Phone withdrawals: the social round-up

What can we learn from today’s social round-up?

Mobile phone addiction is a real thing, just ask Genie Bouchard:

Day 7 with no phone update: withdrawal symptoms decreasing, notice an increase in attention span and patience… ????

If mobile phones did not exist, players like Yaroslava Shvedova would not be able to share travel selfies:

Working in Rome #rome #coliseum #ibi16

Stars like Maria Sharapova would not be able to make practice session videos like this:

We would not get emoji insights from Stan Wawrinka:

Good to be back in #rome ! Great first match yesterday night!! ?????????????????????????????????????????????? pic.twitter.com/CnQxIKEFwT

Or be able to send birthday wishes to players like Christina McHale:

Thanks so much for all the bday wishes ???? #24 pic.twitter.com/c3xODM2yC4

And how would Nick Kyrgios organise gaming sessions with Jack Sock and Vasek Pospisil?

@JackSock @VasekPospisil In and out today boys we got so much FIFA and Cod to play ????????????????????????

It is pretty clear that players love their phones, so if you borrow their charger make sure you give it back in a timely manner. Isn’t that right John-Patrick Smith?

Hey @Liambroady, how's that "I need to borrow your phone charger for an hour", but turns out to be 15 hours coming along?

Lucky there is always gelato to bring a smile to your face. Kevin Anderson can’t hide his, even after a loss:

Rome has got to be one of the best cities in the world to drown your sorrows after a tough match! ???????????????? pic.twitter.com/Rx5gXu0Typ
