A bit of tennis history here, the childhood friend/former agent of Agassi, Perry Rogers, absolutely hammering the Hall of Fame player and coach George Karl on threads with regards to the Jason Tatum lack of playing time debacle.

From multiple players, the boyfriend was no longer the boyfriend, Sabalenka was in Indian Wells with a new guy, she and the new guy flew with Dimitrov on a pj to Miami from the desert, seems as though Koltsov came to Miami to try sort it out…

Been told that everything officially fell apart after a big argument over Novak’s effort in practice in Indian Wells.
Speaking of Novak, Just learned from inside sources that Novak is “unhappy with his team” and is going to be making some changes. Will focus on the clay, is unsure about playing Wimbledon as he is hyper focused on winning Olympic Gold in Roland Garros.

To be fair, NBC did a terrible job with this final broadcast, particularly since they had the event since 1983. Completely budget, bare bones production, a lack of reverence, and devoid of any production value to commemorate their run, whatsoever. Hugely disappointing.

By the way, how incredible is our sport, where a Sara Errani can go from a top fiver over a decade ago, to essentially off the tour ruined by crazy yips on her serve, to mentoring a paisana into the top 10, and today, together, they brought home the hardware? Unreal.
