Vijay Amritraj has stated that Carlos Ramos could have given Serena Williams a warning during the break in the women's final of the US Open. As the Serena Williams controversy continues, Amritraj believes that Ramos could only hold on to the rules, while failing to maintain decorum.

Alexander Zverev has stated that he had appointed Ivan Lendl to his coaching team as he looks to convert his burgeoning potential into Grand Slam success. Zverev posted a message on Instagram welcoming Lendl to his team with the pair having trained together in Florida this year.

The 2017 season has given the Grand Slam Board a lot to ponder upon and they have released a list of changes after their meeting, in London, that could be enforced in 2018. A major change would be the players being penalized if they decide to withdraw just before a tournament or in the first round.

Grand Slam Board has threatened Italian ace Fabio Fognini with a two-year ban and $96,000 fine after the 30-year-old was found guilty of misconduct at the US Open six weeks ago. He is in danger of missing out on two Grand Slams, including US open, if he commits another major offence before 2020.
