The Baseline Top 5: Preseason workout combinations
Players on both tours relish working together before they have to
The “Monaco Squad” doesn’t have the monopoly on competitors getting together during the offseason for practice.
Though that epic combination was something else, other players on the WTA and ATP tours like to put each other through their paces in preparation for the grind ahead.
Here’s a look at five other offseason team-ups.
1
Lauren Davis and Monica Puig
There were surely some golden moments on-court between the American and the 2016 Olympic champ.
2
Andy Murray and Fabio Fognini
The Italian is the perfect player to give the former world No. 1 a good workout as he makes his way back to the tour.
3
Ivan Dodig and the Bryan Brothers
Bob and Mike also spent some time in the preseason hitting with another doubles stalwart, Robert Lindstedt.
4
Grigor Dimitrov, Horia Tecau and Jean-Julien Rojer
Imagine the two-on-ones between the ATP Finals champ and the US Open victors.
5
Joao Sousa and Dominic Thiem
The baseline battles between these two would be ferocious.
