Here's the WTA schedule for the rest of the year. Promised it.
And remember last week when I said I didn't know when Nadal would be back to tennis? He says he's planning on a December return! Woohoo! His fans will be so happy, I'm sure.
Also there is a tennis grunting ban no enacted in the WTA. Some people may not really think grunting is a big deal, but watch this. You should be glad they can't do it anymore. Ironically Sharapova says the rule will be good for tennis. Hopefully nothing will happen to her because of it.
Alsooo, the Australian Open will be increasing it's prize money this year. It will be about $31.5 million, a 15% increase. Will that make the players try harder? The Australian tennis committee is doing this to encourage more tennis players "Down Under" to compete at the professional level. I think that's interesting. Bernard Tomic seems to be an upcoming star though. He's racked up some big wins this year. He is Australia's next big star. Maybe next week I'll come up with a list of the upcoming champions, the ones after Federer, Djokovic, Nadal and Murray retire. But I'll have to see about that. It might take a while to make a good list. Look forward to it.
