Underrespected is that 2016 run by Murray to get to World No. 1. Not sure how many of y’all were fans back then but he was unequivocally the best player in the world at that point - and it ultimately cost him his body.

Funny moment w/ Sakkari and the ump. Tells her that Begu's coach is telling her where to serve every time (which is allowed by the new coaching rules). Ump with the counterpoint: If you can hear where the serve is going then that helps you too. Sakkari agrees and laughs. 😂

One of my biggest tennis commentator pet peeves is when they focus on all the reasons the players are losing points rather the reason they’re winning them - especially in women’s matches. It’s a subtle but grating way of making the whole match feel negative.

Also all credit to No. 1 Barty for not playing for an entire year, having her No. 1 questioned, ultimately not caring about the No. 1, and then coming back and playing like No. 1. Sounds like a proper No. 1.
