That sounds like a positive move for her. Talking of Murray do you think he will play mixed doubles with Emma? Been a few rumours they might, that would be fun.

I think that would be a good fun pairing if he did happen, Murray is an excellent grass player, also not bad at doubles either.

"I was having dinner with Ellen Perez and I was like, Ellen I'm not playing doubles with you anymore, it got serious now.
Now I'm not accepting to play doubles with anyone with less than 20 Grand Slams".

Ons Jabeur.

Naomi Osaka starts a media company, with the help of LeBron James, entertainment company called Hana Kuma.

So she starts a sports management company and then shortly after that a media company. Everything to do but play tennis. I think the writing is on the wall for an early retirement.

Seems she is more involved now with off court ventures....I have never thought she had the 'killer instinct' in her to become a champion player, the game yes she does, mentally no.Would not surprise me, like you said she wont be on the tour for that long

She doesn't need tennis anymore and tennis doesn't need her.

AP if you are around,

I saw Serena Williams practicing her serve via video on Twitter yesterday and happy to report the little one was no where to be seen
Happy now lol!

No miss Margaret when the little one is thousands miles away then she will be totally focused, IMO

I don't think nobody cares about Osaka to much these days. I know I have forgotten about her

It’s a shame. She is probably the only one who if she got her game together and was hitting at her best could probably give Swiatek something to think about on court.

I am hoping Serena plays doubles or mixed at Wimbledon; she will need all the play she can get.

It's gonna be the future of tennis for the near present. Tennis could use another Christy vs Martina or Graf vs Seles.
. Serena and Venus could teach the young Coco whatever she needs to tweak to her game to be more competitive or overcome Iga Both are fantastic for the WTA and the game of tennis.

Not a chance, she only have a limited reserve of energy she needs to against ladies who are going to avg 15 years or more years younger than her. This would be her greatest major win if she could do it.
