Philippe Chartrier is getting a roof. I hope it maintains itc charm because it is a beautiful stadium, Wimbledon managed to keep the feel of Centre Court. The fb page is in French, so if you can translate what it says you will understand what they are saying:

About time, how many silly rain delays does the FO get! I mean there is rain and then there is France lol. Wish the US Open had 1 roofed stadium (not saying Arthur Ashe, but at least 1)

I saw the post and someone wrote 2018/19!! How can they be so slow in putting a roof!! We will have three roofs by the time they get 1!!! The Grand Slams should have precedence to all events and cost should not be a problem to what they rake in!! I also think the US Open is getting a roof as well!!!! Two roofs in fact by 2018!! http://www.usopen.org/news/us_open_unveils_its_vision_for_the_future/!!!

Lendl has split with Murray to focus on his own tournaments. Big blow for Andy; will be interesting to see if he can maintain everything that Ivan has taught him or if it all goes out the window.

I burst out laughing, when I saw it last night. My family was wondering what was going on.

Looks like Novak has gotten the all clear to play in Madrid.

Wooooooooooooooooo! Djokovic is gonna be a father

Kyrgios and his coach have parted ways one week after Wimby. He will be working with Josh Eagle.

Strange decision after his success you would think

Edit: I read the decision is came about from a want to spend more time in Canberra. Could be a silly thought, but if he's gonna stay in Canberra to work on his game, where will he get decent players of a high enough standard to hit with him and play practice sets?

Kyrgios wants to move back home to Canberra and his old coach lives in Melbourne with a young family and didn't want to move up there.

That is the story we are told anyway.

In other news IMG have dropped tomic from their list of sport stars. Not surprising at all given bis behaviours and attitude on and off the court.

Would hire a hitting partner? Like Hewitt has with Luzcak.

The Aussies claim another one! Alja Tomljanovic is going to represent Australia at the U.S Open and at tour level once she gets her citizenship. That explains the wildcard into Sydney this year.

Andy Murray is set to confirm that he will be continuing his groundbreaking coaching arrangement with Amelie Mauresmo, despite his untimely quarter final exit from Wimbledon earlier this month.

Weird move I think given she is ranked 50 odd and has direct entry into events without TA help. Maybe Croatia funnelled all their money into Vekic and she got her nose out of joint over it?

Coached by David Taylor, think he is moving his base to Australia.

So this is pretty weird.

Not really "news" but I had no idea where else to put it.

http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2014/07/30/Kyrgios-New-Friends.aspx

A group of 21-year-old students from Bundoora, Australia, suddenly found themselves confronted with these questions after newly minted Wimbledon quarter-finalist Nick Kyrgios sent the following tweet on Wednesday evening:

The Canberra native was in the northern suburb of Melbourne and within minutes of receiving a response from someone named Tim and his La Trobe University friends, Kyrgios was at their doorstep.

Absolute legend.

[matt_897]
