I guess he settled for Danny once he knew Lendl wasn't going to happen. Danny was very close to Lendl by the way. Let's see how this works.

Poor Tsonga, he's been very unlucky. First he injures his arm and has to skip very important duty for his nation at the DC, but then it recovers enough for the highly waged IPTL, so at least he can earn a (lucrative) living, and now it's gone again when he should be on duty for his nation again.

Guy can't catch a break, except when it suits him... :popcorn

Tommy Haas is hopefully due back in about 3 months. Big fan and hope he comes back well healed. Still a tough opponent even at 36 going on 37 when healthy.

LLodra had an elbow surgery last Thursday, that's why he wasn't able to play DC's final. He hopes to be OK for RG. Get well soon Mika

Will we see a different Berdych under a new coach? Tomas needed fresh ideas, a new injection in his stalling career. Can't wait to see how this will pan out.

Always been a fan of Llodra's s&v style but I guess it's doubles only for him for now on. Think his singles career is over. Had really hoped he'd be able to play the Paris masters this year but he was injured and already retired from singles before that as far as I know. Hope he's better by RG too.

Good to see Nick Kyrgios playing in the Hopman Cup (an exhibition tournament) as opposed to Brisbane, an ATP tournament. He'll probably play Sydney, but still...

Nick Krygios and Bernard Tomic are both on the men's playing list for Apia International Sydney in 2015.

Sorry to rain on your parade,no it isn't a French liquer at all..;)

Loic Courteau currently works with French player Julien Benneteau,though he has confirmed he has been in talks to join Andy Murray's support team.Courteau is very close to Mauresmo,he helped her in her tennis career.
