Tomic'll play Los Cabos challenger instead of Rio's OG
Australian Fed is mad at him

Well it wasn't like he was really going to compete for anything except getting ill from the water! :cover :nono

Isner also has said that he would rather play Atlanta than Rio.

Roger still leads in Big Titles . But, things are likely to change in few more months.

This is awesome news. Another grass court tournament in an amazing place. I should know, I taught tennis in Antalya for 6 years ! This is the perfect place for players to bring families and enjoy the week in a very laid back environment.

Good to see another grass tournament. It looks like Turkey doubled the number of tourneys it hosts.

Berdych fired Daniel Valverdu (his coach) I guess he has scomething to do with the double bagel he ate in Roma

I'd of kept Dani around just for the eye candy! :ras:

Going by media reports (unconfirmed by Federer himself yet), Roger may not be playing Roland Garros. Doesn't sound too good.

I read on twitter, Nadal will play in the mixed doubles at the Olympics with Muguruza

 

[isabelle]

Paire fired his coach, wild Benoit'll play RG with no coach around, maybe it's better like that since he refuses to follow good advices

That is terrible. Hope he recovers in time and gets a fairly easy draw so that he can get some match practice before the grass season starts. It looks like the end is coming lot sooner than any of us expected. :cry

Interesting news that JMac is joining Milos's coaching team. Hmmm....

Ticker at the bottom of TSN. No details.

Thanks. It seems that this relationship will be in place for the grass season only, which makes sense, since Moya is not exactly known for his grass resume.

There was a report on our TSN, during the rain delay, talking about John Mac working with Milos this year in the grass season.
They have showed already a practice session today, with John attending. Good stuff.

I watched it too. It cannot hurt. And if things go smooth they might have a future together. Such different characters though. Who knows, sometimes that is what you need.

Roger's back training. Actually this is from May 27th and he was apparently fit enough to play RG but just lacking in match play. He must be gutted seeing how everyone is playing and no Nadal. Fully fit he probably would've had a very good chance of going deep here with how badly everyone is playing, including Novak.
