Evert Wants Grunting Stopped

Chris Evert has joined the campaign to stop grunting from causing noise pollution to women’s tennis.

Evert’s great rival Martina Navratilova made an outspoken attack against the grunters in tennis when receiving the Philippe Chatrier Award at the International Tennis Federation’s World Champions’ Dinner during the French Open a couple of years ago and now the American has followed suit.

Sock to Work with USTA Again

Up and coming US teenager Jack Sock has decided to work with USTA's Jay Berger again beginning next week at the tournament in Memphis and lasting through Key Biscayne. Sock will still maintain a relationship with his private coach, Mike Wolfe, but apparently Wolfe has obligations at home in Kansas City.
