Can we agree ? If you are a player under age 45 hoping for a @usopen main draw women’s wild card, your odds just went down a bit….
A wildcard with a world-class pedigree 💪 We’re so pumped to watch Venus Williams make her singles comeback tomorrow night in D.C. 👑🎾 For more top headlines, be sure to check out our next episode of Served, dropping TOMORROW!
A) Long as you brought it up, what a formidable streak. It’s not just 20 straight games for Iga; it’s 20 straight *coming at the business end of @Wimbledon -8 in SF, 12 in final. B) Graf’s previous set before serving her double-bagel in 1988 @rolandgarros final? A 7-6 squeaker…

Venus Williams - rolling back the clock to lycos.com patch days - wins her first match @mubadalacitidc , more than 700 days since her last singles win. We all overuse this term but: legend.
If Venus keeps this up, Stan Wawrinka, 40, is going to be the second-oldest singles winner this week. By five years ….

I too have decided it is advisable to skip the Toronto Open this year.

I asked Novak #Djokovic why so many tennis players feel burnt out or turn to antidepressants: 1️⃣ “The first thing that comes to mind is that social media is extremely present and largely dictates the mood and daily rhythm of an athlete — especially young ones, but older ones…
