So I read on the Telegraph that Becker's financial woes were brought on by investing in Nigerian oil companies before they took a turn for the worse. That happened in 2009 I think, post the global financial crisis. Sounds like he sank his entire net worth into it! Don't these people comprehend risk reward! :banghead:

Lol! That would be even worse! You'll be shocked at some of the people that have been done by those. I heard the Finance Minister of the last apartheid govt was scammed by a 419 email as well!

I saw on multiple sources that Ferrero will be on A Zverev´s team for the US Open (or was the full North American swing?). Good, I like Ferrero a lot so I´ll root a bit more for Zverev.

ATP Chennai 250, a warm-up tourney to AO, will no longer be there. Instead, it will be in Pune (another Indian City) which outbid Chennai.

You may or may not be able to watch it all. But from now on, you can always hear the commentary on ATP tennis radio from anywhere in the world and while on move (from car, on mobile while walking etc). The commentary will cover all matches of ATP 1000 events and only the finals of ATP 500 matches. Starts right away.

Marin Cilic is engaged to his GF Kristina Milkovic (what a name!). Looks like wedding bells are expected to ring soon.

It's true. The mosquito was in the D.C. stands coaching Sasha in his match tonight.

I don't see that as automatic dream combo, but interesting.
