michtien final?

alas that’s not possible with the draw but if they both win their next match then they’ll play in the semis!

I love hearing about the vibes I give off cause I honestly have no idea

there’s something so beautifully sisyphean about following a sports team. each season is a cycle of pushing a boulder up a hill, and every time you think, maybe this is the time we’ll get it to the top of the hill. we just need to keep pushing that boulder. then when it rolls down again, you think, okay, maybe this time is different. maybe if we’re sufficiently hopeful and lucky and hardworking we can push that boulder to the top of the hill. and then it rolls down again. and then you decide to keep pushing the boulder —

and it’s maddening. but it’s also kind of nice…because there’s always the next season, and there’s always the same boulder, so you start to almost feel fond of the boulder. and wouldn’t it feel amazing if you did get it to the top of the hill one day? and wasn’t it kind of fun to push the boulder, even if it was painful in real time? anyway, one must imagine sports fans happy

You are now trapped in the last movie you watched with the last person you texted. How’s it going?

taylor fritz’s ability to look like a sad wet dog under every circumstance is very compelling to me

At least he lost to learner and not someone terrible

true! I can’t be too mad, and I feel like learner is one of those players who is well-suited to grass because of craftiness in his game

hi maya, just read an article on taylor from the guardian and it was interesting to hear from his perspective of his performance in the current and 2024 seasons. turns out we also got an answer on what taylor wants to do after he retires: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/jun/25/taylor-fritz-wimbledon-tennis-grand-slam
