That, plus QB is a position which sometimes ages well; there is plenty of precedent for mid/late 30s QBs performing at an elite level. What Fed (and Serena pre-pregnancy) are accomplishing is truly unprecedented.

Once Serena is back, she'll breeze tournaments again as there just isn't any consistency in the womens game.

DSA: OLD PEOPLE, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE MATCH PLAYING ON ESPN2 RIGHT NOW IS A REPLAY. I REPEAT, YOU ARE WATCHING A REPLAY. YOU MAY NOW RESUME YOUR REPLAY-WATCHING PROGRAMMING. REPLAY.

Although I see him as a bit of a flash in the pan, Tennys sure missed out on cashing in on an everyman's ticket. Sponsors may have been lining up right now for his story (sans altr) but are now more likely running away. I mean, who couldn't see this coming ffs?

Haha... I don't think any national sponsors, even alt-right ones, are going to be lining up for a guy nobody has ever heard of.

He certainly would have gotten some tennis sponsors but I'm sure many of them will just back away at this point.

Very very dumb response on his part. All he had to say was "I got carried away on Twitter during the election. I deleted my tweets, and I'm going to stick with tweeting about Tennis from now on. Like about how fun this Australian Open was and how amazing all the fans were here and back home. I know not everybody agrees with my views on politics, but I want everybody to be a fan of mine and I'll try to earn your support. There are a lot of different views on politics in the locker room here and I always try to keep learning and evolving."

But instead he doubles down and attacks the media, in a way that doesn't seem true, which also angers the same journalists who are going to write the stories about him. And of course in the process turns off any liberal fans, which apparently is the majority of US tennis fans. Really just not a bright response on his part.

Yeah yelling FAKE NEWS and claiming to be the real victim here might be a Trump card, but not a trump card

Most people would have moved on if he just apologized, and he could have gotten a partial reset

Didn't see them myself, but apparently he also had some scorching takes about Serena, which I'm sure were INTERESTING

Serena has apparently demanded some kind of apology from Tennys.

I would like a Woz - SIMONA final to ensure that one of those career slankers finally gets off the schneid. Plus I like watching them. A Woz - Kerber final wouldn't suck though. Mertens advancing does not appear to be a relevant topic.

Also, in future years all matches should take place during the evening EST, when I'm still up and the sun is out. None of these 3AM matches. And if they have a problem with that we should bomb the **** out of them. #MAGA

What did Serena say to Vinci? Just wondering in case Tennazi has a point in this case

Hi, I'll save you the trouble. What Serena said is moot. In the case of white male vs. protected class, white male is never correct regardless of context. If they made a Street Fighter game today based off of identity politics white male would be the ****tiest character ever. The buttons wouldn't work or something.
