Novak Djokovic only follows 771 people on Twitter. One of them is Claudia Tenney.
Tenney voted against same-sex marriage protection. Votes against gun control. And, is an anti-"CRT" history revisionist.

On the "Iga's crying" debate... make up y'alls minds. Do you want women to show emotion or not? Iga cries, people get mad. Rybakina doesn't cry, people get mad. Just let people feel how they feel and show it how they show it. Caring so much about it is weird.

Lost a lot of respect for Bouzkova and SST.
All for the consistent application of the rules. (Jenson and Kyrgios got away with it, Novak and Kato didn't. Different situations. But make a rule and enforce it.) But, to leverage a child's tears to get a default win is... not great.

Save your hot takes about "wasted wildcards", Venus Williams still draws more fans than some current top 10 players on either tour.
If you can't see why tennis owes her a reserved seat at any table she wants to sit, at least see the financial benefits of having her there.
