Cash back on court

World No. 8 Jack Sock’s Australian Open preparation suffered a setback when he was injured at the Hopman Cup in Perth yesterday, resulting in a surprise call-up for Australian veteran Pat Cash as a substitute.

Earlier, Japan’s Naomi Osaka had withdrawn from her singles match with CoCo Vandeweghe due to illness. The injury and illnesses meant the United States was awarded the match 2-1 via two walkover wins in the women’s singles and mixed doubles. And it also meant an unscheduled return to action by the 1987 Wimbledon champion Cash, who played in the first Hopman Cup back in 1989. He now coaches Vandeweghe and teamed up with her for an exhibition mixed doubles to entertain the crowd.
