A guy that has been living in the USA for a long time, right?

Since Dmitry was a young teenager for sure and he's got to be 40 by now. Maybe he moved back to Russia in recent years? In the past, he's been described as a California boy and if you've ever heard him speak, I'm serious when I say, I tend to think Kenin speaks with a stronger Russian accent than he does.

Wonder what visa problem he's having. UK isn't banning Russians from entry to visit or work there, which has been a large part of the backlash that Wimbledon has faced. But maybe countries are slow rolling the visa approvals for Russian passports even if they aren't outright banned.

Most countries that have sanctioned Russia have stopped or limited consular processes within the country - so you can't get a visa processed even if eligible. For example, although Russians aren't banned from the EU, it is virtually impossible to get a new visa, only a couple countries are still processing them.

I did think Tursunov had US Permanent Residency, but he hasn't been living in the US for some time - he was married for some years to a jewelry designer who is based in Dubai and has a kid. So he may have lost the green card.

And even if he still had it can US permanent residents travel to EU visa free? I'd think that's only for citizens.

You're right of course, big brain fart here.

Leos Friedl will now coach Pliskova. He worked with her last US Open when Bajin was having visa problems.

This one suggests it was Wisette who left? Can't be sure, maybe reading too much into some headline

It is not totally clear, bur being him the one that made the announcement, it would seem the default setting.

Big Sascha has a great interview on the new episode of the Craig Shapiro Podcast. Said the he had to make Osaka do embarrassing things in public to get over her self-consciousness on court, that he and Serena are on good terms, and that he would love to work with Raducanu (he’s not worried about the turnover). And Anisimova.

Also, he won’t take another gig until the after the US Open - he has had offers - and will hit with anyone for free on Sundays in Miami. When and where TBA. So if you live nearby or want to meet me there…
