    Aryna Sabalenka over Elena Rybakina

    I'm in fairly frequent email contact with Bob, one of our former regular posters. I mentioned the contest and he'd like to enter as the recipient
    of a sort of master's draw.

    Bob:

    Alcaraz/Sinner
    Sabalenka/Rybakina

    He asked me to ask TT & Pelle if they intend to watch the US
    presidential inauguration on 20 Jan., MLK Jr. Day.

    Hahaha... Probably not... but tell him I kinda like the Orange Genius
    nowadays more than Sleepy Joe. Unless he fucks up my portfolio with his tariffs. And tell Bob to drop by sometime at RST...

    What else would people be doing on a sunday ? It's a perfect day to sit
    on the sofa and watch some sport.

    Leylah won her 1st round, beating bulkier Badosa lookalike #100
    Starodubtseva 7-5, 6-4... Leylah lookin' very nice in her pink outfit.

    Otherwise perfect, I must admit.

    Wow. bob is posting into RST via the sneaker network. No, I'm not
    watching anything. If I later run into juicy bits in some suitably
    slanted outlet, I might post those here so bob can read them.
