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.
