Rachel Balkovec said she heard congrats from many people, but Billie Jean King stands out. She said she had looked up to her for a long time. Balkovec's reaction: "Okay, I can die now. My career's over."

Another interesting tidbit in this story: If Djokovic fails in his appeal, he could be barred from entering Australia for three years under the rules.
Djokovic's appeal of his visa denial claims he tested positive for the coronavirus in mid-December, something he had not revealed publicly until this week. Via

...and some personal news:
After 3+ years at the NYT's international desk, covering Lat Am alongside the smartest, most talented team I could hope for, I'm going to books, to lead news coverage.
The first was a dream job - the second... I never even dreamed I'd have the chance.
We are delighted to announce that Juliana Barbassa (
@jbarbassa
) will be the new deputy for news and features on the
@nytimesbooks
desk.

The Beijing Olympics next month will be the first Winter Games since the brain of a U.S. Olympic bobsledder who died by suicide in 2020 was found to have CTE, the degenerative brain disease caused by multiple head traumas.

Glad we wrote about this -- I heard about it from the Cracking the Cryptic guys so I'm sure the puzzlers will be having fun with it.

So many good details from
@Kellen_Browning
and
@kevinmdraper
in this look at the rise of John Madden in the video game world. He was much more than just the dude on the cover at the beginning.

A day after the NHL announced a pause in its schedule because of a surge in coronavirus cases, the NBA on Tuesday said that it had no plans to shut down for Christmas.

The NHL is set to announce that its players will skip the Beijing Olympics, reversing its earlier position and signaling, clearly, that it is more concerned with getting its own games in.
