Tennis players often are said to put forth superhuman efforts to win intense tennis matches. But what superpower would the world's best men pick if given the choice? This week, we found out. Some players made their selections based on how the enhanced ability would help the tennis games. Take

Who says the tail end of the season isn’t newsworthy? Certainly not the players, as there are still three weeks of competition to fuel the race to the year-ending championships on both tours. But it’s not all work and no play. Life on the professional circuit can be grinding, so

It’s essentially become the norm on the ATP Tour now, players either proving they’re far from done past the age of 30, as seen by the Grand Slam-winning ways of the current Top 3, or posting their career-best results at a stage when athletes of the past would be eyeing

It was tears again for Juan Martin del Potro, but tears of joy this time. Two days after losing the longest match in Olympics singles history to Roger Federer, del Potro secured Argentina’s first medal of the London 2012 Olympics as he defeated Novak Djokovic, 7-5, 6-4. Del Potro had

Aryna Sabalenka is on another winning streak after scoring a 7-6(5), 6-3 second-round win over Daria Kasatkina at the Australian Open. The 15 matches she won dating back to last fall made her an early favorite ahead of the first major tournament of 2021, but the Belarusian believes she learned

INDIAN WELLS, CALIF.—For those of us who are forever scanning the tennis horizon for the game’s next big thing, the fourth-round match between Simona Halep and Genie Bouchard here this morning was a must-watch. Halep is a 22-year-old Romanian who has made a meteoric rise into the Top 10 over

By the middle of the third set, when Juan Martin del Potro led Roger Federer 3-0, it appeared that their round-robin match would go down as the logical end to Federer’s most disappointing season in a decade. The forehand shanks, the head-spinning inconsistency, the brief summoning of the old brilliance

Though they may be lower-ranked than the seeds and the rest of the field that was able to gain direct entry into the US Open, the players who fought through the qualifying rounds can be primed to make waves in the main draw. With multiple matches under their belt before

Two of the most distinguished wild cards any tournament could hope to recruit had at it last night in the second round at Stanford, with Venus Williams winning this clashing, clanging groundstroke battle of former no. 1s, 6-4, 7-6 (1). Williams may be 34 years old, but she appears to

PARIS (AP) After one real struggle and a second inconsistent performance at the French Open, Rafael Nadal felt a lot better and played a lot better in the third round. At last looking like the guy who's dominated Roland Garros since 2005, the top-seeded Nadal bullied Antonio Veic of Croatia

LONDON (AP) For Caroline Wozniacki, just winning a Grand Slam match these days would be nice. The former No. 1-ranked player came into Wimbledon unseeded at a major for the first time in eight years and with a world ranking of No. 45, her lowest since 2008. Faced with a
