She’s hitting winners

Jennifer Brady is about to hit forehands again 😮‍💨🙌🏽 #BNPParibasOpen

I can definitely see how someone could’ve thought it would be back in 2019

Tennis and sport is so interesting

If you were asked 7-8 years ago if a Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Denis Shapovalov match sounds like a final of a grand slam, I wouldn’t be shocked if you said yes.

Here we are in 2026 and they’re both ranked around 40 in the world playing first round of a Masters

The second set scoreline though?

#BNPParibasOpen 🎾 Day 1️⃣ of Main Draw Play features:

Paula Badosa (former champ)
Matteo Berrettini
Bianca Andreescu (former champ)
Tsitsipas v. Shapovalov
Gael Monfils
Marin Cilic
Joao Fonseca
and Sloane Stephens

No they were not 😂. If you read the thread i expounded a bit on why AT THE TIME their wins were completely out of the blue.

Fritz was definitely a surprise at the time. He had never even made a grand slam quarter before that IW run. And it’s still the biggest trophy he’s won.

Vekic? Yea definitely wouldn’t see that one coming lol

She played Venus in the quarters who she always troubled, Mladenovic in the semis(???😂) and Kuznetsova in the final who notoriously would let nerves get the best of her in big moments. So yea it aligned for her big time.

Neither of those would qualify as “didn’t see that coming” in my book

Would love to see her win it but i wouldn’t qualify it as “didn’t see that coming” considering she’s a top 10 player.

Badosa had never even competed in the main draw of Indian Wells before winning it

And Fritz only had one 250 title to his name before winning big in 2022

Vesnina had been on tour for years and hadn’t come good for a huge title

Osaka was outside of the top 40 when she won Indian Wells and had never won a WTA title

Andreescu was basically an unknown quantity

Norrie was not taken seriously as a top 30 player

Indian Wells has definitely had its fair share of “didn’t see that coming!” champions (at the time) in the last ten years.

Who would you like to see lift the trophy outside of the already established top tennis players?

The face i just made lolol

I’m sure his hush and leave it alone money is quite long these days.

Hey tennis watchers. Sorry if you’ve been feeling neglected with my voice on here or otherwise (life does happen)

But i have a particular fondness for this time of the year and the Sunshine Double!

Are you excited for the tennis in Indian Wells and Miami??

It looks like miserable conditions in Rio

Bro. They’d call for my head.

A shame i have Svitolina thoughts that i cannot share without fear of persecution

Well, only Zverev remains lol.

Will the Australian Open Crown Another First-Time Champion? The Australian Open has a long history of crowning first-time champions, and this year has the potential to do it again.

Melbourne has a way of changing careers forever.

With Svitolina, Pegula, and Zverev still standing, the 2026 #AustralianOpen feels familiar in the best way.

Tensions are high. And I’m not necessarily talking racquets.

Bartunkova just took a chunk outta Bencic

I could listen to Chanda Rubin commentate a tennis match every day of the week!
