"I think most doubles matches are literally a point here, a point there that really, really count, but I thought we played great,” Andreescu said. “They came in clutch in a few certain moments.
“Yeah, it’s a Grand Slam final. It’s very nice to be here. Obviously it’s a bit disappointing, but I think we did our best.”
Andreescu and Venus are yet to decide if they'll team up for the Wimbledon mixed doubles event, with Venus saying he’ll just have turn his phone on “loud” and wait for the call.
“We haven’t spoken about that yet, but if the time comes and I’m ready to play mixed doubles or I want to play mixed doubles and I’m healthy and all that, then I would love to,” Andreescu said.

- On the subject of potential Losers in Tennis... Why is the tennis media avoiding the news that Giorgi and Family robbed their landlord in Florence? Apparently they did some Midnight Marketing and stole antique and collectible items belonging to the landlord's family (including large furniture and miscellaneous Family History items). The old guy and his mother just want their 'history' back, even though they are losing thousands of Euro's in 6 months of unpaid rent. This man makes it clear the father is the main player behind this sudden disappearance (and the tax dodging in Italy).
mandoist20-05-2024 - Seems like Emma is taking the Giorgi and Bouchard route -- using occasional Tennis as a media hit for their alternate ambitions (zooming sponsors, photo shoots, magazine covers, TV commercials, anti-Social Media postings, hiring photog's to make "informal" shots of her on vacation, etc., etc.) Hey, WTA! Hey, Sponsors! You're being played to the tune of millions of misspent Euros and Pounds!!mandoist20-05-2024
