Dimitrov, Venus, Wawrinka: Couple formation on social media
The tennis professionals are bored in the home office. Fortunately, they are pretty well networked with each other via social media.

Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina have each other, and that's a good thing. While the Ukrainian tries to sweeten the day with short videos, Monfils does the hard job of a passionate Play Station player before dinner. A few days ago, Svitolina asked her French partner in Instagram live chat what he wanted for dinner: chicken or fish? Monfils left the answer to the more than 1,000 live viewers, just held his controller in the camera and said goodbye to the next gamble.
So far it came in 2020: The very well networked tennis circus does not meet on the tennis courts in Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome, but on Instagram to mix a cocktail together if in doubt (responsible for this was Benoit Paire and Stan Wawrinka ) or to advertise a watch brand in a paid partnership (this happened with Monfils and Wawrinka on Tuesday evening).
Dimitrov pushes Venus, Thiem and Novak overplayed
But also gladly taken: the joint workout. The first prominent, now ex-player, who had asked to do gymnastics via Insta was Caroline Wozniacki, who had her husband David Lee in her living room, but had switched on her fitness coach by phone and via smartphone. The constellation that presented itself earlier this week is even more interesting: Venus Williams had brought Grigor Dimitrov into the picture to do some sport. The level of motivation was high on both sides, the duration of the exercise was partially negotiated as in an oriental bazaar: Venus offered 30 seconds, Grigor went all in with two minutes. The two met somewhere near the middle.

Bethanie Mattek-Sands, on the other hand, is seen more in resting poses, after all, the American double specialist has a firm grip on the Instagram account of the WTA. And can look forward to guests like compatriot Alison Riske.
The hardest working, of course, is Christopher Kas, who would like to send daily “ tennisnetnews ” from 6:00 pm to mid-July. With guest moderators like Lucas Miedler or this Friday Sascha Bajin. “Kasi Live” is also promoting digital sport - however, the viewers have been able to learn an important lesson in the past few days: Both Dennis Novak and Dominic Thiem stated that they had overplayed themselves on the console. Then maybe you would prefer fitness with Venus and Grigor.
