They…

penalized Simone Biles for being better

said Serena Williams looked like a man

applied different standards for Sha’Carri Richards

mocked Naomi Osaka about her mental health

excoriated Angel Reese for competitive taunting

All are BLACK women. All are CHAMPIONS despite the hate.

Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History

I don’t think Tashi’s look of disgust when Art kisses her knee is actually about him. It’s at herself. Their dynamic is so entirely shaped by power, by the fact that Art is lesser than her. She’s better at tennis, better at keeping her control, better at getting Patrick to fall into her bed. It’s the uncaring idol and the tortured devotee. Hell, it’s outright stated; she asks “what am I, Jesus?” and he says “yes” like it’s obvious. Even the way they sit in that scene shows how Tashi is a religion to him, kissing and bowed over her lap like in prayer. Which is why, to a woman who buys into that dynamic, who also thinks of herself as God to Art’s worshipper, it’s so disgusting that she truly does love him. Tashi adores him. Not even close to as much as she adores tennis, but she does. Right after that scene she goes and asks Patrick to throw the match - because if Art loses, she leaves him. And she doesn’t want to have to leave him. It goes against what she knows. God is not supposed to make sacrifices for mere mortals. Achilles is not meant to swoon at the soft weakness of his heel. But here she is, seeing the chip in her armour and thinking it lovely anyway. Hence the look.

#and she hates him and thinks he’s pathetic #but she knows that #it’s realising she loves him. it’s gross to her in the literal sense #it’s skincrawlingly wrong for her to (even in the smallest ways) betray her best love - tennis and its rules - for Art #she loves him loves their life loves their daughter (would trade it all in a second for her health back but does love love love) #and how foul to love Art when Patrick is the better devotee #he’s better at tennis. and Tashi is tennis heart and soul. but she still loves Art. even if he has to work at it earn it #she’s willing to train him up. loves him. and it disgusts her #love in its purest sense feels so wrong to her <3 #challengers #tashi duncan #art donaldson #patrick zweig

#friend also reads sports rpf and the had the cinema for ourselves so we made way too many this seems homoerotic jokes #friend also knows nothing about tennis meanwhile i played it for like. eight years and religiously watched it so i was explaining the rules #on the fly and then after the movie had to google several things cause im out of practice #it made me miss tennis. even all the clay court bullshit despite zero (0) clay courts in the movie lol #erika.txt

#walk with me there are layers here rhaenyra still acting like a child who can do whatever she wants like patrick they both never grew up #especially with the lore that patrick comes from a rich family and never really had to work for much cause he had natural talent whereas art #had to try hard at tennis and everything and went to college and followed the rules

#OTD 1957: Althea Gibson Wins Wimbledon! 1st Black Tennis Player to win a Grand Slam!

By Miriam Kleiman, Public Affairs

NARA ID 58260. “From 143rd Street in Harlem to the center court in Wimbledon is about as far as one can travel.” —Althea Gibson

Althea Gibson, daughter of South Carolina sharecroppers, grew up in Harlem and became a champion of the very segregated sport of tennis. Gibson was the first Black tennis player to compete and win at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Nationals (Arthur Ashe was the 1st Black man to win at Wimbledon when he defeated Jimmy Connors 8 years later, in 1975). Eventually, she would play—and beat—all other top women’s tennis players worldwide, while shattering class and racial barriers!

Gibson, L, on the Wheaties box in 2001. Serena Williams, R, in 2019.

"In 2001, Wheaties paid homage to a true champion and an icon by putting her on the cover of a Wheaties Box. Althea Gibson was the FIRST Black Woman tennis player to be on the box. Today, I am honored to be the second. I have dreamt of this since I was a young woman and it’s an honor to join the ranks of some of America’s most decorated athletes. I hope my image on this iconic orange box will inspire the next generation of girls and athletes to dream big.” —Serena Williams

So... apparently quite a few people had been complaining about a new "famous rivalries" artwork at Wimbledon not featuring Andy but he chose to point out instead that they had painted most of the women into the background.

#i know why i grant him an exemption from the 'not liking celebrities too much' rule :-) #the artwork is pretty awful by the way i wouldn't be too mad about not being on it either #andy murray #tennis
