Naomi Osaka wrote earlier this month of feeling outside of her own body as she finds her game again. What helped Tuesday? Lots of time of hard courts and embracing some lime-green maximalism: wapo.st/4cNkgNE

Good odds we’re going to see a lot of basketball infiltrating the U.S. Open today with Tiafoe-Shelton second on Ashe. Fun to see Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd sitting with Coco Gauff’s team!

Lots of questions re: the Sky's firing of Teresa Weatherspoon. Zooming out, our research (Nef David Berri) looked at trends in WNBA head coach firings over 25 years. Controlling for on-court performance, Black women were nearly 3.5 times as likely to be fired as white men

It’s Sunday! The Washington Spirit is in the NWSL final and we’ve got women’s soccer in not one, not two, but three sections of the Washington Post print edition. D1 in Sports. (With a great shot of Hal Hershfelt after That Goal.) C1 in Metro. And the group shot on A1. 📰

News today: Michele Kang is giving $30 million to U.S. Soccer to support its women's + girls' programs. USSF will add more YNT camps + female coaches/refs and build out the talent ID platform. A boost for the USWNT youth pipeline, which has been a big focus point post-World Cup.

Joined Ava Wallace and Steven Goff today on Post Reports, The Washington Post’s daily podcast, to chat about the NWSL ahead of Saturday’s final. (!!) We talked Spirit vs. Pride, attendance booms, media deals and how far women’s pro soccer has come. ⬇️ open.spotify.com/episode/1NyDvk…

We’re past the initial boom in women’s college basketball, and what we’ve got now looks a lot like [increased] parity [at the top]. I talked to coaches, ADs, players and other decision-makers in the sport about the leveling of the playing field: wapo.st/3DWp1cl
