It is tough to find the ATP version of Serena. Even if, as I said, I would go with Roger
Yes, very hard to find an equivalent..@meganfernandez suggested Wawrinka..could be a better one

They just played each other in three consecutive ITF junior finals at the highest level. Linda won 2 and Brenda won 1. This tweet is from the R1 of last week's tournament, which Linda won.

Wow! That is awesome..thanks for sharing...

He was a competitive skier before he chose time full-time, right? He had to choose between skiing and tennis.

Sincerely, if I were his coach, I would hide his skis. Even if you are pretty good skiing can lead to some bad injuries if you fall. He was going down a groomed slope, but anything other than that, I would avoid (if I were him) until after retirement.

Definitely a risk.

Jannik was grew up in a town filled with ski resorts and his parents worked at one of them. He was a competitive skiier when he was younger. Yeah, he's going to ski.

It's a risk sure, but something he loves. And having an issue with Jannik skiing but no issue with various other extracurriculars that can cause injury seems odd to me, many of them get applauded. I don't remember anyone on here telling Novak to stop skiing.

I'm guessing most people here wouldn't care if Novak hurt himself. I didn't know he skied. :)

He loves it. Takes the kids too. He's posted videos of himself on the slopes in the past, I think they're mostly in his Stories though. If you see Jannik's post on IG, he's one of the top comments. Similarly grew up around skiing and considered it over tennis.

And while it's true that Nole's well-being is not a big concern of mine these days, I've never wished injury on him. I just want him to stop being an angry jackass.

I said if I were his coach. If I were his buddy, I would be asking him to go down a black slope and teach me a bit.

No, Martina! It is basically prostitution of a reputation.

RHOM was a mess before I assume it'll be one again. I'm surprised the wife is a real housewife and not a friend of, that was the rumor and seemed more in line with what Martina would be okay with.
