Re: Tennis Random, Random
This is the moment that, if there were a commissioner for the sport, Stefanos would be called to the office and asked: "What do you mean the majority of coaches are coaching on court?".
Well, I admit it is my peeve. If it were up to me, I would slap a "warning" if the coach as much as sneezes. But with his relationship with his dad, this is as close as a confession as you can get.

That's just odd, honestly.

I hadn't noticed that detail. Indeed, why bring it back in that form?

Re: Tennis Random, Random
There was a statement put out earlier today from the German tennis federation praising Zverev's win. It also mentioned allegations against former "girlfriends" (their word not mine) and that he is taking steps to be a better person. Of course I read it when I woke up a few hours ago and it will be almost impossible to find it now because too much time has passed on the bird app. I read it before this post was made.

Re: Tennis Random, Random
Judging by the way it sounds, there will be plenty of more articles to be read.

Re: Tennis Random, Random
Why would an article force the ATP to make a policy? Is he getting charged with anything? Is there at least a civil case against him? Because Basilashvili has been criminally charged and they haven't done anything differently from what I can tell, not sure why an article would get any traction in that direction.

Basilashvili is facing three years in the joint but tennis is like "nothing to see here." Amazing.JazzNU wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 8:07 pm Why would an article force the ATP to make a policy?

I think it's been said here before. You can't compare the ATP/WTA/ITF with the NFL/MLB/NBA. I'm not sure about FIFA. The way the athletes relate to their umbrella organizations is different. The fact that the NFL has imposed C19 Guidelines that tennis hasn't even thought about doing says it all. It's up to the individual tournaments to set guidelines.

TL;dr
Consensual adult sexual relations.

Yastremska previously denied this story when it first came out. The ex is/was a wrestler/weightlifter and the substance involved is banned in his sport as well. The boyfriend said he was paid to corroborate the story and she issued the following statement.

Re: Tennis Random, Random
Step aside Emma Raducanu. The US tennis hype machine is going full blast for Jenson Brooksby who is having a good summer run in the US. Someone is already asking about GS prospects so I'm guessing he'll get a nice draw in New York.

Re: Tennis Random, Random
Who are more desperate? The USA for a male champion, or the UK for a female one?
I still say the UK has a better prospect there. But, also, there is very little tennis going on, so Brooksby's story is sort of alright.
If he gets to the 3rd round of the USO, he will deserve his own topic
(No, we won't)

Re: Tennis Random, Random
Why Brooksby anyway instead of equally young and perhaps more promising Korda or Nakashima?

Re: Tennis Random, Random
Brooksby is in the semis, Korda and Nakashima lost already.
Flavor of the week, sort of thing. I guess.
