And guys, this is your Served Five Setter for Friday, April 3rd. This is what we got for you. Sir Andy Murray wants to sell your sneakers made of beans. Monte Carlo's withdrawal list keeps growing. Alcaraz's coach says, what we're all thinking, maybe. And the Carolinas make a serious play for women's tennis. But first, the coaching carousel continues. Iga Swiatek parted ways with Wim Fassett after Miami and she moved on fast. Francisco Roy, Rafa's former coach for over two decades, part of the team for all of Rafa's 22 Grand Slam titles is officially her new coach. Iga confirmed it on Instagram from a clay court in Majorca posting, welcome to the team, Francisco, very excited for this new chapter. This makes sense. Iga's dropped to number four in the world, hasn't reached a final this season. Her game is the Spanish school, heavy top spin, extreme RPMs, grinding opponents behind the baseline. Royce has literally built his career coaching that style. The first tournament together for the duo, Stuttgart April 13th, clay season officially is on.
Speaking of making an official, Sir Andy Murray is officially in the shoe business. He announced his partnership with High Low, a British sustainable running shoe company in the most Andy Murray way possible. A mock press conference where the mics don't work, the stage is literally falling apart around him. Classic deadpan Scott Energy. Then a reporter asked him the question everyone's thinking. Is this about going after Roger Federer once again? Check out this clip.

I want to make this very clear. It's not about him.

That is the grin of a man who went 11 and 14 against Fredr, lost four Australian Open Finals, but also beat him at Wimbledon for Olympic gold in 2012, and won the whole damn thing in 2023 Now Andy's selling sneakers made of castor beans, corn and seaweed, meanwhile, Roddick's sitting on a 3% stake of On Running, a company valued at nearly $20 billion. His stake alone is worth around $375 million. Then you add in the unique low deal, the Rolex partnership, Mercedes, Moet and the Labor Cup. Forbes, as we've reported before, has Roger at $1.1 billion in net worth. Now Andy Murray is building himself quite the portfolio himself with Hilo, Castro and Game 4 Paddle. It appears that some rivalries may not ever leave the court, they just move into the boardroom. One thing that Andy Murray and Roger Federer do not have though is a podcast. So luckily for them, they can always come on our show, where we have our own Andy and a pretty damn good podcast, I think. But I'm biased.
