Congrats to Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano on selling out Madison Square Garden (still for me the iconic tennis venue!) and producing a classic. Looks like they will go again at Croke Park Dublin. Seminal moment for womens boxing and possibly in womens sport.
Turkey, J3: Oliver Bonding has popped up here at the J3, rather than the J2 in the UK. Born 2007, he has just taken out the 6th seed in R1 Costa Rica, J3: Wil Jenkins has won his R1 match. Roy Keegan lost, though Estonia, J5: The Newberry sisters are here and both have won their R1 matches. As has Max Carri...
Q1: CARRERAS, Amanda (GBR) (15) 508 (CH=236 2017) v GANZ, Fiona (SUI) 664 (CH=636 2019) Lily was in the top position on the Q list. Two players below her are number 1 & 2 in the Q draw so I assume Lily has been moved to the Main draw to join Katie Swan.

I am sure a lot of these go on and don't get highlight, but this one looks like a shocker. Stephen Diez is on MP in the 2nd set. Brouwer serve is called out and the Umpire calls Game, Set & Match. Brouwer asks the umpire to look at the mark but he clearly looks at the wrong one - a fact BOTH players seem to b...
For those interested in Astronomy, there is an amazing alignment of the planets in the solar system at the moment that can be seen in the morning sky. This photo was taken this morning in the South east sky at around 06.20 hours. It's at times like this, I wish I had a better camera and knew how to use it LOL...
