KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) — The oldest player in the women's draw at the Miami Open, Venus Williams is looking forward to the next round. And next year. And the year after that. "Yeah, 2020 here I come," she said. Williams earned her latest win in this season of resurgence

There are big moments, key moments, clutch moments, and turnaround moments in tennis matches. In her 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 final-round loss to Maria Sharapova today in Madrid, Simona Halep showed us another one that’s just as common to the sport: the moment of hesitation.

Steve, Judging from yesterday it didn’t seem possible, but the sun is making a few patchy appearances today. And looking at the long and tremendous slate of action on tap, let’s hope it’s not a fluke. All the matches from yesterday will be completed, plus Roddick, Hewitt, Nadal are scheduled,

They were funny things, those tournaments, but they were open-hearted.” I’ve quoted these lines from Gordon Forbes’s amateur-era memoir, A Handful

The WTF is a winner so far. I like the stagy lighting and the shimmering blue court. I’ve been impressed by the officiating. I’ve enjoyed seeing the guys in their schoolboy ties. And I’ve liked watching them play their matches over the first three days; while none will go down
