UPDATE: Garin won his first-round match over Reilly Opelka, typically a force in tiebreakers, 7-6 (0), 7-5, 7-6 (7). After securing the French Open junior title six years ago on the red clay of Roland Garros, Chile’s Cristian Garin seemed certain to make a smooth transition into the men’s game.

When you watched Marta Kostyuk last week at the Australian Open, you saw great potential. The 15-year-old from Ukraine won two main-draw matches before falling to her much more experienced compatriot, Elina Svitolina. You also saw validation. Because while Kostyuk has a long way to go before her pro career

MELBOURNE—In the southeast corner of Show Court 2, the war cries came on every changeover. “Come on Taylor, come on Taylor, come on Taylor.” “Let’s go Taylor, let’s go Taylor, let’s go Taylor.” There they sat, eleven young men. All were clad in white tennis clothes. One had a shirt
