RIP Nick Bollettieri
(Preview)
At the grand age of 91, Nick Bollettieri has passed away. An amazing and 'pioneering' US tennis coach, a big character, working with a lot of the big names, but also a whole load of kids. There are lots of great tributes out there to him, not only for his coaching but also for being a good guy.

WTA Finals 2022

Most low key tour finals I recall. Little publicity and venue in Fort Worth. The crowds are literally zero, no one there. Poor show by the WTA. mind, lack of women star names in top 8 doesnt help.
