In case you missed it, Roger Federer (that would be the tennis playing Roger Federer) will skip the clay-court season again and French Open organisers must be feeling a little anxious over the quality of the 2018 entry list.
We had some good features over the weekend and you can start off with The crazy, controversial, and brilliant timeline of Jennifer Capriati.
Then there is The brilliant yet fleeting rivalry of Venus Williams and Martina Hingis.
And here is the Famous Five: Times tennis stars tried dating other sportsmen.

What’s in the news
Ladies and gentlemen there is another Roger Federer out there and yes, he is also from Switzerland. The other Roger Federer is a 48-year-old artist and he told Tagblatt.ch: “If you have the same name as Roger Federer then you have to meet higher expectations.”
Oh and the two have met as they briefly talked at Zurich Airport after the tennis playing Roger Federer arrived back home following his Australian Open success.
