It’s almost time to start the new season, and some top players like Sascha Zverev, Denis Shapovalov, Dayana Yastremska, and Maria Sakkari gave their updates to the fans.
Sascha Zvere and girlfriend Brenda Patea
The German seems to be inseparable from his new stunning girlfriend, Brenda Patea. They spent together the holidays during Sascha’s off season in Mexico and the US (New York). Brenda joined his boyfriend in Florida where he is getting ready for 2020. It seems that the German model tried to play some tennis with Sascha. We are not sure about the outcome, but their picture was great.
Shapovalov ending his practice
Denis had an interesting 2019. After reaching the semifinals in Miami, he looked almost incapable of winning a match anymore until he started his partnership with his new coach Mikhail Youzhny. From that moment, things went from bad to good to great. The Canadian won his maiden title in Stockholm before reaching the final at the MasterATP1000 in Bercy. Denis is finetuning his offseason right now before heading to Australia for the ATP Cup.

Dayana Yastremska and her training
The Ukrainian will be one of the players to watch on the WTA tour in 2020. She has huge potential and a great personality. In addition, she partnered with Sascha Bajin that is a coach that has never disappointed with his results. After 4 weeks of hard training, she is heading to Singapore with Brisbane as the first destination in Australia.
