Was Roger Federer exploring other career options during his time off? The Swiss maestro posted a video to his Twitter account of himself, Grigor Dimitrov and Tommy Haas singing “Hard To Say I’m Sorry,” the classic ‘80s song from American rock group Chicago.

But since most boy bands usually have five members, it remains to be seen which ATP World Tour players they could add into the mix.

Daniel Evans, No. 51 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, needed some tennis clothes ahead of the Australian Open. So Evans, whose contract with his previous clothing supplier, Nike, had ended last December, did what any normal person would do: He went shopping. “I just went to the store and bought a load of clothes the other day, plain clothes,” Evans said on Wednesday when asked about his fashion. The Brit had just beaten seventh seed Marin Cilic in the second round in Melbourne for the biggest win of his career. The shirts at Uniqlo, his store of choice, cost him $19.99.
