I hope she reaches the finals. I-I t-think I am in love. She ticks all my boxes;
>Londoner

>Beefy thighs
Fucking check check check.
>>4891 I just did 40 cups of tea in a day. I am in the same boat, kinda. Why is his jaw like that? Why is he clinching his hands like that? Why is he standing like that? Why won't he come outside to meet the lovely camera people with his little darling? Has Murray ever worn that suit out ever before? Did his mum fit it for him?
The Graun are having a teary because other papers didn't stuff extra words into their headlines to specify that it's only 77 years since we had a male singles winner and that British women have won in that time. They do love going out of their way to be offended.
>>4893 >They do love going out of their way to be offended.
Not that I'm disagreeing, but I think the tabloids have really cornered the market on that.
>>4894 The way I see it is that the Mail like to offend people at every given opportunity and the Graun like to be offended at every given opportunity.
>Wimbledon: ATP & WTA strip ranking points from Grand Slam over ban for Russians and Belarusians
>Players will not receive ranking points at Wimbledon following the decision to ban Russian and Belarusian competitors from the tournament.
>Players from the countries have been banned by the All England Lawn Tennis Club from all UK grass-court events after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
>"The stance we are taking is about protecting the equal opportunities that WTA players should have to compete as individuals," added the WTA, the women's governing body.
>"If we do not take this stance, then we abandon our fundamental principle and allow the WTA to become an example to support discrimination based on nationality at other events and in other regions around the world."
And my personal favourite highlight:
>The ATP decision means Serbia's Novak Djokovic - the defending men's champion - will lose his status as the world number one.
>Djokovic, a six-time champion at the All England Club, will be unable to retain the 2,000 ranking points he earned by winning the title last year and is only 680 ahead of nearest rival Daniil Medvedev.
Daniil Medvedev is Russian. Oops!
My own opinion is that I supported this decision originally, when they banned Russian players, but then they said any Russian player could still play if they were willing to denounce their government. But the whole point of the ban is to prevent Russian news from reporting on Russian winners. Russian news won't report on the players dissing Putin, but they would still report on the victories of any anti-Putin Russian tennis player, without anyone knowing they opposed the war. The whole ban became self-defeating at that point.
Alternative compromise: Russian players can still compete, but every available surface of the players and court is emblazoned with the words "Vladimir Putin is a homosexual" in Russian.
