Re: Tennis Players Random, Random 2.0
That was going to be my next question. Why the fox? The only connection I can make is that he is a redhead and foxes are reddish too.

Re: Tennis Players Random, Random 2.0
Apparently he's fox like - foxy - devious maybe? I don't know.
What is his nickname?
Sinner is known as “The Fox” or “Jan the Fox.”

Re: Tennis Players Random, Random 2.0
I have no idea. I feel like they are assuming it is obvious, so do people think he looks like a fox? Is sly like a fox? Is crazy like a fox? I don't understand the nickname. I figured it was something already existing to make a logo out of it. But, for real, I'm missing what it is. There are things that I get what they are going for, I just don't agree that it's an apt nickname. Here, I have no idea where fox entered the conversation.

Re: Tennis Players Random, Random 2.0
I was curious about the charity that Davidodich-Fokina (we need to shorten that to ADF, please) is supporting, ADOPTAS.ORG. So I went to it and found out he is not supporting it, he owns it. The entire website is his, and it is sort of a database on animal shelters and how to adopt pets (dogs, cats and others).
My hat off to this guy. Move to the front group of players to respect, Mr ADF.

And he's done this before becoming really famous - so we know that it's genuine, and not just a phony public relations stunt.
(I just hope he doesn't start bringing the animals to his matches as fashion accessories! )

Fantastic! Hopefully others will share it more publicly as well.

Re: Tennis Players Random, Random 2.0
Not remotely a fan of this ADF stuff. It has no rhythm or flow to it. Might I suggest we just take a note from Alex, he calls himself FOKI on his social media accounts. Way more personality in that.
