He may have been born in Czechoslovakia, but tennis legend Ivan Lendl has spent the better part of the last 40 years in Connecticut, where he has recently sold his 18,000-square-foot mansion for $12 million. The auction took place in Litchfield County last week, which is tucked into the country's 48th largest state's northeast corner, according to CTInsider.com. It was designed for him and his family in 1992 by architect Allan Greenberg, but Lendl was born in Greenwich, Connecticut, eight years ago, when he was still the best-ranked men's tennis player in the country. According to Zillow, the 10-bedroom, 15-bathroom home sits on 445.6 acres and has gradually decreased in value since 2021, when it was listed for $16.5 million. The property has a horse paddock, barn, a conjoined indoor/outdoor pool, sauna, gym, and, of course, a tennis court.

Andy Murray was promising to do it for everybody, he said. For himself, mainly of course, and for his mentor Ivan Lendl, to whom he came first after the traditional display of Centre Court mountaineering. It was also for the remainder of his support staff, his family, the entire country, and Dunblane in particular. For the love of God, he even said he was struggling to do it for those he knows in the media. It's no surprise that the 12-minute game that brought him his incredible journey to Wimbledon was to become one of the most thrilling passages of play in British history.

What do Ivan Lendl, Pep Guardiola and George Ford have in common? They had all planned for a career in coaching long before they resigned from playing. Ford's 30 has only had a few years in the tank, but the No. 10 has long been known as one of rugby's most astute technicians. He confessed this week that if he does not play, he would like to step into the coaching role, but England's tactical acumen is already being put to use as England tries to expedite their World Cup preparations.

KIERAN GILL: Andy Murray's impeccable start to the grass court season continued as he advanced to Nottingham's quarter-finals in front of the watching Ivan Lendl. On Centre Court yesterday, the Scot, 36, achieved a clean sweep of British winners after winnings for Katie Boulter, Harriet Dart, and Jodie Burrage, all of whom progressed to the last eight. Murray, who won his first grass title in seven years in Surbiton last week, is aiming to be one of Wimbledon's 32 seeds this summer. He still has work to do with his current world ranking of 44, but with the support of Lendl, his on-off mentor who led him to SW19 glory in 2013 and 2016, he's sure to be on the right track.

Andy Murray said he had to 'put his ego to one side' to join Ivan Lendl for the third time. He'll be feeling grateful that he did. Theirs is one of the most fruitful player-coach relationships tennis has seen. Murray won the 2012 US Open under Lendl's tutelage, putting an end to all the years of Brit failure at Wimbledon in 2013. The Scots will reunite in June 2016, and by the time of the year, they would have ranked No. 1 in the world after winning their second Wimbledon title, Olympic gold, and victory in the ATP World Tour Finals after splitting in March 2014.

MATTE DICKSON – AND THE SAME EVENT HAPPENING OF Andy Murray was blown out of Wimbledon by the power of a major Italian Matteo Bertini was replicated at the US Open on Friday night. Despite causing an opening that might have turned the game into a decider, the 35-year-old Scot went down 6-4, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3, 6-3 in three hours and 47 minutes. Despite his best efforts in SW19, Giant American John Isner did for him in SW19, meaning Murray is now out of a Grand Slam for the second week, something he hasn't achieved since the summer of 2017.

In the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Flushing Meadows, Andy Murray starts his latest US Open campaign against Argentine No. 24 seed Francisco Cerundolo.
