I love dogs - and cats, and all other animals. And I hate seeing them used as 'decorations' in this way.
They certainly don't belong at tennis tournaments.
I've often wondered who takes care of these animals, especially with their entourage trimmed.

My other hobby is car racing - and sometimes will be gone for 14 hours - so I have had to take my pooch. That is a much different environment I imagine

Serena and Venus started this cute dog thing. I think Venus pooch - his name escapes me now - was followed by Serena's yorkie Chip. He's a toy and I'm not sure if this Chip we're seeing is the original but he is still around. So is Venus' dog.

Serena and Venus can no doubt afford to have someone take care of their dogs when they travel with them. I have no idea how someone like Kalinskaya, who often needs to come up thru qualifying, is able to manage that. Since the dog was at the court, maybe no one other than her and her team.

I haven't read it, but ATP has a story up about Liam and Naomi Broady for anyone that might be interested. Based on tweets from the ATP, I believe it's at least somewhat talking about the unusualness of the brother-sister pairing on tour. https://www.atptour.com/en/news/liam-na ... 21-feature

Halep all Louis Vuitton'ed out too I see. That small purse is meant to go inside of a larger one but whatever. Naomi's ad for them apparently has everyone and their mother with about $2k burning a hole in their pocket wanting the bag she featured. I'll look for the pic.

The only problem for Naomi is that she is running out of possible endorsements. She is basically signed for everything.

^^ Also, all indications are pointing to Lauren McHale and Ryan Harrison splitting up sometime in the last year. He's been scrubbed from her IG account and given they've been together a very long time and were married, that takes away a lot of content and isn't easy to do.

Who knows? This dynamic is not uncommon: one of them wants to get married. The other no. They split. The one that said NO caves in, really feels the other is worth keeping, and the reunion involves taking the next step.
Hope they are happy for a long time.
BTW: she looks gorgeous.
