Rio’s a go-go: the social round-up

There’s something going on this week. It’s hard to put your finger on it. It’s some event that some of the world’s best tennis players are turning up to, but a lot aren’t. If anyone has any ideas what we’re talking about don’t send your answers on a postcard.

Angie Kerber got something in her eye:
