General News Snippets from the Tour

[Mastoor]

I hoped to watch the exhibition, but I couldn't find the link anywhere. Does anyone know did they play?

Before the draw for next year Davis Cup, I read Serbian tennis fans hoped that Spain will come to Serbia so they watch Rafa in Belgrade. It will be Russia instead.

The Exhibition went very well apparently. Nadal was not dead serious like he always is and they made a real good show.

The money collected goes to children in need in Serbia, so : Muchas gracias Nadal. Es muy apreciado.
I am so grateful for this, that I promise I won't be bashing Rafa for a week.

It is good that they managed to play 2 full sets, so they are probably not injured after all.

This is No1e imitating Fabio a night earlier and I think it was hilarious:

Coric has to go through the knee surgery so 2016 season has finished for him

I don't think that's an insult, or meant as one. Rafa IS dead serious when he plays real matches, and it's a good thing. Apparently, he's always dead serious even when he plays golf.

This is not good news.

[Moxie]

Thanks, JLLB. You know Frances Tiafoe is the youngster I'm hoping most for.

Coric won't play DC final, Dodig'll replace him I guess

WC for Delpo in Stckholm

 

[Mastoor]

While we are awaiting Sharapova's sentence reduction, her ex fiance is said to be very close to a marriage with 12 years his senior Nicole Scherzinger. Did you know that? I was shocked.

If you wonder where No1e is, he is tramping around mountain Kopaonik, that is where he learned to play tennis.

Tennis-Kyrgios banned for Shanghai tantrums

Oct 17 Nick Kyrgios has been banned for eight tournament weeks for his conduct during his defeat at the Shanghai Masters, the governing body for men's tennis (ATP) said on Monday.

"The suspension will be reduced to three tournament weeks upon agreement that the player enters a plan of care under the direction of a sports psychologist..." the ATP said in a statement.

 

[britbox]

^ Pretty hefty suspension by the ATP... but deserved IMO. Nick's going to have to learn the hard way.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

From what I read in a statement released from Tennis Australia,Nick has agreed to see a sports psychologist.I also agree with the suspension,hopefully Nick can learn from his latest outburst and improve as a person first and foremost.
