G’day from Australia. It seems to be consistently too hot, windy, or rainy to play. There is one indoor tennis court in the entirety of Adelaide, and it’s at a holiday park. Smh

I’d be fine to play in most conditions, but people here are too pussy to do so. So I have two options, hit against the wall or live MiloΕ‘ Raonić’s childhood by hitting serves over and over again.

After phasing out of junior club tennis, I’d now have to show some major commitment to get into seniors. It would be starting all over again, with no guarantee of making a team.

Social tennis is dependent on the weather and people’s ability to FUCKING LET US KNOW if they’re going to show up to the court or not.

Please cheer me up, /r/tennis.

Margaret Court feels that tennis is ignoring the anniversary of her grand-slam win on account of marriage-equality.

In Australia, it has been widely reported that Margaret Court feels like the tennis community is trying to erase her achievements in tennis because she is outspoken about opposing civil rights for LGBT people.

We absolutely *must* celebrate the anniversary of Reverend Court's grand slam win - she is the first Australian woman to have done it. And we should take a moment to remind people of that. And, while we're at, we must be sure to refer to her as Reverend Court at every possible opportunity.

Renaming the Margaret Court Arena seems petty to me - the Reverend was a great tennis champion 50 years ago. In her career she won 24 grand slam victories - no tennis player since has done that - Roger Federer has 20, and Serena Williams has 23 so far.

Reverend Court's horrible, divisive, small-minded bigotries don't change that 50 years ago she was really good at hitting a ball in a 200 square meter rectangle to best a single opponent at a time when Tennis was an exclusive sport, played only by gifted amateurs. The moment Williams achieves her 25th grand slam victory, Reverend Court will become an historical footnote, and the answer to a pub-trivia question.

It's my view that we absolutely *must* celebrate that achievement with all the seriousness it deserves.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 23%. (I'm a bot)


> GENEVA - A Swiss court on Monday threw out a case against a dozen climate activists who were on trial for storming a Credit Suisse office in Lausanne, Switzerland, and playing tennis inside - part of a protest against the bank's investments in fossil fuels that has ensnared its brand ambassador Roger Federer.

> Lawyer Aline Bonard, among a legal team deployed to defend the Lausanne Climate Action activists, said the court in suburban Renens acquitted the defendants over the stunt that riffed off Federer's role with the bank.

> The defendants had refused to pay fines handed down after the incursion at a Lausanne office of the Swiss bank in November 2018.

> The bank had argued that it could not tolerate "Unlawful attacks" on its branches.

> Lausanne Climate Action says Credit Suisse is one of the top banks worldwide to invest in fossil fuels, making available more than $7.8 billion to nearly four dozen companies that are said to be "Extreme" users of dirty fossil fuels and multiplying 16-fold its financing for coal from 2016 to 2017.Credit Suisse said in a statement that it "Takes note of the verdict and will analyze it."

> Last week, the bank said combating global warming is "Important" and that it has recently announced "In the context of its global climate strategy that it will no longer invest in new coal-fired power plants."
