A former world No 1 admits to a soft spot for a megastar while Greg Rusedski says slipping on grass is a rite of passage
Kim Clijsters, the reigning champion of the ladies invitational doubles alongside Martina Hingis, showed up to defend her title and admitted she has missed some of the big moments of the tournament so far. “I went to Taylor Swift in Amsterdam this weekend,” she says, “so I’ve had distractions.” It turns out that the former world No 1 and three-time US Open champion is less of a Swiftie than she is a Very Good Bestie – she got the tickets for her closest friend and surprised her with them.
or the tour be addressing the problem? No, says Rusedski. “It’s called grass. You’re supposed to slip.”The mood on another miserably wet morning was greatly lifted by the presence of the Wandsworth Philharmonic Orchestra. They drew a large, cagouled crowd in front of the food court, where they were largely sheltered from conditions, although one helper did have to stand over a double bassist holding an umbrella.
