More bad news for tennis, but this time it feels like it’s straight out of an episode ofCSI. Robin Haase’s coach, Mark de Jong, has been arrested in connection to the murder of businessman Koen Everink.
Jong has worked with Haase for years. The Dutchman is ranked No. 59 and withdrew from Miami with a knee injury.
“I am shocked. I can’t say any more than that at the moment,” Haase said.
Everink was stabbed to death in his home in March. Jong was arrested Thursday at the Schiphol airport in Amsterdam.
