Court Six: May/June 2015
Querry appears on Millionaire Matchmaker
Sam Querrey recently starred in an episode of “Millionaire Matchmaker.” The show on Bravo is hosted by Patti Stanger, a fix-‘em up queen. “It was fun to do something different,” said Querrey. “It was a really fun process, and it’ll be something I can talk about for a long time.”
Some of Querrey’s friends on the pro tour checked out the episode and had some fun with it:
â–ºJohn Isner (@JohnIsner): Set your DVRs America! #WillQuerreyFindLove
â–ºVictoria Azarenka (@Vika7): Jetlag is a b … h, but thank u @SamQuerrey for this entertainment… Millionare Matchmaker? hahahaha
Bouchard hits with celebrities
Eugenie Bouchard met her crush, fellow Canadian Justin Bieber, and got to play some tennis with him at the Desert Smash charity event. Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell were also participants in the event that was just a few miles down the road from Indian Wells.
The joke’s on you!
Caroline Wozniacki scared a lot of her fans with this April Fool’s prank on her Twitter. She took to Twitter to say, “As of today, I am officially announcing my retirement from tennis and I am going to focus on TV and modeling. I want to thank all of you for the amazing support over the years, it's been truly amazing! It wouldn't have been the same without you!”
She later assured everyone that it was just a joke: “Had my agents sweat it a little this morning. Got to love April Fools.”
Pros swim with the fishes
Tennis stars Ryan Harrison and Sabine Lisicki found some new friends while in Miami for the Miami Open. Lisicki would reach the tournament’s quarterfinals before losing to Serena Williams, but while in Florida, took advantage of an opportunity to swim with some dolphins.
The coaching carousel continues
Hitting partner Sasha Bajin’s move from the Serena Williams camp to the Victoria Azarenka team was the latest turn in the dizzying coaching carousel at the top of women’s tennis in recent months. Azarenka’s longtime coach, Sam Sumyk, went to work with Eugenie Bouchard. Bouchard’s previous coach, Nick Saviano, began working with Sloane Stephens. Stephens’ past coach, Thomas Hogstedt, spent time with Simona Halep; and Halep’s former coach, Wim Fissette, is now alongside Bajin with Azarenka. Dizzy yet?
Watt and Wozniacki rumors?
Caroline Wozniacki was a busy woman over the last couple of weeks. Following her trip to the White House for the Easter Egg Roll, the Dane joined NFL star and former Wisconsin Badger JJ Watt at the NCAA men’s basketball championship in Indianapolis. Many are speculating the two are dating, but nothing has yet to be confirmed.
