INTERVIEW: The defending Indian Wells champion, Paula Badosa, after her quarterfinal win

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (AP)—Robby Ginepri became the first American to win his way into the second round of the BNP Paribas Open by beating Paoli Lorenzi of Italy 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Thursday. The oft-injured Ginepri was joined later by Sam Querrey, a 7-6 (1), 6-4 winner over fellow American

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP)—Second-seeded Mardy Fish defeated Ricardo Mello 6-2, 6-1 in a matchup of former champions in the second round of the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships on Thursday. Fish broke Mello’s serve in the first and fifth games of the first set and only allowed the Brazilian to

The Promenade Plantée in Paris lies on a former railway line that once linked Place de la Bastille to Varenne-Saint-Maur. The 3-miles long walkway is a winding blend of wild plant life and modern landscapes. It begins behind the Bastille opera house and runs above Avenue Daumesnil to the Jardin

Yevgeny Kafelnikov looked for his second major as he faced first-time Slam finalist Thomas Enqvist in the Australian Open championship match. Oftentimes, the label “dangerous floater” is affixed to a player who’s had some past success but is entering a tournament unseeded due to a poor stretch of form or

Paul-Henri Mathieu has been a relatively steady fixture on the ATP World Tour for the last 15 years. Since 2002, the 35-year-old Frenchman has finished inside the Top 100 on 12 occasions, reaching as high as No. 12 in 2008 and advancing to the fourth round of Wimbledon, Roland Garros

And just like that, the whimsy-laden word "dramatical" enters the lexicon. Reminiscing about her first-ever Grand Slam doubles title alongside sister Serena, Venus Williams went in depth in an Instagram post about the 1999 Roland Garros women's doubles final, the pair's first of 14 Grand Slam doubles crowns.

This time last year, Roger Federer fans (and likely the player himself) blinked in disbelief as the six-time Wimbledon champion fell behind two sets to love to unheralded Alejandro Falla in his first-round match. Falla, famously, failed to serve out the match in the fourth set before falling in five.

I find myself slightly regretting asking to write about Svetlana Kuznetsova today, not only because her straight-sets defeat of Magdalena Rybarikova was less of a contest than might have been hoped, but because it’s almost impossible to judge what we might reasonably expect from the rest of her tournament. When

Novak Djokovic, who beat Rafael Nadal, 6-2, 6-2 in the final of Beijing, thinks that the Spaniard will eventually return to the top. Nadal, a 14-time Grand Slam champion, has not won a major since last year's French Open. This year, he has won three tournaments, but hasn't been able

Asian players do not have to go to other countries to find the same success as him, says Kei Nishikori, but they do have additional challenges in reaching the upper levels of the tour. Nishikori, who attended the IMG Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in the United States, said he drew

NEW YORK(AP) Dinara Safina is the first to admit that what she really needs is some time off. She got it, though hardly at a good time - eliminated in the third round of the U.S. Open after an ugly week's stay at Flushing Meadows. It included: -Three poorly played,

WIMBLEDON, England—It’s Middle Sunday, and yes, both of those words are capitalized. Its a holy moment of rest for tennis writers, and anyone else who works at the All England Club every day of the fortnight. Wimbledon bowed to the forces of secularism—as well as NBC—when it allowed the men’s

NEW YORK—The final Grand Slam of 2014 did a role reversal over its two weeks. On the women’s side, the tournament began with upsets and drama; on the men’s, with an inexorable march of the seeds. By the finish, though, the tours had switched places. The men ended up with

WOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA—“In January, you know you’re going to be in Melbourne. In the spring you know you’re going to be in Paris. In the fall you know you’re going to be in New York. It would feel strange if I wasn’t there.” Those were the sentiments, if not the exact

MELBOURNE, Australia(AP) Serena Williams watched Svetlana Kuznetsova stroll to the service line, getting ready to serve for the match. Failure to break would prevent Williams, a three-time Australian Open singles champion, from having any chance of picking up her coveted 10th Grand Slam title. So was Williams trying to figure

PARIS (AP) — Yannick Noah was back on the French Open stage Saturday for a celebration of his 1983 title there, once again earning roars from thousands in the stands at the tournament's main stadium — except this time, he had a microphone in his hand instead of a racket.

Iga Swiatek vs. Linda Noskova These two players are bouncing victories back and forth between them, with Noskova’s win sandwiched between Swiatek’s two. This year alone has proven to make quite the rivalry as Noskova knocked Swiatek out of the Australian Open just for Swiatek to return the favor earlier
