I have to give credit, Turner Sports is doing a great job at RG🎾 The studio work--which they EXCEL at in all their sports coverage--is especially notable. The interviewing is top notch. Hopefully, ESPN is taking note and we see an uptick in their work on the other slams. @tntsportsus.bsky.social

Well played @BenShelton! 🤝🏻 IT was a fun match! 💥 Happy to be in the quarters! @rolandgarros

100% and yet the average American still equates French with surrender. We should be following their lead on many fronts.

I don't think I could be a linesperson in tennis. They don't move an eyelash when the ball goes right at them. It would be instinctive of me to assist the ballkids. I don't know how they stay so stoic 🎾

That 5th game of the 2nd really changed everything in this match. Elena started getting a little loose with the forehand and the 4x champion seized the opportunity. Just when you thought it would be a quick match, looks like it's going the distance with momentum for the Polish #1

Paolini-Svitolina is the match that sounds like a fancy pasta dish. Parmesan Paolini-Svitolina served with a side of sauteed zucchini.

Tommy Paul: **Moving on to the quarterfinals of the French Open** The first American men's player to get to this stage since ... Andre Kirk Agassi in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Three!

It's so funny seeing Diana Schnaider playing without her trademark bandanna. #RolandGarros #doubles

I guess this is a week two addition at the official @rolandgarros.com website, an "Excitement Meter, provided by Infosys" I wonder what it goes up to when the French crowd breaks out in La Marseillaise four hours deep into a five-setter on Lenglen?

Let's go Tommy Paul! 🎾🏆🥐

🎶We will leave this place an empty stone. Or that shining ball of blue we call our home🎶🌍

And the scorecards. SPLIT DECISION Oh no. 116-112 Resendiz (DeLuca) 115-113 Plant (Sutherland--fucking clueless) 116-112 Resendiz (Weisfeld) And new WBA super widdleweight interim champion...Armando Resendiz 🥊 #PlantResendiz 25-1 underdog. #Boxing What fight was Sutherland watching? Jeebus 🙄

And it's all Armando Resendiz! When the scores are announced he will have scored massive upset and life-changing victory. I have it 116-112 for the huge underdog.

Blood flows from the right eye of Plant. Resendiz the aggressor again in the 11th, he's like a bulldog. Caleb absolutely needs a KO in the 12th or the decision will go to Armando; 106-103 thru 11 #PlantResendiz Corner telling Caleb he needs the 12th--he needs more than that

Resendiz again in the 10th. Throwing more, landing more, plain and simple. Some good counters in the round. 96-94. Corner telling Caleb he needs the championship rounds. He may need a KO #PlantResendiz

86-85 Resendiz thru 9. Plant is on the verge of needing a knockout, and he was a 25-1 favorite #PlantResendiz All the power shots & combinations being landed by Armando. Caleb just jab here, jab there and the occasional body blow

Armando Resendiz has taken over this fight thru 8. Another massive round. #PlantResendiz he has been warned about dipping his head a little on the inside but he's ahead now

Another round for Resendiz, he's landing combinations. Caleb with a few jabs on the counter but not really that effective. 67-66 Plant thru 7 but could very well be the other way #PlantResendiz

Resendiz with a big round six, especially the huge finish, solid combinations, great round! 58-56 Plant but he's lost the momentum

Plant with more body work, Resendiz with a good left hook; neither landing any combinations and they both seem to be waiting to counter but it hasn't opened up. 39-37 Plant through 4.

Resendiz lands a straight left and then a big overhand right to the face of Plant, who comes right back with a big body shot of his own. Very good round 3

The Plant jab is effective as expected, and I think he'll use it to set up some body shots as the fight goes on, he landed two to the midsection of Resendiz in the 2nd. #PlantResendiz

And the physician at ringside has recommended to the ref to stop the fight. Charlo TKO win after 5. He's ready for Plant should it happen #CharloLaManna Caleb up next here

LaManna down again and again...in 4th and 5th. How is this still going? Charlo in total command. Really looks good-- no ring rust that's for sure #CharloLaManna

And just like that, LaManna is down early in the second. #CharloLaManna

The Charlo jab punished LaManna in round one. Also landed a solid straight right. I don't think this fight will last long #CharloLaManna

Tonight, Camilo Doval pitched in an MLB game in front of his mother for the first time 🧡

Hsieh + 'Penko dubs = must-see TV #RolandGarros

In post-match interviews, let the player & interviewer speak in their native language, then give a synopsis. Trying to translate verbatim in real-time is a cacophony and awful television. Plus you can hear the emotion in their words even if you don't exactly know what's being said #RolandGarros
