Antwerp (250) D QF: Lloyd Glasspool/Hugo Nys [3] def. Alexander Bublik/Alexander Shevchenko 6-3, 6-3 Match Stats

📸 Antwerp feed

This was rather a statement win from Glassnys, who went solid on their serves and nailed their return thanks to their anticipation and point construction in general, which overwhelmed A. Bublik/A. Shevchenko to some extent until it affected their service games a lot, often pressed as a result. This was evident from Glassnys’ stand-out first serves winning percentage, with a 92% winning rate despite the latter pair scored twice more aces than them (4 to 2), implying accuracy matters. Besides, A. Bublik/A. Shevchenko risked it too much on their serves (and the end-of-match circus also did not help, either) with 8 double faults, fading their second serves winning percentage to 7%, with a whopping 64% difference between them and Glassnys as a result of its visible vulnerability.

The said second serve vulnerability then allowed Glassnys to control the flow from both the baseline and the net. They took a more careful approach and started to put balls in, leaving A. Bublik/A. Shevchenko to tons of unforced errors other than their own double faults, and Glassnys took this matter by firing more winners as they saw the chance. As a result, Glassnys had 8 opportunities to break despite only converting 3 of them troughout both sets, 2 of which conversions came as A. Bublik/A. Shevchenko’s game collectively fell apart.

In the semifinals, Glassnys will face first seeds Ariel Behar/Adam Pavlasek, who defeated another Challenger breakout pair in Evan King/Reese Stalder (the winner of last week’s Fairfield Challenger, for example) 7-6(2), 6-4 in another close encounter. Knowing both players, this could be a more competitive match compared to a statement, depending on which version of both pairs will be on. It could boil down to their own balance again, but the point construction should stand out for either pair to survive in this match other than solid serves (as proven in this match), counting in court coverage for another thing.

Bishop Glasspool celebrates mass. Michaelmas 2024

Gene Robinson was made a bishop in the Episcopal Church, the first openly-gay bishop, ever. Robinson is quick to point out that there have always been gay bishops in the Episcopal Church. "There have been a lot of us, let's just be clear," he said. "I'm just the first openly-gay one."

This past November marked the 20th anniversary of him being made a bishop. 20 years ago he was called the most dangerous man in the Anglican Church and wore a bullet-proof vest because of the many threats against him.

"It's an awful thing to stand in a pulpit and encourage people to live authentic lives when you know you're not being authentic. It's why I felt God called me out of the closet."

The next gay bishop in the Anglican Church wouldn't come until 2010 when Mary Glasspool became the first opely lesbian woman to be consecrated a bishop in Anglican Communion.

Today there are currently 5 openly-gay bishops in the Anglican Church.

The particular church I watch online is currently celebrating the 50th anniversary of the ordination of women. The guest speaker this morning was Right Reverend Mary Glasspool and she was the first openly lesbian woman to be elected to the episcopate in the Episcopal Church or in the larger Anglican Communion. This morning she mentioned the important roles of political activist groups such as the Black Panthers and Dykes on Bikes as they both gathered together on a hot summer night in 1974 to protect the newly ordained women from those who were threatening them with death.

Ooooh there are a lot of R1 matches in Rotterdam that I am very much looking forward to! 😃

Carlos Alcaraz v Botic van de Zandschulp Lorenzo Sonego v Holger Rune Flavio Cobolli v Hubert Hurkacz David Goffin v Alex de Minaur Matteo Berrettini v Tallon Griekspoor Stan Wawrinka v Daniil Medvedev

H. Hurkacz & J. Mensik v S. Bolelli & A. Vavassori R. Haase & S. Verbeek v J. Cash & L. Glasspool T. Griekspoor & B. van de Zandschulp & K. Krawietz & T. Puetz

🇮🇹 continues to be the theme of my tennis in 2025 - although possibly slightly more intentionally than it was for a lot of 2024. This year, I'm owning in.

Mr. Bennett Addenbrooke occupied substantial offices in Wellington Street, Strand, and was out when we arrived; but he had only just gone "over the way to the court"; and five minutes sufficed to produce a brisk, fresh-colored, resolute-looking man, with a very confident, rather festive air, and black eyes that opened wide at the sight of Raffles. "Mr.—Glasspool?" exclaimed the lawyer. "My name," said Raffles, with dry effrontery. "Not up at Lord's, however!" said the other, slyly. "My dear sir, I have seen you take far too many wickets to make any mistake!"

LOL. The drawbacks of being famous while doing crime

On a side note - when you consider the time Bunny and Raffles are living in, it's not so strange that Raffles assumed he wouldn't be recognised despite being a well known cricket player. Media is so much more visual these days, photos and videos are everywhere, and it's all much more accessible too. Pop a name into any phone or computer and, if the name is not too common, it is very likely you will find at least one photo of them. But, while illustrations were of course used and photography was getting a bit more common, in the late victorian/early edwardian age the far majority of media back was still text based. An example: this was the front page of the Daily Mail on 23 June 1897:

So. Much. Text. And you would need to visit a library or archive to find older editions of what was published, and even then, they would be sorted by date and publisher, not by subject. It's for these very reasons that Sherlock Holmes keeps his own newspaper cuttings archive. Raffles' name would likely be well known - but, except for those who had personally met him or were dedicated fans, not his face. It's damn hard to recognise a face from a description alone, after all.
