Naomi Osaka, U.S. Open champion and now a star, was totally overlooked by everyone. For tomorrow's @WSJ: wsj.com/articles/naomi-osaka…
Everyone is ready for football, including @FiveThirtyEight (follow them online). And while you're waiting for the game to start, you could read about Novak Djokovic (@DjokerNole): fivethirtyeight.com/features…
Third set. 2-2. Sofia Kenin down 0-40. Comes back, doesn't lose another game. Incredible. fivethirtyeight.com/features…
Congrats, @SofiaKenin -- and congrats to American women in tennis, too. The future looks bright. fivethirtyeight.com/features…
Will Sofia Kenin win a Slam in Australia? It doesn't matter, because young American women have a lot of promise. My piece from @FiveThirtyEight fivethirtyeight.com/features…:
Federer is tired. And old! But somehow, he's still in it at the Australian Open. Great piece by @lainehiggins17. wsj.com/articles/roger-feder…
Nadal still can't solve the Australian Open. fivethirtyeight.com/features…
Why does Rafael Nadal have so much trouble at the Australian Open? For @FiveThirtyEight: fivethirtyeight.com/features…
Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff could make an incredible rivalry. The best part: they're completely different. For the @FiveThirtyEight: fivethirtyeight.com/features…
Serena Williams and her elusive 24th Grand Slam, at @FiveThirtyEight: fivethirtyeight.com/features…
I spoke to the Bryan brothers this week. 2020 will be their last year as pros, hopefully ending at the U.S. Open. wsj.com/articles/the-bryan-b…
Bianca Andreescu has never lost a match against top opponents ranked No. 10 or lower. That's absurd and improbable. My U.S. Open story for @FiveThirtyEight: fivethirtyeight.com/features…

If your idea of tennis is variety, tactical daring, and relentlessness, Sunday’s US Open men’s final was one for the ages. My piece. @usopen @NewYorker newyorker.com/sports/sportin…
Rafael Nadal is 230-4 at Slams when he wins the first set. Medvedev needs to start early. wsj.com/articles/rafael-nada…
Serena Williams, once again, is one match from history. But could Bianca Andreescu, age 19, stop the champ? wsj.com/articles/serena-will…
Great column from by @jasongay. Could this be Medvedev's be his moment? wsj.com/articles/an-irresist…
Wonderful story by @lainehiggins17 on tennis and school:

In men's U.S. tennis players, a long drought continues. And that's why Coco Gauff is so important. wsj.com/articles/coco-gauff-…
Novak Djokovic and Naomi Osaka won the U.S. Open last year. They are both gone. wsj.com/articles/the-u-s-ope…
Coco Gauff is 15 years old. 15! Imagine what she could do down the road. Now that the Open over, she'll work on everything. wsj.com/articles/coco-gauff-…
