Eugenie Bouchard is no stranger to saucy swimwear photo-shoots, but she’s challenged Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer to follow suit and show us all what they’ve got.
Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic has found a strong ally in former world number one Jim Courier.
The four-time major winner Courier has backed Djokovic to make a Federer-like comeback following injury.
Social media can be a lot of fun, but it also comes with challenges that some players find difficult to deal with. Australian Tennis Magazine spoke to the likes of Grigor Dimitrov and Elena Vesnina about it.
