As documented here, there, and everywhere, Pablo Cuevas has made the most of his quaran-time since landing in Australia for the year's first major. Among the 72 players quarantined for 14 days after their flights to Melbourne were found to have people with COVID-19, some have opined at length on

A peculiarly scorching sun had its way with the Wimbledon grass over this fortnight. But the sun also sets. Here, our ongoing roundup of passing shots from SW19, a curated much-ado-about-everything–if a bit less manicured than the Wimble-lawns themselves. See No. 9. 8 This one’s for you, Johanna Konta and

Felix Auger-Aliassime took a ride in Clyde, Tennis Channel’s Confessional Cart while he was in Indian Wells. While that feels like it was years ago, it was only last month that players flocked to the desert in full anticipation of the BNP Paribas Open. Now the Montreal native's 2020 season

It wasn't the kind of night session Flushing Meadows is normally known for, but Denis "Night Train" Shapovalov, as he does with so many things, made it his own. With a barrage of swerving aces ...

Is the ATP's resident bad boy turning over a new leaf? Just days after retiring from a Citi Open match in Washington, D.C. to a chorus of boos, Nick Kyrgios had a decidedly more positive interaction with the spectators at Rogers Cup in Montreal. He complied with a fan’s Twitter

97878731 Howdy. Huge day, and not just for Robin Soderling (who took out Andy Murray at Indian Wells) or Jelena Jankovic, who sorely needed the the confidence that comes with playing a championship match again. It's a big day because we're picking up our dog, a golden retriever/lab/hound cross who

Our What's Next? series looks at every player who finished in the ATP or WTA Top 10 this season, and considers their future in three different ways.

Well, I lost what little chance I had to watch - as well as comment on - the Venus Williams vs. Justine Henin semifinal today when Svetlana Kuznetsova and Anna Chakvetadze decided to play one of the all-time stinker semfinals at the US Open. In fact, this train wreck of

WATCH: Cerúndolo is 0-2 in Milan after dropping robin robin clashes against Brandon Nakashima and Holger Rune.

In the bottom-line world of pro sports, we tend to judge players, especially young ones, by one thing: Whether they won or lost. Prodigies one day, talented teenagers who haven't "broken through" by age 21 are immediately called "busts." Some people are already growing impatient with Grigor Dimitrov because he's

I first watched Anna Chakvetadze play in 2007, when she came to Stowe, Vermont, to represent Russia in Fed Cup. She's been through a lot since then, both professionally and personally. Once in the Top 5, she fell outside the Top 100 this summer and is still having difficulty winning

Here, another video edition of the Fourhand series. Let's get to it, shall we? ERROR FROM THE CHAIR We are all too human. That said, chair umpire Damien Steiner biffed a call in the Novak Djokovic–Andy Murray quarterfinal match at the Sony Open on Wednesday, with Djokovic reaching over the

Well, I just wanted to sneak in a quick last post to say that I’m soon off to that exotic municipality where the citizenry speaks this strange language, Austrian, and is wont to accost you, right in the street, with a lusty cry of “Guten Tag!” My reply, usually, is

Picby Pete Bodo **WIMBLEDON, England—Mornin'. The women's final is almost upon us, and I'm probably one of the few people here in the press room who isn't prepared to hand Serena Williams the title and fast forward to the Andy Murray vs. Roger Federer men's final. There's no doubt that

Mornin', everyone. As I mentioned the other day, I am off for a week's vacation on the island of Vieques bright and early tomorrow morning. And I leave you with just three words: Beware. . .Robin . . . Soderling. In reaching today's final of the ominously named Open 13

It has been said that behind every great man stands a great woman. It can also be said, in the arena of tennis, that behind every winner stands one—at least one—who champions him. That's certainly the case in the coach-player relationship between Andy Murray and Ivan Lendl in 2012. After

Bernard Tomic has hired Croatian Velimir Zovko as a co-coach to instruct him along with his suspended father, John. The Tomics are also of Croatian origin. Zovko has coached WTA player Jelena Kostanic as well as Russia’s Polina Leykina. Upon hearing of the hire, former Top 3 player Ivan Ljubicic
