It's the final Sunday of August, and we're getting things started this week with a Sceencaps favorite, Rachel Stuhlmann. She's a former tennis player turned influencer who OutKick dubbed the world's No. 1 tennis influencer.
It's a title she didn’t take lightly when it was first handed out a few years back. She went all in on doing her part to grow the game of tennis through social media content, and I'm happy to report she's still at it.
Rachel, who now considers herself to be the "World’s 1st Tennis Influencer," is back at the U.S. Open churning out content.
She's on the court. She's at the parties. And she's even teaming up with retired tennis player Genie Bouchard.
Wherever tennis needs her is where you'll find Rachel Stuhlmann. She isn’t just handing out tips on a random court far away from the action. She's on the ground at events and that's intentional.
"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," she 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."
Rachel added, "Because I work across so many areas of professional tennis, whether it's hosting, media, partnerships, or content strategy, I have access to stories and experiences that most fans don't get to see. That's what I try to share."
The strategic storytelling is some of the best strategic storytelling you're going to find, especially when it comes to the sport of tennis.

Hey SeanJo,
First day of FBS college football, and I don’t care if it’s Week 0, it’s BACK! We’ve had the games on all day since I got home from a looooonnnngggg bike ride (half Ironman training).
Wife has been enjoying watching football with me the past 13+ years, even if my Dolphins have been good to average to awful for a long time. At least her Lions look good. She wants to go to an FAU Owls game, but ever since Lane Kiffin rehabbed his career and bolted for the SEC, they’ve been bad.
Originally, I was going to grill up some ribeyes tonight, but something more simple made more sense for college football’s return. I was all about hot dogs, but decided cheeseburgers were more appropriate. Potato salad from Publix plus some Doritos on the side, and a Miller 64 (I burned a lot of calories).
The Tecovas beer coozie was free after buying my wife two pairs of cowboy boots in the past year from the local store
