From banter to bike races: the social round-up

There has been so much good banter, this is a social round-up you don’t want to miss…

One of the advantages of social media for professional players like Alexander Bublik is that they can reach out to fans when they need help:

Someone please send me my tweener lob in the third set tiebreaker today ???????????????????????? #shotoftheyear haha

— Sasha Bublik (@AlexanderBublik) May 24, 2017

But the rising star soon found out that doesn’t make him exempt from some light-hearted teasing from colleagues:

Twitter world please, he is annoying the entire @rolandgarros players lounge with his hotshot…can someone find it @AlexanderBublik https://t.co/HVg58lZH0F

It is the perfect platform to make fun of your friends, as doubles star Bruno Soares has done with sometimes-partner Marcelo Melo:

@marcelomelo83 is on his way to Paris for Roland Garros. Good luck buddy ????????????

If you enjoy some awkward banter, you can always rely on Naomi Osaka to deliver:

We love it when champions, such as Rafael Nadal and Victoria Azarenka, tweet too:

Great to hear that @vika7 will be coming back for the @MallorcaOpen! Enjoy the great tournament and the island!

— Rafa Nadal (@RafaelNadal) May 24, 2017

Thank you Rafa! Looking forward to visit and compete! Good luck at Roland Garros ???? https://t.co/jzpxLpwpvv

The US Fed Cup team are among the most prolific tweeters – and love a good inside joke:

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the tennis world…

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Milos Raonic took a picturesque stroll to a practice court together:
