Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf's daughter Jaz showed off her new hair makeover
Legendary tennis couple Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf's daughter praised her stylist as she showed off her new hairstyle.
The 21-year-old previously wore "shaggy layers" and "wispy bangs" with darker blonde roots and lighter ends. She then made a dramatic change by dyeing her hair brown and adopting a curlier look, later darkening it further and enhancing the curls.
Jaz raved about her new look on social media, where she can be seen smiling for the camera.
"❤️❤️❤️," she posted on her Instagram story.
Novak Djokovic's sponsor Lacoste's CEO apologizes for early unveiling of Serb's 25th Grand Slam tracksuit
Lacoste’s CEO Thierry Guibert issued an apology after the brand mistakenly listed a $350 special edition tracksuit anticipating Novak Djokovic's 25th Grand Slam victory.
The special edition outfit features the number '25' along with the famous crocodile badges, suggesting Djokovic had already achieved his 25th Grand Slam title.
Guibert expressed regret for this error on X (formerly Twitter) on June 20, saying it was a tech issue.
"I have to apologize about that. It was a mistake on our side due to IT issues," Guibert wrote.
Novak Djokovic is currently recovering from a knee injury he suffered during his French Open campaign. The Serbian tennis legend is also slated to participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Naomi Osaka shared her thoughts on teaming up with Nick Kyrgios at the US Open mixed madness
Naomi Osaka and Nick Kyrgios will join forces for a special mixed doubles event named ‘The US Open Mixed Madness’ on August 20, ahead of the last Grand Slam of the year.
Other pairings include Aryna Sabalenka and Taylor Fritz, Coco Gauff and Ben Shelton, and Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa.
The Japanese tennis star humorously responded to partnering with Kyrgios, expressing surprise at being the seasoned pair among a bunch of younger rivals.
"The fact that we're the veterans in this group just made me sit down in silence." Naomi Osaka wrote in her story.
Naomi Osaka recently faced a first-round exit against Australian Open runner-up Zheng Qinwen 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 at the ecotrans Ladies Open in Berlin.
Iga Swiatek sends best wishes to Karolina Muchova as the latter announces her return from wrist injury
Iga Swiatek warmly welcomed Karolina Muchova back to the WTA Tour following her announcement of returning after a prolonged injury absence.
Muchova had been sidelined since September 2023 due to a wrist injury, for which she underwent surgery in February 2024 to repair a loose tendon in her right wrist. After nine months away, the Czech tennis star is poised to make her comeback at the Rothesay International in Eastbourne before competing in the Wimbledon Championships and Paris Olympics.
"At the end of this week, I’ll fly to Eastbourne with the team, where we’ll finally try to play some matches in preparation ahead of Wimbledon. After Wimbledon I’ll return back to the clay, maybe play a tournament, or straight to the Olympics," Muchova said in an interview to CANAL+ Sport CZ.
Swiatek expressed her support as Muchova shared her comeback news on social media.
"Good to have you back!" Swiatek tweeted.
Iga Swiatek, who recently won her fifth Grand Slam title at the French Open, delayed her grass-court appearance with the withdrawal from the ecotrans Ladies Open in Berlin and will most likely participate in the Wimbledon Championships next.
American doubles No. 1 Nicole Melichar-Martinez expresses her disappointment over Paris Olympics 2024 snub
American doubles No. 1 Nicole Melichar-Martinez has voiced disappointment at not being included in the US tennis team for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Having previously competed for the US at the Tokyo Olympics, Melichar-Martinez took to social media to explain her absence.
"First off, congratulations to all those nominated for Team USA for the Paris Olympics! I've known many of these incredible women since we were kids, and it's been an honor to compete alongside them over the years," Melichar-Martinez wrote. "I am immensely proud of each and every one of their accomplishments. Many have asked about my nomination, so I want to clarify what happened."
"I am absolutely eager and available to represent Team USA in Paris, but unfortunately, I was not selected. This news deeply saddens me, as it has been a long standing dream of mine to be on the team again and compete for a medal. In my humble opinion, the Olympic Games are the greatest honor we have in sports," she added.
The American tennis player cited an ITF regulation requiring players to be nominated by their national governing body, revealing she was not nominated despite qualifying based on her ranking. Melichar-Martinez expressed disagreement with the rule.
