As you will have read above, Zverev has turned to Lendl and Simon Briggs in Telegraph Sport feels the American is the “perfect fit”.
Kevin Mitchell in The Guardian also shares his views on the Zverev-Lendl link-up and adds Andy Murray “may have experienced a shiver of regret, or nostalgia maybe, when he learned Lendl had come out of retirement to tend to the development of the exciting young German Alexander Zverev”.
Caroline Wozniacki is on the latest Hamptons Magazine cover and the Daily Mail tells us she celebrated by wearing the same Versace outfit that Jennifer Lopez had on during Se Acabo El Amor music video.
And then somewhere in the story they refer to her as “the looker”.
“The looker was also seen with her NBA player fiance David Lee, who was sharp in a suit.”
Express Sport has another GOAT debate and this time “Football stars disagree over GOAT debate”.
Be warned, it’s not the football stars you’d expect.
Uniqlo has revealed Roger Federer’s attire for the US Open.
Staying with Federer and the Japanese company, Uniqlo says their “blockbuster contract” with the 20-time Grand Slam winner “is much bigger than sports”.
