<\/a>I always want the Wimbledon towels.<\/p><\/div>\n
And a lot has been happening in the tennis world since I last wrote about this sport in September. There are a lot of promising newcomers, top guy Carlos Alcaraz<\/strong> is injured and is therefore sitting out for the second Major in a row, and creepy Serena Williams<\/strong> is back, (playing doubles and<\/em>, in a recent surprise, singles, as well, and, I\u2019m sure, doing so to Before I get off the Serena tip, I have one more That so cracked me up! Mr. X still can\u2019t get over that in her playing days, when she was clearly close to 200 pounds, she had her weight listed as\u2026a mere 135! He still mentions it when he sees her.<\/p>\n Serena Williams SINCE she’s lost weight! Oysh.<\/p><\/div>\n But the rest of the ladies must be quaking in their boots right about now. Since she\u2019s entering as a Wild Card, because she longer has her old-time seeded player status, anyone can be unfortunate to play her in the first<\/em> round<\/em>! Anyone<\/em>!!! That includes even World #1 Aryna Sabalenka<\/strong>! And all<\/em> of today\u2019s top players, including defending Wimbledon Champion Iga \u015awi\u0105tek<\/strong>. So that might be an interesting wrinkle to this usually drama-free tourney.<\/p>\n As to the rest of Wimbledon 2026, perhaps most interestingly, the French Open a couple of weeks ago wound-up with not one<\/em>, but both<\/em> first-time Major Champions!!! On the men\u2019s side, #1 Jannik Sinner<\/strong> and #3 Novak Djokovic<\/strong> both were defeated in\u2026the second round!!! #2 Sasha Zverev<\/strong> took advantage, stayed the course, and after losing his first three Major finals over the years, he finally won one. I\u2019m so happy for him.<\/p>\n New first-time French Open Champs, Mirra Andreeva and Jannik Sinner.<\/p><\/div>\n The jury is out on my happiness for the women\u2019s winner, young Mirra Andreeva<\/strong>. I\u2019ve seen her be sort-of sweet when she started out, but in recent times, I\u2019ve seen her be a bit nasty.<\/p>\n Mr. X asked me who my top players are now. He knows I\u2019ve never had the same love of the sport since The Stranger I Love Most, Roger Federer<\/strong>, retired. I do sort-of always root for Carlos in Roger\u2019s stead, but he\u2019s out this year. So, even though I have a feeling that Matteo Berrettini<\/strong> will never win a Major, he\u2019s been my guy for several years now, shallowly, I admit, because of his extreme beauty. But the powers-that-be at these tournaments must be jealous of him because they rarely show his matches, (on normal TV\u2014all the matches are available to stream,) unless he makes it so far that they must<\/em>! Shame.<\/p>\nadvertise<\/del> show-off her Ozempic\u2014or whichever drug she\u2019s taking\u2014weight loss, which she denied for a long time, until she could make money off it!) Even though I can\u2019t stand her, this is the biggest news in the tennis world since someone beat Sabalenka last month!<\/p>\ncatty<\/del> fun comment on the situation. Because I write about sports so often, many official oddsmakers include me in their missives. So I see a lot of odds in many categories. For example: who will be rookie of the year, what players will be traded and to whom, which teams will win championships the next<\/em> year, etc. But the most interesting one that I\u2019ve ever received is this one from last week: \u201cWhat will be Serena Williams\u2019 playing weight at Wimbledon? Over\/Under\u00a0160 pounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
