In jon_wertheim’s latest mailbag, he breaks down Serena Williams’s retirement announcement, Nick Kyrgios’s unconventional attire and the game’s future without its biggest stars
Serena Williams has decided to put down her racket. Certainly, she will be missed. Throughout her career, she had her doubters, haters, and detractors . Yet, she persevered and had a stellar career. There will always be the “what ifs”.
But then Montreal sold out for Hurkacz-Carreno Busta, who responded by playing a top-notch final. Just as hours earlier, Toronto packed the stands to watch Simona Halep beat Beatriz Haddad Maia. And the moral is, yes, Canada is awesome. But it’s also this: there are so many factors militating toward tennis’s long-term success. Here we have a global sport. Played by men and women. Of all ages. Sports, as an industry, is thriving. Problematic as it is, sports gambling benefits tennis.
I doubt they would have dropped someone like Nick, who courts controversy on a regular basis. But I also doubt his contract says he can wear whatever he wants to. Everyone else is in their Nike 'uniforms' and Kyrgios is wearing whatever he found on the floor of his room. Inquiring minds want to know.What was it Jay-Z said? Ah, yes, “Check out my swag, yo. I walk like a ballplayer….No matter where you go, you are what you are, player.
