She has been on break for too long. I wonder in what shape she will be when she comes back, and how much her skills will drop.

Might be offset by a renewed enthusiasm. She won't forget how to play winning tennis. Playing a lot never seemed to help. She has to be really excited about tennis, and motivated.

I have said this before. This is a game of such precision that staying away from the court for long will always affect you. And she was a made player, so coming back to any level will take a lot of work.
Hope I am wrong, of course, and that you are right. I hope the motivation will be all there.

Speaking of returning to the tour, Kevin Anderson is unretiring, and will play in Newport for his first tournament back.

I would call this a must watch - very engaging guys talking like no one is watching.

Eubanks has already started his commentator career with Tennis channel last year, and he has some skills to keep that going once he's finished playing.

At one point Ben does ask him to let him finish though.

Upcoming tennis star Mirra Andreeva is rumored to try to gain French citizenship, just as her compatriot Varvara Gracheva recently did. After all, Andreeva lives and trains in France.Andreeva remarked herself once again at this year's Wimbledon.

At just 16 years old, she got until the round of 16, where she was defeated in 3 sets by Madison Keys.To apply for citizenship, two of the conditions are to live in France for at least 5 years and to pass the French language exam, just as Gracheva did last year.

That's all? Live there for 5 years and pass the language test?
I applied for Colombian citizenship FOUR YEARS AGO. The process is still pending (I have lived here for 12). And the test for citizenship is a comprehensive test of THE CONSTITUTION and HISTORY of the country, plus miscellaneous questions about geography and culture.
I barely passed.

Her accent sounds French to me. I was wondering about this.
