A pretty darn solid first pitch at the Reds game tonight by Daniil Medvedev, who has become a bona fide Reds fan, improbably. (Also, good work by the various video folks covering this moment to blur out the unwanted logo on that jersey…)

As Andreeva celebrated her win, a pair of fans inside Chatrier whipped out and waved a Russian flag to celebrate Andreeva’s country. A #RolandGarros security guard quickly swooped in and had them put it away in the guy’s purse.

Genuinely wondering if Alex Eala is already the most popular player in women’s tennis right now? Thousands of Filipino fans who couldn’t get into Court 6 are watching her match on screens around the Australian Open grounds.

Trump draws some boos, and a few claps, when shown saluting during the anthem. (No one else was saluting the anthem). Stadium still half empty due to long security lines. #USOpen

Stars will draw huge crowds, even for doubles. And Venus, a planetary star like none other still in orbit, still has quite the gravitational pull today in Washington.

Pro tip for #Wimbledon: Forget the cream, for sure. And if you don’t want them plain, go for heat and salt instead.

Interesting end to Ben Shelton’s press conference. Unprompted, he took a moment to tear into the quality of local broadcasting and specifically on-court interviewing at #AusOpen.

“Female athletes” are not a monolith on this topic—not even close. Martina Navratilova is very loud but she doesn’t speak for everyone. Here’s Rennae Stubbs, for example, this week on her show. “I’m very on the opposite side of Martina…I don’t see it as a problem.”

Tense moment at WTA 1000 Montreal tonight between Sakkari and Collins. I agree with Collins here--the officials need to be way stricter on players recklessly smacking the ball and throwing racquets into the stands. Should be no looking the other way when that happens.

Naomi Osaka completes her year of floral looks with what is surely one of the most elaborate hairstyles ever worn onto court at the U.S. Open. (Her subsequent hairstyle for the match is much more streamlined.)

Was on BBC News last night sharing my thoughts about today's fast-approaching "Battle of the Sexes" farce, which I think is a long-term lose-lose for tennis in all ways.

This made it from Bounces into Eurovision media circles already but I haven't seen many tennis people mention it yet, so ICYMI: When we spoke pre-Wimbledon, Grigor Dimitrov expressed great eagerness for a Eurovision hosting role, since Bulgaria will host next year's contest.

Not overly invested in the World Cup, honestly, but I do now need the U.S. to at least do better than Austria.

Alex de Minaur made his best plea for a US Open mixed wildcard for himself and longtime girlfriend Katie Boulter in the latest Bounces notebook. “Some of the other partnerships, they haven't really said a word to each other in their lives, right?”

A definition for "exhibition" in tennis isn't an easy or simple thing to string together, as you can tell by how Casper Ruud got himself tangled up once he encountered some knotty examples.
