Editor's note: Finishing the year as world No.2, Alexander Zverev is arguably better placed than anyone to claim tennis' top spot. However, due to the well-documented allegations of domestic violence against him, we decided not to include Zverev in this editorial.

it offers a special kind of voyeuristic opportunity to experience different levels of intimacy... i keep thinking about how the comms of the potapova-kalinskaya r4 match kept emphasising that we were witnessing three matches—one, betwen the two players, a second, with each player and their mental and emotional state, and a third, between the players and their teams. all three of these are equally unpredictable and interdependent and raise the stakes of the match. we don't really know the way the tides will change because how the players play affects their mental state and their discussion with the team and vice versa. these three elements are almost inseparable and fairly volatile, especially in more dramatic, unstable matches which have strange weather conditions, or weird umpire calls, or just uncontrollable external stimuli... kind of an incredible setup for tv, if you ask me 😁 it's an improv performance that encourages the audience to buy into these complicated layers of narratives. and maybe even throw some tomatoes... symbolically of course 🤓

I actually had a conversation last month with a childhood friend who moved to Sydney a couple years ago (he was back for a month for visa reasons). We talked about cultural differences and how close-knit all italians working in food service in Sydney. Also he told me he makes 80k/year as a cook. That's EIGHT THOUSAND sushi lunches a year....
