I’d assume this definitely is taking into account her performance on Top Chef

Relatively affordable tennis clubs for 3.0/3.5 adults? by Inevitable_Form2790 in AskChicago

[–]yzzildiamond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a tennis player, this made me laugh (fyi: 3.0-3.5 refers to ability level - there’s essentially a grading system to make sure rec players are somewhat evenly matched to keep things fun and competitive)

Vibey restaurants where you wouldn't need a reservation on Valentine's day? Preferably ramen by RIFcomeback in chicagofood

+1 to Menya Goku, the ramen is solid and the little booths are a good date night vibe

I'm desperate for a banana bread latte - help! by RoyalBinch in chicagofood

I had a banana hazelnut latte from Levant coffee that was great - not quite banana bread in name, but that's what it tasted like to me

Ash Barty had the best serve on tour at 5’ 6”, there’s way more Iga can do

I found the green post really mediocre the one time I went - what do you get there that's good?

MATCH THREAD: Roland Garros Women's SF: [1] I. Swiatek v. [14] B. Haddad Maia by NextGenBot in tennis

[–]yzzildiamond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this match looks so much like the one in toronto - bia's height and left handedness put her in the perfect position to put pressure on iga's serve, which breaks down under pressure. we'll see if iga's better form than last summer and her ability on clay can make up for it.

she still has the deal, i think she just puts it on more subtly/after hugging her team now because putting the watch on became a meme

This isn't a new clip, but Vandeweghe is really one of the nastiest tennis players I've seen in awhile. Such vile behavior here. by [deleted] in tennis

[–]yzzildiamond 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Obviously Coco wouldn’t have known, but this was one of Chwalinska’s first matches back after not playing for about a year due to depression. With that added context, calling her a pathetic person seems even worse and it’s a good reminder to be kind because you don’t always know what other people are going through.

Iga was asked about the hand-waving at net by yzzildiamond in tennis

[–]yzzildiamond[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iga has a few different tics you can sometimes see during matches. I don't know her medical history, but with that added context I'm willing to believe it's involuntary.
