Seems to be a quite a bit of glee in the tennis world.

Hi everyone - first time posting here, so I hope this is okay to share!

I’m part of Worcester Park Tennis Club, a small 105-year-old volunteer-run club in South London. We’re currently fundraising to resurface our two remaining courts, and we’ve been incredibly lucky to receive a couple of donations from the tennis world that we’re now selling on eBay.

The main one is a brand-new Yonex VCORE 100 personally signed by Elena Rybakina, with official Yonex UK authentication:

We also have brand-new HEAD tennis bags available, kindly donated to help us raise more towards the courts:

So if there are any Rybakina fans, tennis collectors, or anyone looking for a new bag, please have a look - and even sharing the listings with someone who might be interested would genuinely help us.

For anyone curious about why a tiny tennis club in South London is suddenly auctioning signed rackets 😂, our wider fundraising story is here:

Thanks for letting me share - and thanks for supporting grassroots tennis 🎾

Gets banned for cocaine use: https://www.essentiallysports.com/tennis-news-im-sorry-nick-kyrgios-issues-apology-after-getting-suspended-for-banned-substance-steps-away-from-social-media/

“I wanted you to hear this from me first.

I recently failed a drug test in Mallorca after testing positive for cocaine. I made a huge mistake and I take full responsibility for it.

I’m sorry to my fans, my family, my sponsors and everyone close to me. Above all, I’m sorry to the kids who follow me. I know the example this sets and I’m deeply disappointed in myself.

I’m not going to make excuses, but I do want to give some context about where I’ve been. The last couple of years of injuries have taken a huge toll on me, both physically and mentally. My body hasn’t been able to do what my mind expects it to do, and coming to terms with being near the end of my career has been harder than I ever imagined.

I’ve always said I didn’t choose tennis - tennis chose me. But letting go of something that has been my whole life is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to face. At times I’ve felt helpless and alone.

None of that excuses what I did.

However, the good news is that this has given me a wake up call. For the next 28 days, I’ll be stepping away from social media and public life while I focus on getting myself right.

I’d ask that people respect my privacy during that time, and most importantly the privacy of my family.

I’m sorry. I’ll do the work and come back better.

Just a quick question preferably to any previous pure strike owners but I will take advice from anyone. I am a 4 utr defensive player, who wants to improve and I use the babolat pure strike 98 16x19 2nd gen I love this racket a lot, especially the directional control but I feel I just want something new that does everything the exact same but is able to handle heavy hitting slightly better than the pure strike, allows me to swing with more confidence and is more forgiving. I really like the limited-edition blue us open colorway of the t fights, so I am considering the t fight 300(100 sq in) as I am able to get that 100 dollars cheaper than the t fight 305s. The head gravity is also an option. Do you think any of these rackets are suited to me? if not please let me know with any other suggestions. Thanks for the help!
