The conversation around Jack Draper is moving on from "Can he make the top ten?" - which is only one win away - to "Can he win a major?"

Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament @Olympics

Unpopular opinion 🚨 South America should have its own dedicated swing on the tennis tour with its own masters series. The way the fans support the tournaments there is incredible. Amazing atmospheres and 🎾 is clearly part of their sporting culture. Vamos @atptour !

Goodbye Mr Wimbledon: Legendary Mail Sport tennis correspondent Mike Dickson dies aged 59 ❤️dailymail.co.uk/sport/others…

We’re deeply saddened to tell you that Mike Dickson has passed away at the age of 59.
Dicko was a magnificent tennis correspondent and an outstanding colleague: talented, kind and knowledgeable.
Much more than that, he was a brilliant bloke, a class act.
It was a privilege to work alongside him and to know him.
Our thoughts are with his family at this time.
RIP, Mike.

"That was for you, Gran" ❤️
What an incredible performance from Sir @andy_murray given the circumstances 👏

The difficult thing for the casual observer to wrap their heads around are the expenses that tennis players take on board. Especially if you are from a country that is more isolated. $200k+ easily in expenses across the year.
Very interesting to see the @atptour introducing a three-year trial giving the top 250 players a guaranteed "salary", from 2024:
Rank 1-100 - $300K
Rank 101-175 - $150K
Rank 176-250: $75K
Prize money earned by players each year will be rounded up to the thresholds, if below them

WTA Statement on post-match handshakes:
Following the unfortunate circumstances and misunderstanding in yesterday’s match at @Wimbledon (along with other matches the past several weeks), the WTA would like to provide clarity around post-match handshakes.
Due to the ongoing reprehensible war, the WTA respects the position of the Ukrainian athletes in foregoing the tradition of shaking opponents’ hands (from Russia and Belarus) at the end of a match, as this is a personal decision. We have some of the best fans in the world and are grateful for their passion and dedication, and we thank them for their understanding and respect for the athletes.
