Not a #USOpen advertiser I’d expect:
Ben Crump, the attorney who notably represented the families of George Floyd Breonna Taylor, and Trayvon Martin, has a patch on Tomas Machac’s sleeve.
Sometimes the bumps on the road are painful and frustrating. But we all know there are no easy or fast way to fulfil our dreams. Every experience is learning, that will make the foundation so strong that no one or nothing can break us in the end.
I am not satisfied with my results, but still I have to remember I am 21, I am top 15 in the world , the highest ranked male ever in my county. So when media, “experts “ and randoms call me shit, I take it as a bizarre compliment. They are expecting more from me, and faster . I too love when everything moves in F1 speed towards the goal 🏁but life is not always like that😉To every young person or player out there losing in sports or feeling like a failure , be strong, it’s part of the road to success 🫶🏼a certain amount of darkness is needed to enjoy the daylight ☀️ #keepfighting #keepworking#keepbelieving
@tennis_poetry@AmyLundyDahl Yeah she could’ve phrased better maybe but I do get her point. It is not like the Murray we’ve seen post hip injury has been challenging for top titles or even playing a full calendar reliably; it’s odd to see him gone but he’s been whittling away for a while
Federer fans accusing Novak of vulturing a weak era.
Rafa fans accusing Novak of doping.
Seems to me that schools should have courses on self-awareness, probably next to the mathematics ones.

@ATNtennis Darren Cahill is the current ATP coach of the year. He has now been involved with the coaching of Andre Agassi, Fernando Verdasco, Simona Halep and Jannik Sinner. All of these players have failed doping tests for taking banned substances.
Make of that what you will.
Sends the message loud and clear that if you are deemed a star and “next big thing” from a very young age, you will always get special treatment. You will always be given the benefit of the doubt, you will be protected by the organizations that be. It isn’t fair. Life isn’t fair.
I love that the list of places with top-tier pro tennis tournaments is like:
—Paris
—London
—New York
—Rome
—Palm Springs
—Shanghai
—suburban Cincinnati
—Monaco
Stefanos Tsitsipas absolutely slammed his father after losing to Nishikori in Montreal.
“I need and I deserve a coach that listens to me and hears my feedback as a player. My father hasn't been very smart or very good at handling those situations, it's not the first time he has done that. I'm really disappointed at him. I really don't know right now if I'd consider any changes, but I'm really disappointed. The most important thing for a player is to have direct and good feedback from a coach. The coach is not the one holding a racket. The player is the one trying to execute a game plan. It's a collaborative work that you put in together. It has to be reciprocal in order for me to try to develop my tennis. It's something I don't want to get stuck at that."
Shocking stuff.
