Andy Murray will join Jack Drapers coaching team for the grass season!

he needs all the help he can get mentally, but I hope this coaching change comes w/ a stay healthy certificate.

Just listened to Gil Gross and his thoughts on Andy Murray coaching Jack Draper, he said experience wise Murray probably was the best , but still he wont be the most important person in the box
Thats the physio ( I tend to agree with Gil)

Sad news,
Lorenzo Musetti has withdrawn from Roland Garros he had a scan yesterday which revealed a retus fomoris injury which needs several weeks of rest and recovery he was a 2025 RG SF, poor guy since AO this year, when he was 2 sets to the good against Novak and had to retire with a leg injury, he cant seem to get a break
BTW A retus fomoris injury is a common, often acute, strain or tear in front of the thigh
With Lorenzo Musetti out of RG, Wawrinka no longer needs a WC so the WC goes to unhearlded 26 yo Clemant Tabur ranked #168.Fils will be no 16th seed

Nadal on Alcaraz and his injury,

"Luckily it wont become chronic. I think he's made the right decisions. He's following the right treatment, I know it well, I tore the same thing twice"
"I spoke with him when it happened. What we said stay between us"
