Good for you to post that. How clueless could they be?

I guess they took his word for it. They have a history but it has been awhile since he coached her.

It was also probably a breakdown between social media and editorial.

Tennis magazine’s audience has traditionally been the US. It was an American magazine. Guessing their demo stats show it’s still the same.

Pretty bland article, to me. Just announcing what will happen this week.

That isn't what annoys me ..he is talking of matches in the middle of the night..for me, this swing is the best, that is where I live!

The USO is the worst for me, middle of the night . I know Tennis is an American magazine but they do have global pretensions. I once wrote to Wertheim complimenting him on being global and unbiased...he is the best at that..

Ok. I see.

Not the best place for this, but there's no other obvious thread. Racquet is in trouble. Not necessarily dead, but out of money.

Very interesting dirt

$100 (including shipping) for 4 issues... yes, probably better off to rebrand as a creative agency.

Do you at least get a tote bag?

I bet a lot of people paid it. You pay for the association. A lot of magazines are like that. Aspirational identity.

No tote bag. You can buy one of their merch collaboration totes for US$265.

Who remembers the player named Zuzana that Ben was obsessed with when he was just a little tennis TATeur? Was her last name Ondraskova? Craig Shapiro is interviewing Ben today or tomorrow for his next podcast, and I told him to throw out this name, see what he says. Is that the right Zuzana?

Correct on Ben liking Zuzana before he got famous. Think you got her last name correct.
