Candid Kiki Bertens has lifted the lid on the “soul-searching” that threatened her tennis career.
The Fever-Tree Championship is just around the corner and the big question is can Kyle Edmund finally deliver at Queen’s Club?
Remember Dustin Brown? Yep, the guy who famously beat Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon in 2015. Well, he claimed another upset win at the Mercedes Cup.
There were also some upsets at the Libema Open with Stefanos Tsitsipas and Fernando Verdasco crashing out.
But no such problems for the seeds in the Nature Valley Classic in Nottimgham.
