Should've been about 3rd Sports story, not first headline in the main news. I mean, it's only tennis... (And I say that as a tennis fan)

Most football (and sport in general) is on specialist, subscription channels.]
Raemond Jan 2022 7:21am, 11 Jan 2022 8,811 posts	Quote Pin Raemond Somewhat related - the way the Guardian morning briefing doesn't specify what sports it's talking about in the the sports bit, but must assume that everyone reading it has encyclopedic knowledge of every player and coach in every sport. Also, that they cover soccer disproportionately more than every other sport. I bloody hate soccer.
