Words exchanged after AB/H match v Rachel/Christian Hayden and Anna won 11-5, 11-2 At the handshake, everyone did shake hands, but then Christian Alshon said something that offended both Hayden and Anna After the commercial break, Dave Fleming shared that Alshon said “Must be nice to not play singles”. Ireland Horvat with the sideline news on this one. My Take: IF that is actually what was said, I think that is one of the softest things to say after getting beat 5&2. Just congratulate and move on. Alshon had multiple hours between singles and playing mixed. Additionally, he has the same opportunity to not play singles as Hayden. No one forces these players to play singles, especially the top 10 players.
