credibly so? And do you mean the story here on TAT has gotten dark, or out there in the world?

In the world--original reports who were sourcing a Belarussian publication had incorrect details

Uh can you tell us in a roundabout way what has changed? I just did a search and I didn't see anything different from what was reported yesterday.

Cause of death was originally reported as blood clots

happy to see Townsend doing well.. best volleyer in the world! can she beat Mertens, though?

the court does seem a tad faster than IW.. still on the slow side, though

Vekic vs Pliskova- The court is too slow for Vekic, so 60% Pliskova...though it is really foolish to bet on or against Pliskova!

Surprisingly Sloane won vs Kerber in straight sets 6-2, 6-3.

yes, saw a bit of the highlights.. Sloane played really well, and Kerber missed a couple of her favorite forehands down the line..

I thought Sabalenka was supposed to play her first round match today. Not on the schedule. Maybe she asked for an extra day?

She is playing Friday per ESPN. In the same article, it mentions that she and Koltsov were no longer together.

Yes, they had broken up. Apparently, she was with another guy in Indian Wells (maybe before then, unreported) and traveled to Miami with him (apropos of nothing, on Grigor's jet - rented, I assume). Surely Konstantin was in Miami for Sabalenka - to talk to her or something like that.

Happy to see Taylor won..beat Mertens,..TT is probably the best volleyer in the game ..m or f
