She later penned a rambling, first-person essay for Sport360, musing about how she deemed her home-country crowd ultimately quite fair to her opponent, and aired dirty laundry on her non-relationship with her ex-doubles partner Caroline Garcia.

At an ATP Challenger in Nottingham, Brydan Klein was given a game penalty by chair umpire Mohamed Lahyani after netting a return off a Sam Groth serve. Klein can be heard yelling: "Stupid, stupid person. Hit it."

He will juggle the new coaching role with his duties as Australia's Davis Cup captain.
