The tennis season is drawing to a close, which means the “how can we change tennis?” season is getting underway again. As 2023 turns to 2024, though, the rumblings of change seem a little more serious, and potentially transformative, than usual. We can blame—or thank—Saudi Arabia’s LIV golf tour for

Rafa_2By Rosangel Valenti, TW Contributing Editor Good morning. As always, this is your place to gather and discuss or match-call today's tennis from Wimbledon. As we expect heavy traffic here today, we'd be grateful if you could keep the subject on tennis, and wait until the day's matches are over

After crushing world No. 4 David Ferrer in the Acapulco final, Rafael Nadal confirms that he will play the Masters Series tournament at Indian Wells next week and believes that he is close to an elite level again. For the first time since his comeback from knee trouble last month,

YESTERDAY (July 7) San Diego Aviators d. Austin Aces, 23-11 Two Mylan WTT teams made their debut on Monday night, and it was the home team that came out victorious. The San Diego Aviators picked up wins in four of the five sets on the night to beat the Austin

As the second set between Serena Williams and Li Na progressed today, I thought I had a good opening joke for this Racquet Reaction: “At least the chair umpire was on her game today.” A few minutes later, naturally, the umpire made an incorrect overrule. Apparently, she couldn't escape the

NEW YORK—Sam Stosur came into today's quarterfinal against Vera Zvonareva having won her last seven matches against the Russian (7-2 overall) and on a bit of a run. The Aussie recently reached the Toronto final and even more recently defeated Maria Kirilenko on Grandstand—the same court she played on today—this

Felix Auger-Aliassime’s most common expression on a tennis court is to show no expression at all. For an 18-year-old, the Canadian is remarkably self-controlled; he doesn’t waste energy fist-pumping or exhorting himself when things are going well, or writhing in agony when things aren’t. But on Wednesday in Madrid, Auger-Aliassime

As usual, please use this post for discussing or match-calling today's tennis-related events at the All-England Lawn Tennis and Crocquet Club.

Mornin'. I'm feeling on top things today because I'm posting this at 9:20 AM, giving you plenty of time to get warmed up chit-chatting about today's schedule, which begins with David Nalbandian and Rafael Nadal squaring off on Ashe. This could be an upset special; Nadal isn't a morning kind

by Bobby Chintapalli, Contributing Writer As we kick off Day 2 of the WTA Championships in Istanbul, here are a few numbers—odds and ends, really—on the players in action today. But first let's look at today’s matches and standings: The Matches 1. Red Group: Samantha Stosur vs. Victoria Azarenka ?

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Andy Murray had one thing on his mind as he walked off the court with the Australian Open runner-up trophy, yet again: Would he make his early-morning flight back to Britain to be with his wife Kim, who is about to give birth to their first child?

A few weeks ago, Taylor Fritz rose to a new career-high ranking of No. 4 in the world, becoming the first American man to be ranked in the Top 4 since Andy Roddick in August of 2007. Now, his feat gets even better. The ATP’s year-end rankings are out today,

I don't have much time to post today; still at the IMG Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy, then catching a late flight back to New York. I had a nice long talk with Taylor Dent today, and also caught up with Jelena Jankovic and Sabine Lisicki. In half an hour, I'm

Mornin', folks. Those of you who have been desk jockeys since the opening day at Roland Garros can immerse yourself in tennis once again today. Happy Saturday. I'll be at my usual post today, but not entirely sure what I'll be writing about. I'm eyeing up the Court Suzanne Lenglen
