Hey, everyone. Some housekeeping:
• Start with the big tennis media news: Tennis Channel and WTA have reached a five-year agreement that will make the network the U.S. television and digital media home of the WTA, beginning in January 2019. Running from the first week of January through late October's annual tour championships, the partnership includes Premier and International tournaments as well as the WTA Finals, representing more than 2,000 matches each season.
• If bias were career momentum, I’d be Naomi Osaka here. But I do think this is a win all around. Good for the WTA.
