In Tennis Today, Novak Djokovic shows what it’s like to be a tennis dad while Eugenie Bouchard enjoys a bit of camel riding in Qatar.

What’s on the site
The big news overnight came from world No 1 Naomi Osaka with the two-time Grand Slam winner announcing she has split from her coach Sascha Bajin.

There are ATP Tour events in Rotterdam, New York and Buenos Aires this week and our tennis betting expert Derek Bilton is on hand with some tips.

Will he or won’t he play at the Barcelona Open this year? It’s a question that only Roger Federer can answer.

Alpine skiing great Lindsey Vonn received a video call from Roger Federer after her final race over the weekend.

Results round-up:
ATP Rotterdam
ATP New York

What’s in the news
ABC’s 7.30 Report reveals “Sportsbet paid Nick Kyrgios’s brother $40,000 in promotional payments, raising integrity questions”.

“The payment was made to Christos Kyrgios in the same year that he made a controversial appearance at the 2018 Australian Open, wearing two Sportsbet-branded shirts at his brother’s matches.”

When asked to comment Nick Kyrgios “sent a series of emojis in response to an approach from 7.30”.

The Daily Mail is back with their property stories involving celebrities and this time Venus Williams “splashes out $10 million on resort-style Florida waterfront home with private beach, outdoor kitchen, bar and private cottage for sister Serena – but no tennis court”.

That has to be one of the longest headlines and, in case you are wondering, the property records were seen by DailyMailTV.

There is more to Osaka-Bajin split, it seems.

FYI Naomi no longer follows Sascha on Twitter, so that’s something… https://t.co/e7s8CY0dej
