There's been one heightened display of emotionalism after another at this Australian Open—David Nalbandian, anyone?—and just about every instance of it has been warranted. From lame line calls (or non-calls) to the crowd raining down boos after a sportsman's slight to the never-ending tizzy over the women's finalists' sound effects,

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP)—Overzealous fans at the Australian Open’s so-called “Party Court”—a venue equipped with a bar—grew so loud that a nearby match was moved to a different arena. “When I saw the bar, I was thinking it’s going to be a pretty rowdy atmosphere,” said Jacob Fearnley, a 23-year-old from

After losing in four sets to Britain's Andy Murray at Roland Garros in front of a raucous crowd, France's Richard Gasquet says his opponent was "so lucky during the second set, so many shots, not far away. He was so lucky. But then during the beginning of the third set

The state of Madrid’s tierra azul—I can only say “blue clay” so many times a day—is in flux as I write this. Everyone is forming an opinion as they go, and no two reactions have been exactly the same. Serena has gone from calling it “ridiculous” to telling us that

CHICAGO (AP) — Like so many tennis fans around the world, Nathan Willett was captivated by Carlos Alcaraz's five-set victory over Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final this summer. All the twists and turns, spectacular shots and impressive rallies. Only Willett was on the road with the Cold War Kids,

It's been a rough year, to say the very least. But one of the positives has been the explosion of TikTok into (almost) everyone's daily online lives. The app has given players an outlet for their creativity during a confusing era. So, without further ado, here are some of the

Laura Robson jokes that she and her new coach, Miles Maclagan, don’t quite see eye-to-eye on off court pursuits yet. “He wouldn’t come with me yesterday to a horror movie so we are not gelling that well,” she told reporters in Birmingham. “It’s good so far, we have only had

If you’re a U.S. tennis fan who went to bed at your normal hour on Sunday night, you didn’t miss much at the Australian Open. In fact, you did exactly the right thing. On the sport’s unofficial opening day of 2018, America sent 15 players into battle, and only three

NEW YORK—Tennis is a sport with serious heft these days because it is blessed with the “Big Three” (Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic), but one of the more intriguing subtexts in the sport is that it wouldn’t take all that much for tennis to be all about a “Super

I’m trying to enjoy the moments on the court, but there is so much stress and pressure going on that it’s hard to have fun, so to say, on the court. It’s really about finding a way to navigate through the match and win. Novak Djokovic, following his straight-sets quarterfinal

It's kind of late, I'm wasted from two non-stop weeks, and I'm going to keep this brief and unsentimental. It was a blast writing TennisWorld for these past two-plus weeks, and I really appreciate the way so many of you stepped up to comment on my posts. I need to

Sara Errani complains about Alize Cornet's so-called antics after her 7-5, 7-6 (3) victory over the Frenchwoman in the third round of Toronto. "I just say to her why she was saying 'Vamos' and not 'Allez.' Normally she say 'Allez,' so I thought, why you say 'Vamos?'," Errani said. Errani

Novak Djokovic walked back to the baseline, stared at his strings and flashed the slimmest hint of a smile. He had reached match point for the sixth time in his semifinal against Rafael Nadal at the BNP Paribas Open, and he had done it with a trademark touch of Djokovichian

Roger Federer says he was not keen to shut out Andy Murray in their round-robin match at the ATP World Tour Finals, in which Federer dropped just one game. “Not so cool,” he said, when asked about his reaction to finding himself up 6-0, 5-0. “Because I wouldn't want to

After Miami, where he reached the semis, Denis Shapovalov appears to have split with his previous coach, Rob Steckley. The switch comes just as Shapovalov has broken into the top 20 in the rankings, despite a so-so start that saw him go 9-6 this season before Miami and fall 6-0
