During today's women's singles tennis final at the French Open, I became a lip reader. At one point, the number two player in the world right now, Coco Gauff, who went on to win the match, missed a volley that she should not have even tried to play, as she was terribly out of position. "Why? Why?" she exclaimed. Earlier, the number one player in the world right now, Aryna Sabalenka, missed a volley that should have been easy. "What was that?" she asked herself. And as she turned back toward the service line, she added, "I suck"—a striking statement for someone with her ranking and three Grand Slam titles. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 7 June 2025)
