From a loaded weekend of play, here's a sampling of the latest social-media foibles and feats from the tennis elite and observers.

Eugenie Bouchard lost to Andreea Mitu in Montreal, and the Fed Cup account itself sent up the young Romanian's achievement with a pun:

Andrea Petkovic suffered a deciding doubles loss as Germany fell to Russia in Fed Cup semifinal action, but she still summoned a refreshing display of sportsmanship—before summoning a few Deutsch brews to wash away the disappointment.

Timea Bacsinszky certainly did her part in Switzerland's defeat of Poland, including weathering just five games lost between two singles matches against the sisters Radwanska. "TimiBacs" dutifully celebrated the victories:

Meanwhile, Madison Keys, who played Fed Cup hooky this weekend, soaked up the California sun at Coachella alongside ATP World Tour compatriots Sam Querrey, Bradley Klahn, and Steve Johnson:
