Patrick has gotten worse in terms of trying to center himself.

I truly can't stand Patrick. He just wants to be in the limelight. He seems to be coaching 1/4 of the players. Everytime a match is shown....there he is. Yes he has an academy but he has to stick to coaching just one player.

Our young Fernandez saved tennis.

Honestly, he's not a magician. Now we see how much of Serena's success was down to Serena. https://t.co/2dtoeCBvgL

I just saw the score and understand what you mean by this.

Serena was already a mega star when Patrick arrived. Patrick is another Paul Annacone in coaching.

What’s going on with Tio Toni and Felix? I saw that some people, presumably Felix fans, seem pissed at Toni. Did he bail on Felix? I know that Felix is due to play Nadal today. 
Does anyone have the 411?

This happened last night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

A Barclays Center security supervisor told ESPN there was a person with a gun in the main plaza that led to a stampede back into the arena. Multiple people transported to hospital. Official estimated approximately a dozen injuries. Among them: a concussion and an elbow injury. https://t.co/LPfMO5qPzT

Damn Sinner has the worst luck where injuries are concerned. He had Rublev on the ropes. He would've beaten him but instead retires...ugh!

Finally, women are being more open about this. As someone who used to suffer very painful cramps as a teenager, I can tell you that doing normal activities, let alone sports can be excruciating at times. As a professional athlete, I can imagine that some pain relievers for strong pain are likely not allowed, to say nothing of other symptoms.

Zheng Qinwen hinted that she was troubled by menstrual cramps during the match against Iga Swiatek.

Wasn’t Rune known for yelling a homophobic slur once? Or was that another Nordic player?

Didn't know about this but it was Rune in a match against Tomas Martin Etcheverry. He apologized saying he wasnt calling him homophobic names but to himself. It makes no difference. PGA golfer Justin Thomas was caught using homophobic language too saying such things as !@#$%^&*] and faggot. He lost several sponsors but never got suspended. Of course nothing was done to Rune by the ATP. They never do anything. 

Its a shame because I like Rune game.
