This
week,
we
worked

a
few
sets,

managed
to
tackle
our
“regular

Every
Sunday,
we’ll
send
you
a
curated
mix
of
timeless
moments,
must-read
articles,
the
best
in

and
a
nod
to
the
elegant
women
who
have
long
been
part
of
the
sport’s
allure.
Enjoy
the
read,
have
a
great
week,
and
thanks

ClubHouse
a
look.
If
you

PACIFIC
Tournament
Pro
Tough
Gut
Tennis
string
made
from
bull
intestines.
It’s
the
rarest,
priciest
string
out
there
because
regular
cow
intestines
are
clearly
for
amateurs.
If
you
want
to
elevate
your
game—and
your
bank
account
statement—this
is
the
string
for
you.
It’s
hard
to
find,
costs
a
fortune,
and
it
will
definitely
not
make
you
play
better,
but
it
will
make
you
think
you
can—and
that’s
priceless.

‘I’m
good,
I
promise’
by Conor
Niland
This
article
from
The
Guardian
takes
a
deep
dive
into
the
often-overlooked
struggles
of
lower-ranked
tennis
players
on
the
professional
circuit.
It
explores
the
harsh
realities
of
life
on
tour—long
stretches
away
from
home,
financial
challenges,
and
the
emotional
toll
of
chasing
success
without
the
glamor
and
support
that
top-ranked
stars
enjoy.
If
you
want
to
understand
the
true
grit
it
takes
to
keep
fighting
for
a
breakthrough, this
ones
for
you.

What’s
In
&
What's
Out
by
Kevin
Nguyen
Take
a
look
at
how
AI
and
electronic
line-calling
are
changing
the
way
we
experience
tennis.
It
goes
beyond
just
accuracy—it’s
about
how
tech
is
influencing
the
sport’s
integrity,
human
touch,
and
even
sports
betting.
And
on
top
of
that,
the
article
itself
is
visually
striking,
with
some
standout
design
elements
that
make
it
a
compelling
read.

As the
China Open
just
wrapped,
it’s the
perfect
time to
talk about
21-year-old
Michael
Chang’s
impact at
the very
first
event back
in 1993,
then known
as the
Salem
Open.
Chang
clinched
the
inaugural
title by
defeating
Greg
Rusedski
in a
thrilling
three-set
match,
7-6(7-5),
6-7(6-8),
6-4. He
went on to
win the
tournament
two more
times in
1994 and
1995,
solidifying
his
presence
as a
dominant
force in
the
region.
Chang’s
victories
played a
pivotal
role in
establishing
the event
as a
premier
competition
and helped
elevate
tennis’s
profile in
Asia.
Michael’s
story is
one worth
revisiting—his
30 for 30
documentary
is out
now.
Check
out
the
trailer.
Note:
We
couldn’t
track
down a
photo
from
that
event,
so
here’s
one of
his
classic,
badass
reaches
instead.
