And the tour is short on former slam winners at present with Petra out and Vika and Maria yet to return.

Has the relationship been common knowledge or a well kept secret?
Congratulations to them both. |

Congratulations to them both. Good lord, is the new season really beginning on Monday? Literally got no idea what to expect. |

Your not fooling anybody Lisa, we both know the real news is at the top of your post. I just saw this, I didn't know she was with anybody but apparently it's been 2 years? Congratulations to her, I hope they are both very happy.
![]() ![]() I was oblivious as well. I recognise him in the onesies pic that some of the media are using, I remember that being on snapchat, but she's always hanging out with random people so I didn't think anything of it. Fair play to her for keeping it on the down low and making it known on her terms. |

Rafa beat Berdych easily in Abu Dhabi. Looked cute with his short hair.
Andy is playing tomorrow. 1pm I think. |

Oh, I knew there was something I meant to post.
Thiem has released his first half of the year schedule. It's busy. Clearly did not learn anything from playing waaaay too much this year and seems to think this is the way to get and stay in the top: it isn't by playing so many tournaments but by winning//going deep in the ones you do enter!! ![]() Meanwhile, this made me laugh

Good to hear about Serena and Alexis. It should lessen Daddy Patrick's grip on her which can only be a good thing

She'll stick around so long as she's challenging for slam titles. She wants that record.

I had heard they were going out alright but not a lot else. It's odd, there's hardly any pictures of them together and he's never been courtside at any of her matches either.

Fair play to her for keeping it on the down low and making it known on her terms. They also go through every boyfriend she has had since 2000, which is just gross. But it is the Mail so I can't be surprised. I didn't even know Rafa had played yesterday. I'm well out of the loop, although I normally am until AO. In even bigger news, Garbine is in Brisbane. I am being positive, she will do better this year. |

I'm so envious watching Berdy and Jo playing in the bright sunshine while I'm sitting here looking at heavy fog outside my window.

3 more slams seems to be a lot to ask for, unless you're think of just getting a 23rd slam and calling it a day?

She'd want to beat Court's record. A big ask now.

Very poor game from Andy to lose the match from 40-0 up. Daveed played extremely well though. First time he's beaten Andy.

Miles said before the match that Andy doesn't do well in exhibitions. He plays better when he has the bit between his teeth. Should have done better though.

Court's 'record' is dubious at best anyway.

Nothing dubious about it- she won 24 Grand Slam Singles Titles.
That's before we get onto her bizarre hatred of Women's tennis and being a raging bigot, those things alone make her irrelevant to me. |

The AO wins when virtually nobody outside of Australia turned up due to the logistics of travel in them days, giving her hometown advantage are sketchy. The top seeds had byes into the second round, an AO title could be won in 4 or 5 matches due to the limited draw size.
