I remember hearing years ago about some young players who were posioned, and one of them died. It turned out the pushy parent of a teenage player was poisoning the orange juice of up and coming players, or something. But still very unlikely, I'd hope.

Hingis' statement on the split. They're still going to defend their title in Singapore.

Rafa keeping busy during the delay, he looks quite invested.

When I looked earlier, no tennis was scheduled, day or night, on any of the BBC Olympic channels. But I would take that with a pinch of salt. They're bound to show at least Murray, Konta and maybe the GB mixed doubles.

I can see Rafa is playing singles and mens doubles again today. But is he doing that mixed doubles match later tonight too? Schedule doesn't clarify. Surely no one can play 3 matches in one day, his poor wrist

I read is was a bacteria from animals which could have been accidently injested from anywhere. Deliberate poisoning seems a bit far fetched but who knows? Heavy betting on junior matches apparently.
![]() It's something we've always talked about as our family have always had farms going way back and we had some shops in rural areas, so we had to make sure no stock, including bottles were ever in any danger of being touched. You can get it by drinking from a bottle which has been stored in an area where an animal could have touched it/urinated on it. I just cannot see it as being deliberate. |

Female players who play singles/ doubles and mixed play 3 matches a day sometimes in slams. Martina N did it all the time. A bit easier when matches are best of 3.
And besides Martina is not entirely human. She is the supreme Android of Tennis. |
