Ha! (in re: MJF)
It's not a special feature like the "Big Babe Tennis" was. But she's talking about the Nadal semifinal. She also referred to it as a "red meat" match.
Mal: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan. River: He takes so much looking after.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

(Although I can't figure out why the 4th photo is in there, unless it's because it has a really fat person in it.)

Beware of Velociraptor Attacks from Above
If you still have nightmares about the fleet-footed Velociraptors from Jurassic Park, here is yet another reason to fear them. Paleontologists now believe that the predatory dinosaurs climbed trees, where they would wait to pounce on their prey.
Phil Manning of the University of Manchester has been examining the biomechanics of raptors, with an especial focus on the dinosaurs' claws, which Manning previously found were sharp enough to puncture skin, but probably could not tear it open. Manning now believes that the claws were better suited to climbing trees than ripping open prey, with the Velociraptor waiting for prey to appear below them and then leaping down, hooking its claws into a hapless animal and delivering a killing blow with its powerful teeth.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Really the only ones that need to be afraid of Velociraptors in Trees are those what believe in Intelligent Design.

Just when I thought Velociraptors couldn't get any cooler. Where is the government spending for reconstructing this species from DNA?

Really it's a win-win to move the funding. The Velociraptors will pick off the weak members of the herd, but the increased sex will make up for it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But she's talking about the Nadal semifinal.
I thought it was the Tsonga match.
The "red meat" comment was way objectifying beyond anything they said during their "big babe" run, but there's no way we'll hear anywhere near as much of it. Been and done, I'm sure.

Velociraptors in the 100 acre woods. That's just fanfic waiting to happen.
