PARIS, France — Good friends and frequent practice partners Mirra Andreeva and Daria Kasatkina are set to face off on Monday for a spot in the Roland Garros quarterfinals. Before their on-court clash, the pair shared some lighter moments behind-the-scenes of a recent episode of the No. 17 seed’s popular

Zheng Qinwen has yet to lose a set through three rounds of Roland Garros, but the Olympic champion was nonetheless left particularly impressed by what she saw on the other side of the net on Friday in her third-round match against Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko. "For sure she will be

ROME, Italy—Paris wasn’t a priority when a teenaged Tommy Paul made his first trip to Europe. “It was weird,” the now-28-year-old American told me at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia, “because I came

PARIS (AP) — In all sports, there are advantages to being at home. At Roland Garros, being a visitor playing against a French player can feel as though the whole world is against you. The crowds don't just cheer. They boo, they whistle, they make noise between serves, they hurl

PARIS—Jannik Sinner says he expects a “different” reception from the Parisian crowds this year, as he set out to temper expectations ahead of his return to Roland Garros. Last year, Sinner arrived at the clay-court Grand Slam riding a historic winning streak and in dominant form, and reached the semifinals

This year’s Roland Garros promises to be wildly entertaining. Iga Swiatek, who has won this tournament in four of the last five years, is struggling like never before. The Pole hasn’t won a tournament since the 2024 season, and her 2025 European clay-court swing has been rather disappointing. While it

In most ways, the women’s draw at Roland Garros doesn’t look much different than it did the last few years. Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff are still at the top of the seedings; last year’s surprise runner-up, Jasmine Paolini, is a not-so-surprising fourth seed now; and last year’s teenage semifinalist,

It's no secret that the professional tennis tour is full of basketball lovers: from Coco Gauff and Nick Kyrgios, to Alexander Zverev and Frances Tiafoe, and that Dallas Mavericks legend and retired NBA champion Dirk Nowitzki may have been an ATP player had his youth taken a different turn. But

With two back-to-back 1000-level tournaments in the rearview and a Grand Slam on the horizon, the clay-court calendar has hit a rare lull. For pros not competing in last-minute tune-up events—like the Bitpanda Hamburg Open or the Internationaux de Strasbourg—this in-between week raises a familiar question: What’s the best way

It’s no secret Nick Kyrgios is a bit of a foodie. The Aussie famously brought a full plate of sushi to a Wimbledon press conference, chowing down as he answered questions; he’s featured renowned chef Gordon Ramsay on an episode of his show Good Trouble and his social media has

After his Rome final victory over Jannik Sinner on Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz was asked if he reached out to his rival during the Italian’s three-month ban from the sport. The question appeared to circle back on comments Sinner made going into his first tournament back, where he shared, "At the

Following consecutive ATP Masters 1000 clay-court tournaments, the Mutua Madrid Open and Internazionali BNL d’Italia, comes five storylines ahead of Roland Garros. Here's what we're taking away going into Paris: 1. Per Usual, Two at the Top The seemingly monolithic structure of an individual sport such as tennis has invariably

For the first time ever, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will clash in the final of a 1000-level event. On Sunday, the two superstars—responsible for the last five Grand Slam titles—will battle for the Internazionali BNL d’Italia trophy. Alcaraz has been regarded as the best clay-court player in the world,

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — WTA Tour chairman Steve Simon has informed the organization's board of directors he plans to retire in December, the women's tennis circuit announced Thursday. Simon was tournament director of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California, for 13 years before he was hired as

Roger Federer said he would inevitably end up trying more drop shots than usual in Rome, in part, he admitted, because the fans there love that artful finesse play so much. Judging from Jannik Sinner’s 7-6 (2), 6-3 win over Francisco Cerundolo on Tuesday, that’s still true today. Even—or especially—when

Jannik Sinner vs. Francisco Cerundolo 🖥️ Stream live here, on TennisChannel.com (9 a.m. ET) Cerundolo is due for a win of this magnitude. At 26, the Argentine has taken a step up since the beginning of March, making the quarterfinals at hard-court Masters 1000s in Indian Wells and Miami, and

ROME, Italy—Just over a month removed from his first Masters 1000 title at the Miami Open, not much has changed for Jakub Mensik. On the court, anyway. “The media and fan attention, the crowds, that’s all different,” the 19-year-old told me in his at-times brooding monotone. “I’m quite enjoying it,”

Jasmine Paolini vs. Jelena Ostapenko The Italian and the Latvian bring very different energies to the court, and to their games. Paolini is the smiling speedster with the whippy topspin strokes. Ostapenko is the woman of many expressions who never saw a call she couldn’t question, and who crunches every

Big titles—everyone wants them, but not everyone has them. For the men, “big titles” are the three highest levels of title: Grand Slams, the ATP Finals and Masters 1000s. The Olympic gold medal, which only comes around once every four years, also counts. They’re not easy to come by, even
