Alexander Bublik on Sinner, who beat him 616161: “He’s like an AI generated player. But we’re all trying to find a way to get the hand to get closer to beating him.”
Sinner was asked what kids can learn from his rivalry with Carlos Alcaraz: “I think we have a good friendship off the court. We see that this is possible, you know. It’s not like you have to be enemies also off the court. One thing is to be a good tennis player, the other one is to be a good person. Two different things. I think we have both a little bit.”
Four Czech players have reached the US Open QF – Krejcikova, Lehecka, Vondrousova, Muchova.
A very confident Novak Djokovic issued a warning after beating Struff in three sets: “To my rivals listening and watching this interview, I’m good, man, I am as young as ever, as strong as ever.”
Naomi Osaka praised her lil sister Coco Gauff after beating her 63 62: “I look up to her. The way she conducts herself is really special. To be such an amazing role model at such a young age, it’s a gift.. I have all the respect in the world for her…”
Osaka says she had a revelation in Montreal: “I played a match in Montreal where I had to save two match points. Ever since then I started thinking anything’s possible. You just have to try your best and have a smile on your face.”
Ben Stiller invited Novak Djokovic to play a role in his next film.
Daniil Medvedev is changing his entire team.
WTA no. 57 Sorana Cirstea lost in the second round in singles (to Karolina Muchova) and first round in doubles (with Anna Kalinskaya to Americans Peyton Stearns and McCartney Kessler) but she lost a lot more than that. Winner of the 2025 Cleveland WTA tournament the week before US Open – which was her third WTA singles title – Sorana had the misfortune of having the Cleveland trophy snatched from her Manhattan hotel room at the The Fifty Sonesta Hotel while she was playing in Flushing Meadows. Cirstea requested the thief – most likely hotel staff – to return her property on Instagram: “Whoever stole my Cleveland trophy from room 314 at The Fifty Sonesta please give it back. It has no material value, just sentimental value. It would be appreciated!” The 35 year old veteran from Romania defeated Ann Li 62 64 in the final at the Tennis In The Land hard court event.
Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez have reached the women’s doubles QF.

Meddie seemed pretty close to his French coach but he’s tried everything else, I guess. Who could possibly handle coaching the mercurial Russian…hmmmm

Steve, I think Med is burnt out. The fire and hunger are gone, he did it all already. He had his time in the sun.

Daniil Medvedev is changing his entire team.
While he’s at it, is he changing his diaper too??? 🍼 😏
Scoop Malinowski · September 10, 2025 at 8:21 am
This week Medvedev practiced in Monte Carlo with Tsitsipas, would have loved to have bugged those conversations.
Sam · September 18, 2025 at 2:33 am
Oh, did those two practice whining together? Well, that must’ve been a spectacular show they put on!!! 🤣
Scoop Malinowski · September 18, 2025 at 8:07 am
Tsitispas is a broken player now, his philosophy tweets are embarrassing, basically taking cliches and re-wording them. He needs to marry Osaka )
Sam · September 27, 2025 at 1:18 am
Well, if he did marry Osaka, do you think they’d try to fake a baby too? 🤭
Scoop Malinowski · September 27, 2025 at 8:27 am
Sam I think Tsitsipas had his chance with Osaka but didn’t take it. But she probably has a permanent greenlight for him )
