And Emma lands British Airways as a new sponsor.
Truly, it makes total sense. She will be flying a lot in the next few years. But then again, they never even made a move for Johanna, or Andy. Or I just simply missed it.

No one outside of tennis knows Konta. Murray when he was young wasn't liked internationally enough, then probably became too expensive.

I like the attitude of Badosa here. The clothes are unfortunately what is in style right now.

I'm sure Andy would identify himself Scottish first and foremost.

Remember he made that brief sketch and the little girl asked him "Are you British or Scottish?". And he replied "I am British when I win, Scottish when I lose".
Sure, he has never said anything else than him being Scottish, but in lieu of Scottish Airways, BA would have done it.

Konta? Ha! Heather Watson is much more likely to have gotten that kind of endorsement than Johanna. She's run circles around Johanna in endorsements.

Not a fan of this photo. Or the photo shoot in general. Think she looks the least attractive that I've seen her.

Seb Korda caddied for his sister over the weekend at the PNC Championship and got to meet Tiger. It's a family competition, so Nelly competed with Petr.

More from the Badosa shoot. I think I'll still go with the black and white one.

Yep. Just leave it to the real professionals in beauty to make a very pretty girl look ugly.
The second shot with the black socks... shoot the person with that idea.

Like I said, not a fan of this photo shoot in general. I had already seen these photos when I made that comment and seeing them again reinforces my original sentiment, it's the least attractive I've seen her look. Vogue Spain botched a rather easy assignment, and they got bested by Elle Spain for sure.
