Fourhand is the Daily Spin's occasional roundup of various hits and misses on tour.
SCRIPT THIS: A movie about the life of Li Na, said to be based on her memoir, may see the light of day in 2016. It's on this year's roster for a Chinese studio called J.Q. Pictures, and may address Li's upbringing and "Soviet-style training" as a child up to her 2011 and 2014 major title victories. Lead casting speculation is rampant, of course, among China's top actors. But first, a script is needed.
BEARING ARMS: The Spanish Olympic Committee reportedly wants Rafael Nadal to serve as the country's flag bearer at the Games in Rio this summer. Rafa, not thrilled that hard courts were selected in lieu of his favored clay, would make for a solid pick. He'd also follow in the footsteps of Maria Sharapova, who carried the Russian flag at 2012's London Olympics, but seems likely to miss this year's Games in the wake of her meldonium admission and positive drug test. Interestingly enough, Spain apparently wishes to have Rafa wield its flag in light of recent doping accusations that a former sports official from France leveled against him.
KYRIOUS: In the erstwhile words of Mariah Carey, "Boy, why you so obsessed with me?" Nick Kyrgios seemingly drums up Nadal’s name half the time when he opts to go on mid-match rants directed toward chair umpires.
ROLL OUT: U.S. president Barack Obama blamed a whiffed backhand attempt on his "equipment" at the annual Easter Egg Roll event at the White House in Washington, D.C. Notable attendees from the tennis world at the event included USTA president Katrina Adams, USTA Foundation chairman James Blake, Chanda Rubin and Sloane Stephens. The USTA harbors an album of photos from the Obamas' last Easter outing in their current abode.
