Novak Djokovic may live the opposite of Die Hard—his biopic or memoir would more likely be titled Live Hard or even Play Harder—but that didn't stop him from meeting up with his sort-of co-star in The Expendables, Bruce Willis, at the L.A. Tennis Challenge on Monday evening.

For the die-hard Rafael Nadal fan or someone with serious cash to throw around, the famous Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort has unveiled the Rafael Nadal suite.

At a certain point, it’s probably best to stop hoping that a player will ever change from what she has always been. How many pros succeed in transforming themselves, in fixing their flaws and solving their riddles, in the middle of their careers? You can count them on one hand.

Rafael Nadal has many die-hard fans all around the world of all ages. That fact couldn't have been clearer than when a trio of children in Rome were absolutely giddy to collect headbands from the Spaniard. They even smelled the sweaty souvenirs right away.

• Picby Pete Bodo* Most eyes are focused on Rafael Nadal as we approach the first major event of the European clay-court season, the Monte Carlo Masters. But I’m equally curious about the prospects of the man who took the tennis world by the scruff of the neck and nearly

I am a die-hard Albert P [ujols]. and St. Louis Cardinals fan. However, even I believe that Roger Federer deserved this award. Wade?? Another poor choice from a league that no longer interests the average american reader. - Stlgirl, at the SI.com feedback page. "He just went off the charts,"

Three points from a wild comeback victory, Emma Navarro pulled off the shot of the day to help the United States take a 2-0 lead over Belgium in the Billie Jean King Qualifier match in Orlando. Leading 5-3 in the third set against 19-year-old Hanne Vanderwinkel, Navarro ran to cover

1. Roger, are you a man or a machine? It’s getting hard to tell. “Ich bin wie ein computer,” Federer told German newspaper Die Welt in an interview before the Masters Cup. He said he’s surprised to find that he can now analyse and figure out opponent’s games during a

103696539 by Pete Bodo NEW YORK—Let's get right down to business on Day One of the U.S. Open, shall we? Andy Roddick and Kim Clijsters, two players who have won the U.S. Open but no other major, are featured on today's day card here at the National Tennis Center. And

“He’s not going to die wondering.” That was the reaction Darren Cahill had in the commentator’s booth after watching Dominic Thiem hit a screaming forehand winner past Roger Federer on Sunday. I’d never heard the term, but it was appropriate—both as a description of the shot, and of Thiem’s effort

"I thought I was going to die," Caroline Wozniacki gasped, moments after completing the New York City Marathon today. She did anything but that, clocking an impressive time of three hours and 26 minutes. That's a 7:53-per-mile pace. The secret? Filling up on popcorn the night before, while hanging out

Steve, It’s well past teatime here at Wimbledon, and I’ve seen some pretty entertaining stuff today. The highlight was watching the fans live and die with Henman over five sets on Court 1. High English drama at its finest. Federer looked absolutely awesome, Blake’s return of serve is downright obnoxious,

The first week of a Grand Slam is typically where tennis stories go to die. In the age of 32 seeds, when the top players are sheltered from danger until the middle weekend, stunning upsets are a rare commodity. And the controversies that do arise tend to be long forgotten

Let’s face it—only a select few will ever get to play at Wimbledon. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t test your skills on a grass court. Playing on grass presents a unique experience that’s quite different than hard or clay surfaces. It has a soft, spongey feel that easy on

Jessica Pegula took to Instagram to expose “delusional” sports betters following a fourth-round upset to world No. 361 Lois Boisson at Roland Garros. “A thread on the insane people that bet on tennis,” wrote the American on her Instagram story. “Viewer discretion advised (seriously).” Just quit playing tennis and enjoy

Beating Rafael Nadal once during the European clay-court swing is tough. Beating him twice? That’s something only Novak Djokovic knows how to do. On Saturday in Rome, 20-year-old Stefanos Tsitsipas was trying to join that elite company of one. Seven days earlier, in the Madrid semifinals, he had attacked the

Daniil Medvedev warned a chair umpire that he was about to “die” in the withering heat. Top women’s seed Ash Barty was bounced from the singles draw before the ink was dry on the drawsheet. Andy Murray swallowed his pride and flipped a familiar script, withdrawing from the singles in
