BTW Zverev is having a training block at Rafa's Academy just saw some highlights via a video

Gee former No 4 in the world Jack Draper (147) who hasnt a PR anymore is on the entry list ATP Challenger Brownsburg tournament

Sounds like there's a lot to fix in Ben's game..

Yes, Keli and I have wanted Ben to get another coach than his dad, who really hasnt helped in his development as a player, look all players have some shots or serves etc that needs to be addressed, his return game to me is one area that needs development, yes he might have a weapon in his serve, his fhand is his best shot, though his return game lets him down, defense, also he needs better rally tolerance, too quick to try to end points which often ends in a UFE.

Marin Cilic and his long time coach Vilim Visak for his officially ended their partnership
Cilic thanking Visak for his guidance especially Cilic's 2022 SF run to RG and 2024 Hangzhou Open victory
Cilic has yet to announce a new coach

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Medvedev and FAA are both officially out of ATP500 Citi DC Washington tournament
Both let go their respective coaches following Wimbledon so an additional week before getting going on the hard court in Canada makes sense.

BTW,
Jordan Lee Boys Singles Champion at Wimbledon and runner up Cruz Hewitt have both been awarded qualifying wild cards into ATP500 Citi DC Washington

Mrzz Hi

I read that Tomic won a challenger, he said he was going to retire at the end of this year and now he said he might rethink? gee his last challenger win was at Mallorca, Spain, way back in 2018, his ranking soared up to 36 places after the title win, now world no 170

What about the hot girlfriend who left when he was playing a match and he decided to retire.. Any updates on her...jajajaja

AP, ( I should have been a social investigator)
Here is the news you wanted on Bernard Tomic,

During a challenger tournament in May 2024, Tomic retired sick mid match, after a fight with his girl friend Keely Hannah, citing COVID 19, as the reason for his retirement.
BTW
Tomic is still with Keely Hannah and they welcomed their first child a baby girl named Astara Aurelia Tomic, born on April 5, 2026.

Stan Wawrinka has requested a wild card for the US Open,, there is also a challenger in Cancun, if he secures the invitation for New York, I will play the Challenger to get ready. Last year the organizers of the final Grand Slam over looked Wawrinka in their wild card selection. However, the Swiss is a former champion, he won the tournament in 2016 defeating Djokovic in the final, he is expected to receive a wild card in his farewell season.

Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from Montreal,( frankly I am not surprised he needs to prioritize his health, not make the same mistakes he and his team made in the clay season, to me he should have skipped Madrid and rested for Roma, hindsight is a wonderful thing, his main objective now is Cinncy and USO) Djokovic also has withdrawn
Zverev becomes the top seed
FAA becomes the 2nd seed

I would really like to see Felix win his first Masters 1000, he has been R/U twice, yet no word on his new coach, he withdrew from the upcoming ATP500 Citi DC Washington

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Learner Tien and Tommy Paul have joined Team World, Captain Andre Agassi has chosen Tien and Paul to complete his roaster for the upcoming Laver Cup, joining Ben Shelton, Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz and Alexander Bublik

It would fitting if he played Novak in the first or 2nd round.

Lets wait and see the draw first I am certain Stan will get a wild card he is a former champion, this will be his last USO GS slam
