 1am and here I am, watching Venus Williams play tennis again.
Raducanu playing her way into form ahead of the US Open has me feeling like it's 2021... 👀
