Looks like we (finally) have LGBTQ+ representation from an active ATP player 🏳️🌈
Fabien Reboul, the doubles World No. 54, posts this IG story with fellow French player, Max Broville.
Note: nothing’s been confirmed from either, but this could be a big step for men’s tennis.
My luck that my first time leaving the Austin airport was an apocalypse between Monday morning and both a NASCAR race and a PGA event this weekend.
We had to leave our rentals on the side of the road and security was easily at LEAST 2 hours hours deep. Thank you, pre-check 🙏🏼
45 minutes on the dot but I played my best in all my ITFs! No games but won 15 points including a winner to open the match.
These are always nerve wracking because of my insecurity, but super proud at how I competed.
The video is starting to gain some traction so let me make a couple things clear:
- it was always my dream to play ITFs. After I lost 200 pounds, I've been wanting to see how much I can improve on-court.
- anyone can sign up and enter. I'm not delusional and I know my level

According to Chanda Rubin & Lindsay Davenport, Pere Riba is no longer a member of Coco Gauff’s coaching team.
Always interesting when a split happens when things are going well. Wonder who will pick him up…
A year ago today, I decided to go to an

#BariatricSurgery
session at
@osuwexmed
and I’m so proud to have taken back my health. In that year, I’ve lost a total of 126.8 pounds! The biggest myth is that it’s an “easy way out,” but it’s far from that.
A month ago, I was in my hospital bed and signed up to enter the ITF here in Columbus.
The entry list came out and I was the complete last alternate - No. 308. By the time the freeze deadline came, I was No. 38.
However, look what we have here! Am I a pro?!

A bit overwhelmed by the (pretty much all positive) comments. Thank you!
In case you’re curious, I have an Instagram documenting my tennis journey (bariatrictennis) ⬇️
@takeyourzoloft
Agreed. However, was Jackie fully "demoted" by executives or did she make the choice to step back (but still continue to be part of the show) as she continues her recovery? I haven't really seen an answer leaning one way or another.

Only won a point in each set today, but considering I was cleared by my surgeon only 7 days ago after having skin removal 6 weeks earlier, I’m happy to be back out on court and enjoying the higher level of competition.
Roller coaster weekend in Boston. Had very high hopes and cramped out 6-4,6-4 in 2:17 in the first round.
I ended up making the consolation final vs. the
#2
seed. In the MTB, I went up 5-1 before going down 5-6 and going extra innings.
Well, we’re coming home with the 🥇

Nice to see Alicja Rosolska reach her first Grand Slam QF in women's doubles on her 47th consecutive appearance. Hasn't missed one Slam since debuting at the 2007 Australian Open.
Lost 0,0 but had 4 game points including 0-40 and hit an actual winner this time. Awkward playing next to Kyle Edmund, too😂
Had a long tournament in Chicago and got home at 1:45 this morning. Could've played better, but proud of the progress!
Now, hopefully onto doubles👀
