What has been happening on social media in the tennis world?

Croatian Borna Coric has just scored the best win of his career. The lucky loser upset world No.1 Andy Murray in the Madrid third round – and got plenty of support on social media:

Paella is on the menu for Misaki Doi in Madrid:

The Croatian can’t hide from hotel bed problems though:

A forgetful Daria Gavrilova has another problem to deal with:

Luckily she has ‘supportive’ colleagues like Ana Konjuh and Belinda Bencic:

Roger Federer has practice on his mind in Dubai:

Leander Paes is looking back at former champions to get inspired… how ironic:

Former world No.1 Tracy Austin, who set many youngest player records during her career, is in awe that 46-year-old Kimiko Date is still battling it out on the ITF circuit:

Speaking of former world No.1s… actually, we don’t know what to say about Boris Becker here:

Oh social media, you never disappoint! #word
