• And the Swiss celebrations didn't end there:

• Wawrinka withdrew from this week's Moselle Open and tournament organizers aren't happy about it.

• A must-read on Francis Tiafoe, Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports, and the search for the next big thing.

According to one person in the room, Jay Z seemed impressed as Tiafoe spoke briefly but with passion about his craft and his goals. Jay Z went on to explain that Roc Nation Sports doesn’t recruit just anyone; Tiafoe was special. (As if to prove the point, Beyoncé walked in, wearing the fishnet mask she wore for the show’s opening number, “’03 Bonnie & Clyde,” and warmly greeted Tiafoe’s entourage.) Tiafoe later bragged to friends, “We got pretty tight.” In fact, he’d seemed to others almost too nervous to speak.
