• PseudoFed is back to blogging at The Tennis Space. Mr. FauxFed makes a simple request to the Australian Open draw gods:

There isn’t much to say about this other than agreeing that we all would like Mr. Australia to bear in mind that I have reached a certain level, a certain, Je ne sais GOAT. So having Djokovic, Murray (Andrew, his brother, mother and any cousins) and Del Potro on the opposite side to me is best.

• Caroline Wozniacki, Andrea Petkovic and Robson will be wearing the adidas by Stella McCartney Barricade line this year .

• The Serbia Open is no more. The tournament, owned by Novak Djokovic's family, will cease operations.
