Venus Williams about Jannik Sinner's Round 2 loss at Roland Garros:

“One of the biggest stories of the tournament was Sinner suffering from whatever happened on the court: heat, or cramps, and all the things.

Jannik Sinner - Roland Garros R1 Post Match Interview: Lego edition!

Q: “And it seems that you took on a new passion of Lego, because I think you're building the Eiffel tower with your brother. Can you tell us how far you've built it?”

J: “Me and my brother, we started off some days ago at home, because after Rome I went home, so we said we'd try to finish it. We couldn't, because there are always the same pieces together, so at some point it's very boring, but, you know, we are not far away. I know after this tournament I go back home, and then I'm gonna send you guys a picture when it's finished, hopefully, if we don't miss any pieces.”

Q: “Finally, I don't know if you're aware, but Iga Swiatek, when she won here, she received the whole stadium in Lego to build, with her own self on the court. Is that something you wish to receive as well?”

Well someone did this trend correctly

Holy shit this is GORGEOUS!!!!

hi dear anon! i made a post some time ago with links to various sites but i'm sure most if not all of them don't work anymore. obviously the domains change all the time, some sites stop working etc. so here's another list for you and everyone who might need it!

(disclaimer that whether these will work depends on the country you're in. you can also use a free vpn if none of these work in your country and many times if you just turn it on to access the website and then turn it off it will stay on the page until you refresh it, even if technically your vpn isn't on anymore. also, if a website isn't working anymore, you can try googling the name of the website and see if you find the new domain.)

firstly i will always shout out this which has a whole bunch of websites so if you can't get anything else you know to work you can try what's on there and see if it works and if it has tennis.

for roland garros/tennis streams:

one / two / three* / four (and here) / five six (this also tells you the commentary language, altho sometimes it's wrong lmao) / seven (sometimes here) / eight / nine** / ten eleven / twelve / thirteen / fourteen / and fifteen if you're in australia or can set a vpn to australia

asterisks under the cut:

"here’s the video. you see i'm so scared (laughs)"

In the wise words of Lorenzo Musetti, "Sinner always brings something home, and people get used to winning". And as our beloved @fred9916 (💛) pointed out, we tend to move on from Jannik's achievements quite quickly. So here's a non-exhaustive list of stats so we don't forget Jannik Sinner's tennis is, in fact, insane:
