Katie Haas has been promoted to CEO of the Western Southern Open!
Haas is currently the only female to hold the chief executive role at such a professional tennis event.

Any relation to the former top ten player, but always sizzling Tommy Haas?

I also thought that when I read it maybe she is related to Tommy Haas I will try to find out

What the hell is going on with the Young Greek defeated by a Russian Qualifer? lost 64 64 to Safiulin in Marseille
He is going to Mexico I suggest he takes a break and reset before IW

We've been so spoiled by the excellence of the Big 3 we can't explain away or allow a loss to anyone outside of that group! We won't ever see the same kind of dominance! We might as well accept it that players in the NG will never be even close to their "like" unfortunately!

Maybe he wants to keep his strength for Acapulco? that one is going to be a very competitive tournament

Your right,still I feel he has been over playing of late,his new coach was with him as well

I think most players are playing too much; esp. the top players desperate for $$ and points! That's where a lot of these losses come from IMO! All players, men and women are putting too much pressure on themselves to perform, and it can cease to be any fun on the tours! Novak seems to be quite happy while pulling back on his schedule! NG'rs don't have that luxury yet because they haven't "arrived!" Only time will tell how far they can go with the constant pressure and injuries that occur with so much playing tennis around the world!

 

[Carol]

How the can park the exhibition car inside of the court? it's crazy!

Agree with over playing,though at what cost down the track,the human body can only take soo much.Today it is more of a 'buisness' with players,chasing sponsership deals,big contracts etc.

I read on Twitter he will have to pay for the re-paint of the car which he marked,also which idoit let them park the car on the court for starters?

The players should complain about it

 

[kskate2]

Like Meddie complained about that camera on the court.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Nice words from both of them

What a mentor Jo could be to FAA!

 

[kskate2]

Man. I wish I knew FAA was playing JowillieTs...how did Jo play today.

Not bad. Flashes of brilliance mixed in w/ some errors. He's moving a lot better than he was last week in Rotterdam. I expect his level to increase as he plays more matches. By the time RG rolls around, he should be match tough.

Actually, when I saw Safiullin featuring again, I was wondering about him. It's easy to note his name, given the similarity to Safin. Is he someone to watch?

Well we will see tomorrow if he can keep up his level when he plays FAA in the s/final.

Jo is one of my favorites,he has flair and panache.Felix can a lot from Jo about having fun on court.A lot of these young players should learn to have fun on court especially Medvedev Rublev FAA and Zverev.
