Frederic Verdier on the fees of Andy Murray, Jack Draper’s new coach: “I know Murray’s rates, they’re monstrous. When he was coaching Djokovic, it was for 10 weeks at 100,000 euros a week. So that comes to 10 weeks for 1 million.”

Frances Tiafoe is the first American to win ATP Halle title, he beat Fritz 64 64. His post match quotes: “I just want to say one of my favorite scriptures, Romans 8:18… ‘The pain that you’ve been feeling, can’t compare to the joy that’s coming.’ That proves very very true. A few weeks ago had one of the toughest losses of my career at the French Open. To be able to come back and have a good week here and win my biggest title, beating players that I did. It’s a huge testimony to that quote. It’s something I’ve been living by… all glory to God.”
