Does this picture make it look as if Taylor Swift is about to unleash a lethal left-arm wrist-spinner? Or do I just have a one-track mind?

- Davila Jakupovic retires after suffering a horrendous coughing fit and breathing difficulties in the heavy, polluted air in Melbourne. Awful scenes
- There's something naturally comical about Medvedev, even when he's being offensive. He's like tennis's Mr Bean
00:00 - Andy Murray joins the debate over Justin Gimelstob telegraph.co.uk/tennis/2019/04…
- In the latest episode of "Men Behaving Badly Down Under", court documents show that Djokovic's legal team warned that cancelling his visa "would threaten the viability" of Australia continuing to host the Australian Open. Hmmm
- To all those telling me that Covid doesn't exist, etc etc, I can only refer you to this excellent summary from Arnold Schwarzenegger (words I never thought I would write)
- As anyone who has spent any time in Australia knows, this supposedly laidback country is actually a stickler for rules
- Former ATP vice-president for rules and competition calls Alexander Zverev's suspended sentence "pathetic". It hardly seems that there is anyone in tennis who disagrees
- Feel like it might be time to repost this, from six weeks ago. It's genuinely possible that Novak thought he couldn't contract Covid because he was drinking healing water suffused with positive emotions
- Also I well remember this press conference at the O2 Arena that November, when Djokovic whizzed a ball just over his player box, fortunately bouncing off empty seats, and @NeilMcLeman asked him about itThis Post is from a suspended account. Learn more
- Telegraph data showing that the live-blogs on Emma Raducanu's last two matches were our two most popular sports stories of the year, just ahead of a piece about the decisive Euros penalty shoot-out
- Here's a piece on the contrasts - and extraordinary lack of rancour - which made the Roger-Rafa rivalry one of the greatest stories in sport
- "Kim stood by me when she could easily have said 'Look, come home, we don't need to do this any more.'" Andy Murray on how his wife helped him through his dark moments
- Kudos to Azarenka for this much-needed insight into the issue of rogue coaches on WTA Tour. When I previously addressed the subject in June, one experienced coach said he had never seen so many coaches in inappropriate relationships with players
