Day 714

• Aw, Phil, you went and did it, didn't you?  Not only is he backpedaling on his pro-Saudi-backed alternate-tour stance...
• But now he's lost two long-time sponsors as a result of opening his trap:  Amstel Light and KPMG.  With thanks to my anonymous friend golf fan who alerted me to the news.
• Latest tennis incident:  Alexander Zverev, thrown out of the Mexican Open for hitting the umpire chair with his racket in a doubles loss.  As a result, default, out of the rest of the tournament for the singles, no prize money.  He was the defending champion.
• So he's going to lose some more money for that, and could be suspended if this is deemed a repeat offense from a six-figure fine he got for similar at the 2019 Western and Southern Open...
• But he's got a bigger problem:  Domestic violence investigation with the ATP from last October.
• Continued disputes on the Brian Flores-Miami situation:  Flores claims an NDA was asked for as part of a severance settlement and he refused.  Miami denies the report.
