The tennis world is very quite. However here are some news I was reading online:
ATP New York: Isner overpowers Tomic. Lorenzi, Albot and Thompson prevail

Lleyton Hewitt drops cheeky troll on Bernard Tomic at New York Open

I don't know, this so called war between Hewitt and Tomic is really putting a lot of strain on the relationship and performance of the Australian Tennis. This has been going on for quite sometime now that Australian Tennis is a mess right now, and it looks like there are factions inside, that really hurt the players individually and as a team representing their country. Haven't seen @vella85, but I'm sure he can shed some light on the issue, since he lives down under. Grin

I really don't know what's the reason why the split with Sascha Bajin. She is doing good winning back-to-back Grand Slam titles under him, as the saying goes "don't fix it if it ain't broken". So this is quite a big surprise, to say the least.

This is really strange, but it looks like that everything is not good between Osaka and Bajin.

There are a lot of great coaches out there, I'm wondering why not get someone who really knows the game like past champions?

If I understood it correctly, based on the article, it seems that Sascha Bajin is not really a full time coach but somewhat just a training partner? Yes? then she has every right to look for new coach so that she can still improve and win more grand slams.

Yeah that is the one thing that Bouchard is lacking and that is dedication to play tennis and win again. She just needs to concentrate on tennis and then she'll be back to her best and maybe even start challenging for the Grand Slams. We all can see she has the talent and become a great player but its up to her if she wants it or not.

Guys let's move on from Bouchard hehe
I see she was beautiful.

Is there any tennis match today which I can enjoy and use some extra money to bet?

Cheers :-)

There is the ATP New York open and ATP Buenos Aires in Argentina.
Some recoginzable names in both these tournaments. Like Fognini and Theim in the argentina one and Sam Querrey in the New York one.

Bouchard is still beautiful!

Well I guess we are all waiting for the big tournaments to start and that is why most of us are talking about other related things to do with tennis. Right now most of the tournaments going on are indoor tournaments with no top players playing. The only tournament which I see that is well worth watching is the WTA tournament in Qatar where there is a number of top Women players playing. Halep and Kerber won their matches and are through to the quarter finals so if you are looking to bet then maybe check this tournament out.

People still wait to see her game , not used to . She is great , mistakes happen the general crowd should be more apologetic in few matters if you ask me . Bouchard had similar entrance like Sharapova to tennis field but she spoiled that herself.

Oh yh I will also would like to see her in the court hehe
Who is this Bouchard by the way?

Best emerging women player in 2014 Royse and then she concentrated on modelling more .
Here you go , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenie_Bouchard

Yeah it was a shame that she went down the modelling road instead of concentrating on her tennis as she was a great player and was even up there with the best a few years ago. I really think that if Bouchard concentrated on her tennis that she would of won a GS by now. But it hasn't just been her modelling that set her back, she also had a injury which really set her back as she lost a year playing because of the injury. I still think she can get back to her best if she just concentrates on her tennis as she is still young and has the talent to be a great player.

That's exactly my thought . She is young and has got what it takes except dedication . Look at players like Osaka or take example of Karlovic , he came back fighting a major disease and won many tourneys . You can't step in two boats at a time .

Thanks for that. I have no prior knowledge about her. Seems like struggling with form and injury led her to leave tennis?

So I would assume you guys agree that Anna Kournikova should be on the list of influential and most important figures in tennis?

I think in terms of influence yes I would have to agree. She really open the doors and changes how the public "view" womens tennis in particular. Previously, if you're not into tennis, chances are your not going to be interested how good a player is. But when she arrives with his beauty, tennis went up a notch on tv ratings and it open doors for other women to follow but with no success, until Maria Sharapova arrived and now we have seen new breed of beauty and power.

There are no doubt that she helped women tennis to get publicity. I remember people used to talked about how beautiful she is, how she jumps in the court. People used to wait for her game to watch. When Kournikova is playing everyone is watching her and supporting her even knowing that she will lose the match.

I can give you a recent observation. How many of us wait for a women tennis match now a days. There were time when we waited to see Martina Hingis, Maria Sharapova, Anna Kournikova, Serena Williams, Venus Williams.

As far as I can remember, she really did good on doubles tournament, but singles was horrible for her as she has to keep with other ladies during his prime. So I guess she just decided to stick to her second choice, which is modelling or appearing in music videos with Enrique Iglesias (that I can remember) lol.

Apparently, I was looking to know who is her spouse but failed to find any except Iglesias as her partner. Is she still single? hehe

Edit-
Ok I missed,

How can you have a 16-year relationship in Hollywood and keep it under the radar? It's possible, just ask Enrique Iglesiasand Anna Kournikova—They're pros. They're so great, they even hid an entire pregnancy and birth of twins. Today, E! News confirms that the couple welcomed twins over the weekend, a boy and a girl.

^^ Hehehe.

I didn't read the article but I don't know how Anna K. influence tennis in a positive way? Well she burst into the scene and everybody loves her because she has the talent. But maybe when she realise that she can make more money without exerting any effort by just go modelling, then her talents started to went from good to worst and thats it. We never heard anything from her ever since.

I read the article a clever way to make the article go viral using controversy, it’s a common strategy used these days. I had even forgotten her name till I read the article, while she definitely didn’t influence the sport she has won a doubles tournament. I won’t condem her for her choice, if I remember right in those days she was getting quiet a lot of attention so getting into modeling was a logical choice.
