Jelena Ostapenko handled the business impressively against Ons Jabeur on Thursday but one thing she wasn’t happy about at all was the crowd.

Andy Roddick thinks Stefano Vukov definitely played a role in the Elena Rybakina and Goran Ivanisevic partnership coming to an end after a very short time.  After ending her five-year partnership with the 37-year-old in August, the Kazakh hired Novak Djokovic’s former long-time coach in November.  But just a few days into the 2025 season,…
