#Tennis @loganhspants.bsky.social I saved a copy just in case some other folks hadn't seen it before. :) From r/tennis 9h ago Federal-tortuga Flashback to how Vandeweghe treated Chwalinska at Wimbledon 2022

Maja pronouncing her own name (recorded off the WTA website) ... :)

🎾 #Tennis @cdh111.bsky.social Barbora Krejcikova was the 1st WTA player whose name pronunciation I looked up. She even says it twice! ...

🎾 #Tennis This clip entitled "Marta Kostyuk Dancing to Uptown Funk While Waiting 😂 | Funny Tennis Moment" by BLESSED TENNIS just appeared in my YouTube feed. Not too shabby, Marta! I thought it might be from this year but on closer inspection it seems to be from the 2024 Paris Olympics.

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros I'd heard Maja Chwalinska's surname pronounced "Walinska" on VSiN - but it sounds more like "Falinska". Thank goodness the WTA posts audio of the players saying their own names ... [BTW John McEnroe is looking forward to watching Mark Andrews play Major Chumbawamba] :)

#Movies WarGames (1983) was next in my list of flicks from the 70s/80s that I've not seen. I'm pretty sure Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy have changed their minds about this ...

#Movies Just watched Brewster McCloud (1970) directed by Robert Altman. Not sure I'll be watching it again. Shot in Houston with a heck of a lot of it set in and around the Astrodome. Not the worst National Anthem I've heard. Glad the composer of the 'title song' received a screen credit.

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros #HYBPA The Aussies really like their Tennis. Another Tennis question, this one relating to an incident during the Khachanov vs Gea match at Roland Garros ...

#HYBPA #Canada #GlobalNews On the same episode of Have You Been Paying Attention, Lizzy Hoo answers a 'What Happened Next?" question about a clip from a Canadian news report ...

🎾 #Tennis #HYBPA Lizzy Hoo answers the Netlix Tennis documentary question correctly on the Australian version of Have You Been Paying Attention and throws in an impression for free ...

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros Sadly, we do not have John Isner on our broadcasts so I am unable to picture his "Big University Professor Who Couldn't Hack It At The Ivy League Level" look ... 😂

#NoOffence #WidowsBay @ashleysays.bsky.social I know you're loving Kate O'Flynn as Patricia in Widow's Bay. I first came cross her as Dr Peep, the consultant psychiatrist, in No Offence (2015-18). Here she is delivering her psychological expertise in S03E04 ..

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros Maja Chwalinska tells reporters about her new problem: the additional logistics involved when you get further in a tournament than you were expecting to. 😜 It's a problem she's delighted to have ...

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros Matteo Arnaldi defeats Frances Tiafoe in a 5 set epic.

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros I went for my walk expecting Tiafoe to have won the match by now, fired up the laptop and the first thing that happened was our commentators yelling in delight. So I had to rewind to find out what the fuss was about ...

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros Aryna Sabalenka defeats Naomi Osaka in straight sets. She will play Diana Shnaider in the Quarter Finals.

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros Aryna Sabalenka takes the 1st set from Naomi Osaka.

#Beatles #TheBeatles Released 60 years ago as the B side of Paperback Writer, here's the B&W promotional video of Rain (which is different to the colour one!). Paul had a moped accident & chipped his tooth in December 1965. He must have had it capped between here & the US Tour.

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros Joao Fonseca defeats Casper Ruud to reach the Quarter Finals ...

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros The line judge gets the call totally wrong and denies Joao Fonseca a 2 Set lead. But, thankfully, ball don't lie and Fonseca takes the next point off Ruud's next serve. As @ashleysays.bsky.social just posted: We have the technology! French Open: nu uh

#Beatles #TheBeatles DRMPLX's mix of Paperback Writer which was released as a single 60 years ago yesterday with Rain on the B Side. The Beatles rule of thumb was to exclude singles from albums so this isn't on Revolver (although the follow up double A side Eleanor Rigby / Yellow Submarine was).

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros Wakes up ... checks overnight scores ... OMG! Marta Kostyuk defeated Iga Swiatek. That's my revised bracket up in smoke already.

#MyCousinVinny #VSiN #ANumbersGame The guys on VSiN use the audio from this clip for their "Are You Sure?" segment on A Numbers Game ...

#MyCousinVinny #Yutes The scene in question ... 😂

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros The umpire calls "Wait, please!" as the ball kid runs back to her spot and Faria is upset. He has already been complaining about Tiafoe not being ready for his serve. Robbie Koenig just said, "You never know when someone's going to lose it or have a meltdown."

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros The Champions League Final has been over for about an hour and the Tennis commentators on World Feed are still talking about (and showing) the fireworks in a break between sets in the Faria vs Tiafoe match ... :)

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros Impressive win for Madison Keys over Victoria Mboko. I thought her chance might have gone when Victoria took the 2nd Set but Madison bounced back. She will play Diana Shnaider in the Last 16.

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros We miss the 1st 3 points of the deciding set between Keys and Mboko because the Tennis broadcast is giving us a live view of Parc Des Princes and the result of the Champions League Final. I watched the 3rd & 4th place match of the 1998 FIFA World Cup at that ground. :)

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros Victoria Mbobo levels her match with Madison Keys. Keys had 2 Match Points when Mboko served at 4 games to 5.

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros The Karolina Muchova Fan Club @muchovafanclub.bsky.social was getting a little stressed in the 1st Set. Panic over! Karolina Muchova defeats Anastasia Zakharova in straight sets. She will play Kamilla Rakhimova in the 2nd Round.

🎾 #Tennis #RolandGarros Karolina Muchova wins the last 5 games to take the 1st Set from Anastasia Zakharova.
