She was probably talking to him while cheering for him and disturbing him in the process.

Daria Kasatkina comes out as gay and speaks out against Russian attitudes

The country’s top-ranked female tennis player has revealed she is an a relationship with a woman, but she could ‘never’ hold her hand in Russia

www.theguardian.com

Remarkably brave.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

She sounded so pissed off in the interview too. Like "why do all these chuckle****s care about me and who I'm dating? Seriously?"

Mind, interestingly the Guardian leaves out the context it was revealed in, which is a vlog about how the Russians have been "cancelled"/"отменя́в"...

 

[Niall]

Good for her , if she did not have a serve worse than Errani she would win much more than she .

 

[Anil]

yeah good for her...hope she and her family stay safe through this...

Read somewhere that Kyrgios was ranked 37 after Washington but would be top 10 if Wimbledon counted & has a top 5 record this year

Has the talent but he’s never been the fittest & then there’s the temperament…

If you look at his results since grass began he has been really consistent. His loss to Murray was a lowlight as he lost the plot but even then Murray was playing some good stuff that week so not a total fiasco to lose that one.

Probably loses in 1st round to Richard Gasquet or something now.

At the risk of prompting a complete mental breakdown from Kyrgios next time he plays...he does seem to be mentally a bit better than previous years.

Kyrgios hammered De Minaur

That was really impressive

I hope he keeps this going. He's very impressive to watch when he is mainly focused on playing tennis. Especially for a bloke with no coach. Clearly has an abundance of tennis smarts.

Horses for courses, surely Medvedev will be hard to beat again this year.

 

[Anil]

Yeah he goes in as the favorite…
