Former world No. 1 Dinara Safina has revealed that Aryna Sabalenka approached her in 2019 about a partnership, which came to nothing.

The Belarusian had parted ways with her coach at the time, Dmitry Tursunov, in August 2019. Following this separation, she was looking for a replacement.

Safina turned down the sudden offer, as she didn't feel ready: "It was for full cooperation.

Her agent called me and told me about this opportunity, but she had to fly out immediately to the US Open and get ready for it.

I said I couldn't do that. But I understand Aryna, because I behaved the same way when I was a player. I also said "I need a coach tomorrow!""

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
