These scores always make me chuckle.

Scottie!
Such a calm putter. Moves like a sloth 🦥 when putting.
He’s pretty low key. It’s still comical how that off-duty cop was able to escalate his tripping and ripping his pants into an arrest of a polite guy who moves like a sloth.

Apparently, he is much more Panama Myers than George Mueller…
Except that he has George’s height.
This is a lump of clay that I think this coaching staff can mold into something that can help our team. No tripping over his feet and falling down while just running down court.
1) The fact that The Tennis Channel 🎾 has a sound feed that is about a full second ahead of the video feed is really annoying!
2) Don’t call me racist because I’m pulling for Paolini 🇮🇹. I just can’t quite that little Italian bundle of joy.
She’s my little caramel macchiato.
Full Disclosure: Paolini is also of (relatively recent) African descent, but not to the same degree as her American opponent.
Speaking of Italians at the Italian Open…
Paolini 🇮🇹 plays Gauff 🇺🇸 in the final today at 10am CDT.
Paolini 🇮🇹 & Errani 🇮🇹 beat Schneider 🇷🇺 & Andreeva 🇷🇺 in the semis to play in the final tomorrow.
Sinner 🇮🇹 is in the final tomorrow vs Álvaraz 🇪🇸.
The local fans will have lots to cheer for.
Yes, he does now, but he grew up in the German speaking part of Italy and his parents are German speakers.
His Italian was supposedly fairly rough until he went to train at the national tennis center, where everything was in Italian.
If you listen to him speak English, you will notice that he does not sound like an Italian speaking English. Nothing about his accent or body language would indicate that he has ever even been to Italy before this tournament.
If I were speaking English with Sinner somewhere in Italy (outside of Tyrol) in front of Italians who didn’t follow tennis, I would be mistaken for being the Italian in our conversation at least 9 times out of 10 (due in no small part to my time in Argentina) over Sinner.
Two non native Italian speakers trying to joke with each other in Italian.
I always laugh at native German speaking Jannick Sinner, from Tyrol (which should be part of Austria 🇦🇹), being called “Italian”…
…but he is as Italian as Ricardo Pepi is American.
PS- Sinner is better at tennis 🎾 than Pepi ever will be at soccer ⚽️.
I do not want anything with “It just means more.” printed on it.
Am glad we won, but I will not buy anything with that “We’re fucking losers at life.” slogan on it.
Go Team!
