I hope Karatsev's shady past catches up with him, but it likely won't.

Karatsev is lucky he invested his riches into a Djokovic magic egg during the corona break and became too big to get busted....provided he is guilty of having fixed, which I totally do not know officially.

No W100 tennis on German nando's right now even though there are too matches going/about to start and listed on the Estonian version. Don't tell me that Germany now decided to get rid of all ITF betting and streaming ffs.

someone did a fake tweet of Carlos saying he wished Emma a speedy recovery and that he wanted to play mixed with her. She tweeted yes before realizing it was fake and deleted her tweet.
If we only knew it took some fake tweets to pair Carlos up with someone we could have solved his problem a long time ago.
