NEWS ON AND OFF THE COURT

There is always something interesting happening in the world of tennis and a lot of it does not take place on the tennis court, most of what many fans find fascinating is the off-court gossip.

John McEnroe will be working with Milos Raonic at Wimbledon.  Raonic hopes he will be able to benefit from the sage advice of the great John McEnroe.  How long will this relationship last?  We have seen many players go through coaches like sneakers as they try to find the coach that they think will give them the best opportunity of maximizing their potential.  In a way you cannot blame them as the primary objective of any tennis player is to win tournaments, especially the Majors.

Ivan Lendl has rejoined the team of Andy Murray.  Perhaps this will give Murray that something extra to help him win consistently against Novak Djokovic.

2015 US Open Champion, Flavia Pennetta, got married on Saturday (06.11.2016) to ATP Tour professional, Fabio Fognini.  Maybe this will have a calming effect on Fognini and allow us to enjoy more of his brilliant tennis.

Serena Williams will be in New York tonight (06.13.2016) at the premiere of her documentary.

Simona Halep was forced to withdraw from the Aegon Classic because of lingering issues with her left Achilles tendon (tendonitis).
