The greatest tweets of 2018, a thorough compilation

Another year of pro tennis in the history books, with the Big Three on the ATP side seizing on all the major singles titles while three first-time singles Slam winners plus Angelique Kerber won the WTA crowd's biggest titles. Apropos of everything, they tweeted. Hardly reserving social media posts purely for their New York hotel sponsors during the US Open and then their offseason vacations, the pros let fly with barrages of tweets and more over the course of 11 months plus. Here's the pick of the litter of their tweets, and you can chase that with the season's top quotes here.

1

Jamie Murray the Doubles Artist knows his place in this (pasty) world:

2

Ever the self-effacing type, that Denis Shapovalov:

3

Roger Federer remains all class, even on (read: especially on) Twitter.

4

Andy Roddick managed to simultaneously send up Kanye West and salute perennial foil Federer.

5

Forget strawberries and cream. For Angelique Kerber, sweet dreams were made of this at SW19.

6

Players, currently active and retired both, were hardly short on opinions about announced Davis Cup format changes. Among them, major doubles legends/titlists Todd Woodbridge and Anabel Medina Garrigues:

7

Naomi Osaka had "thots" (as the kids say; wait, do the kids still say that?) on Michael B. Jordan inviting her to his Creed 2 film premiere:

8

Agnieszka Radwanska retired from the pro game, and among the best tweeted ovations for her were those via sister Urszula Radwanska and former sponsor (oh yes, sweet yes) Cheesecake Factory.

9

The always-embeddable Osaka again, this time apprising her 0-3 showing at the WTA's season-ending championship.

10

We defy you to find a better tone on Twitter than good-natured Canadian sass.
