Doubles Take: Farah's pet project, Mladenovic tees off

Doubles Take looks at what the pros are up to off the court.

HITTING THE CLUBS

Kristina Mladenovic recently showed off how good she is with a golf club at home, nailing a trick shot from the top of the stairs.

Now, it appears the Frenchwoman is ready to take her skills to the next level.

Mladenovic, who recently posted a video of herself on the practice courts tuning up her groundies, is finding time to work on a new sport. Golf’s long been a favorite of many pros, and now it looks like the six-time doubles Grand Slam winner might be joining those ranks.

INTERIOR MOTIVES

The French Open, which would be kicking off this week, surely holds a special place in Ivan Dodig’s heart. After all, the Croatian’s three career Grand Slam titles have been won at Roland Garros.  While he can’t be in Paris right now, Dodig is taking time to focus on another of his interests, visiting Studio Keramike Brotis, an interior design studio in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Taking a tour of the studio, for whom he is a brand ambassador, the world No. 10 was granted a look at some of the latest trends.

ANIMAL MAGNETISM

Robert Farah has gone to the dogs, apparently.

Showing off his training skills, Farah—half of the men’s top-ranked doubles team with Juan Sebastian Cabal—tries to get his dogs, Taco and Roma, and a couple of their buddies to all share a meal together. Managing four is quite the feat, but he seems to do a fair job, and if you wanted to see more of Taco and Roma, they actually have their own Instagram account (@tacoandroma).

A HAPPY REUNION

One of the biggest bromances on the ATP Tour has to be the one between singles standout Alexander Zverev and former world No. 1 Marcelo Melo. The two recently reunited down in Florida for some training, golf and hanging out.

Sascha’s older brother Misha, retired WTA player Olga Savchuk and Sergei Bubka were also part of the gathering at Saddlebrook.
