Thanks for the info, and the other poster who also pointed it out.
PM certainly went far with that money. He will be selling lessons at his academy off the back of Serena for some time to come.
It's all about the connection with the coaches and players. A great coach and a great player means nothing if they don't have that personal chemistry. It's either there or it isn't. If the connection is there between the top coaches and the top players, bang- magic can happen. We know PM and...
Federer- I think he has the least to regret. There is not much you can do in tennis if the match up is not in your favor. However, he will regret 40-15, and rightfully so. He may regret not sticking to his game plan more in some of the big finals vs Nadal and getting lured into baseline rallies...

All of it by 2028.
I think it'll come soon. It always comes up at the slams as a discussion point by the journos. It makes sense, too, financially- bring in more fans, get matches out the way...
