I think it’s a good ploy. “Good PR”, especially wins, is very important to Putin.
Bombing shopping centres in Ukraine makes more news than Russian tennis players.
Really need to use Cyrillic to spell them right….
Putin should be banned from all sports, considering all that he’s doing to innocent Ukrainians. Who knows what he’ll do to his opponent players?
Good jab at the names.I see so many 5-syllable Russian last names I keep thinking we should just dream up nicknames for them.
Kyrie Irving is back with the Nets.Next year,he will refuse to take aspirin.
Or Polish names. Trust me, I know.
Fumble mouth Tank doing a comeback? I remember when he not only tackled everything that fell on the floor, yelling fumble, but got so tongue-tied trying to pronounce foreign names that he would make them even worse.
Why do you think everybody called Carl Yastrzemski “Yaz”?
