The obstacles one encounters in life can often seem insurmountable. For 13-year-old tennis player Conner Stroud, it’s easy to point to his lack of hips or feet as a reason to abstain from playing the game he loves so much. But, in reality, his biggest hurdle on the court has

From career titles and winning streaks to ranking breakthroughs and in-match numbers, tennis is a stat-lover’s playground. And with so many big names achieving so many big things seemingly every week, many of the sport's most incredible stats are forgotten as time goes by—underrated, if you will. Grand Slams tend

Read our preview of that match here—as well as the following profile, from the January/February 2021 issue of Tennis Magazine. “I’m one of the worst storytellers, and that’s a known fact,” Brady says.

For starters, what’s up with the scoring? 15, 30, 40, love? Seriously? How are we supposed to remember which is the ad court and which is the deuce court? Where else can two athletes battle it out for 11 hours over three days, playing a total of five sets and
