Restricted free-agent defenseman Jacob Trouba has requested a trade from the Winnipeg Jets, citing a lack of opportunity with the team.Trouba will not be attending Jets training camp, his agent, Kurt Overhardt, said Saturday.Overhardt said no negotiations on a new contract have taken place the past several months.The situation is not about money. It is solely about our client having the opportunity to realize his potential as a right-shot NHL defenseman, Overhardt said in a statement.Kevin Cheveldayoff, the Jets executive vice president and general manger, responded with a statement Saturday night.Over the last three seasons, Jacob Trouba has played a key role for the Winnipeg Jets and in our view still represents an important part of the long-term future of our club, Cheveldayoff said. As such, any decisions made regarding Jacob Trouba will be made in the best interest of the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club.As an unsigned player, we cannot compel Jacob to report to training camp at this time. However, we will continue to work diligently to resolve this matter.The Trouba camp cited the Jets depth on defense, especially right-handed shot defensemen, including Dustin Byfuglien and Tyler Myers. Both are signed to long-term contracts.Our client has nothing but respect for the people and City of Winnipeg, the Winnipeg Jets, its fans, management and ownership. Our desire to get him moved has everything to do with opportunity, Overhardt said.Trouba was part of Team North America in the World Cup and was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2012 draft. The 22-year-old Rochester, Michigan, native had 21 points in 81 games last season.I didnt want it to get to this point, Trouba told TSN. To not play is not what I want.

This isnt a generation of tennis players known for their hard drinking. The usually-teetotal Andy Murray was once so squiffy after a couple of glasses of champagne that he brushed his teeth with face cream.So the Wimbledon Diary was more than a little surprised to hear the news from the wine industry that Novak Djokovic -- a man more partial to liquorice tea, or warm water, than anything intoxicating -- will soon be producing his own booze. If Djokovic is looking for a distraction after the calamity that was his third-round defeat to Americas Sam Querrey, he could do worse than ponder his plans for the five hectares of land he has bought in the Sumadija wine region in Serbia. While the plot is currently woodland, its believed that planting will begin in the spring.With his allergy to gluten, Djokovic will never touch beer or wheat-distilled vodka. And he will never have a sip of alcohol during a tournament. But he does occasionally have a glass of red wine between events. I dont consider it an alcoholic drink. I consider it a holy drink, something that can be used as a curative, Djokovic once wrote. Weve all heard about studies that show red wine is good for your heart. However, as Djokovic disclosed, he doesnt drink much as he finds the resulting acidity in his digestive system can be uncomfortable.Strawberry lovers hungry for moreThe publics appetite for strawberries has never been greater.

With dad not at the tournament, it would appear that Serena and Venus sister Isha has taken on that role. When Venus and Serena practised together, Isha was there in the corner of the court with her phone, making sure the occasion was captured on camera.Fashionista support very much in vogueAnna Wintour, the editor of American Vogue, and the inspiration for the film and book The Devil Wears Prada, doesnt smile much. Unless, of course, she is sitting in Roger Federers guests-box on Centre Court, as she was on Monday. Wintour might be interested to know that The Devil Wears Prada author, Lauren Weisberger, has written a new book about tennis, The Singles Game.According to Weisbergers website, the book is a dishy tell-all about a beautiful tennis prodigy who, after changing coaches, suddenly makes headlines on and off the court. The protagonist is a young American, Charlotte Charlie Silver, who makes a pact with the devil, an infamously brutal tennis coach, and finds herself catapulted into a world of celebrity stylists, private parties, charity matches aboard mega-yachts, and secret dates with Hollywood royalty. To research the book, Weisberger spent some time around the tennis circuit. Being on tour sounds so sexy, she has said. But the reality of it is the opposite.Wintour might just be the best connected woman in tennis. After sitting with Federers entourage, she was later in Serena Williams support-box for her match on Centre Court. ' ' '
