Djokovic once again made a bit of a fool of himself, saying it's "really impossible!" to 'only' bring one staff member to the court, which is what is being talked about for the US Open to happen. Some true words from Danielle Collins: "It's very easy for someone who's won over 125 million euros to say what we should do, but most of us don't even have an entourage at all."

 

Djokovic desperately needs to play some tennis or something (which I guess he does, but something serious then), his mental state is getting worse and worse judging by the things he says.

Yeah, it seems like Djokovic thinks he's bigger than ATP. However there's too much money being lost elsewhere so they could well roll without him.

In 17th June in Gdańsk will start first of eight LOTOS PZT Polish Tournaments. 

 

Of course this tournament will be only for local players, among them from "big" names are Katarzyna Kawa, Magdalena Fręch, Katarzyna Piter, Kacper Żuk, Daniel Michalski, Maciej Rajski and Jan Zieliński. 

 

I hope that in next tournaments Ula Radwańska, Hubert Hurkacz and Magda Linette or Iga Świątek will enter.....

look who's back Jelena Jankovic and she's still really hot after all these ys ?

I was in the Ana Ivanovic camp back in the day

 

Lest we forget how Maria Sharapova managed to dismiss both Azarenka & Jankovic over the MTO usage in one clean sweep:

 

Always drama in WTA!

It's official

 

A further update on the intended schedule beyond Roland Garros, including a possible Asia swing ahead of the European indoor swing culminating with the season-ending Nitto ATP Finals in London, is expected in mid-July.

I wonder if all top players will play in both slams, or if someone will miss masters in Rome and Madrid

Some Europeans will probably skip the hard court swing and start directly on clay. I don't expect it, but both Nadal and Djokovic have said they could miss the US Open. The clay swing is definitely in the better position.
