Doubles owns and doesn't get the attention it deserves. Go watch.

Barty is cool and good but Vandeweghe is her partner, and Kiki is on the other side of the net... third set should be good

Fighting like beavers.
Doubles is fun in person but not on television. The points are shorter than singles AND there is more time between points because the players insist on having a cover-the-mouth strategy chat before every serve.

It’s fun seeing how many racist people in here think they know what they are talking about while doubling down and continue to be racist while plenty of people of color and actual sports experts explain why it was racism and bad calls.

Her opponent doesn't matter because it's not that the umpire wanted to gift a slam to a white person, it's that he created the appearance of punishing "uppity" behavior that has been excused in other circumstances

Yeah a lot of people seem to think racism is an active planned thing when it's often an ingrained emotional reaction.

If tennis really wanted to be racist they could try investigating why Serena Williams is dominating a highly athletic sport at the age of like 69.

It also has been punished in other, similar circumstances. But sure, has to be racism.
