Sabalenka and Djokovic go on double date as budding friendship continues to take flight

Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic are both in China with Sabalenka set to play Wuhan next week but it seemed both found time to spend it together with their respective partners.
Known for a budding friendship, Sabalenka and Djokovic took their partners Georgios Frangulis and in Djokovic's case, his wife Jelena out for dinner with Sabalenka posting pictures of the double date.
But not only is Sabalenka friends with him but also Frangulis, an entrepreneur behind the Oakberry Acai brand he also saw an opportunity with Le Mans Football Club as a co investor.
“Novak has been an idol of mine forever, long before we became friends. I always admired him for his achievements,” Frangulis shared. “When the Le Mans opportunity came up, I decided to invest in the club and brought in some investors who made a lot of sense. Since we’re talking about sports investment, I’d say Novak is the GOAT standard in terms of mindset and sharpness as an athlete. He fell in love with the project immediately – it just made sense.”
"She (Sabalenka) enjoys talking to him and learning from him, from the perspective of someone who has achieved so much,” Frangulis said. “They do talk, and in that relationship she’s more of a listener – and why wouldn’t she be, right? Any tennis player should be happy when talking to Novak.”
“I love being around Novak and learning from him. And I think it’s good for him, too. He’s been on a tennis court his whole life, so exploring new areas is exciting for him. He’s a great listener, very curious about business, politics, everything. That’s why any conversation with him is always engaging and fun.”
Djokovic also famously barged in on her press conference at Wimbledon in hilarious fashion and the current GOAT and the best female tennis player of the modern day together is some combination.

Eva Lys shares abhorrent abuse in different side to best week of her career

Eva Lys will go up further into the top 50 next week after one of the best weeks of her career. The German who is not only known on court as one of the top rising stars shared a mix of her usual humour but also the abhorrent side.
Not one to shy away from the abuse that she gets, Lys had a story posted about her saying she should burn in hell and making comments about her and her mother. Of course something she was tagged in over sent in a heated message, Lys said 'Let's not forget the reality whenever we lose a match as it continues to be a real issue'.
For Lys she goes from strength to strength but as most players find having their own social media is both a good and a bad thing. Lys often shares humorous stories including on a WTA photoshoot when she did a transition smacking her phone with her bag to go into her look.
As well as various shots of both her week prior to this post which saw her lose to Coco Gauff who goes on to face Amanda Anisimova in the semi-finals tomorrow.

Andy Murray enjoys usual Scottish weather in golf foray

Andy Murray managed to impress during his opening foray into a professional golf environment. It was an impressive debut in the ongoing Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland.
Murray partnered with the professional golfer Eddie Pepperell as the two finished the opening day seven under after the first 18 holes. They were behind the leaders, Jack Senior and Dery Desmond, as they tied for the 94th and 10 shots. During the competition, Murray is set to play on three courses, Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and St Andrews.
But in typical British fashion and in particular Scotland, it was raining throughout. No doubt Murray wouldn't expect much else when it comes to the British weather with Storm Amy set to batter the UK in the coming day or so.

ATP stars get tangled up in Masters Task

Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz among others took part in a challenge which seemed to be more of an exercise of how the mind works or in the case of Taylor Fritz how it doesn't work.
Tasked with carrying balls over from the table to a basket, Alex Michelsen decided to go for the more novel way of using chopsticks which of course took forever.
Alcaraz decided without being able to use his hands that he would put them under his top to drag them over while Fritz decided to fret over it then carried the table over with the balls on to try and use a clever way to do it.
How did they get on? Watch the video below.
