In what is becoming a tradition, at least since 2016, ATP stars once again headed to the panda breeding center in Chengdu. Fabio Fognini, Chung Hyeon and world No. 95 Bradley Klahn all took pictures with the huge pandas, and spoke about the exciting meeting. "I saw a lot of

In 2020, Canadian player Carol Zhao delighted fans with her music debut, "I Wish It Would Never Stop Raining." Now out is her subsequent release, "How To Forget You," a ballad that's available on Apple Music, Spotify and other streaming platforms—in addition to the official video:

Just want you all to know I'm back. I'm talking to Todd Martin in a little while, just 'cause I kind of miss him these days. I'll post an update on what he's been up to. So it occurs to me, anybody else you guys want me to call and

Here's Part II of my discussion with Kamakshi Tandon, editor of Tennis Journal, about where the U.S. Open has left us, and where we may go the rest of the season. You can read Part I here. I'll be back with a final entry on Monday.

If you’re not a citizen of the relevant countries, you probably aren't sure how to approach this Davis Cup final. I feel the same way. What began as a possible titanic dream clash in the Buenos Aires cauldron of dirt is now a makeshift muddle in a basketball gym in

Petra Kvitova is groggy. When she answers the phone at her home in Prostejov in the Czech Republic, she sounds as if she has been awakened from a deep slumber. “No, no,” she says with a slightly hazy chuckle. “I am just having a massage.” Then she laughs again, her

REGGIO CALABRIA, Italy(AP) A ruling on Serena Williams' U.S. Open tirade is expected in the next two weeks. `It's in the hands of the Grand Slam administrator, who I believe has now completed his investigation and will be making a ruling within the next two weeks,'' United States Tennis Association

Nick Bollettieri thinks this could this finally be Andy Murray's year at Wimbledon, but first he has a few reminders for the Scot. I would hate to jinx it for Andy Murray, but if he can play his game, Great Britain’s major-title drought could end this year. Greats like Rafael

From Tuesday night club leagues to the professional tours, losing large leads is a part of tennis. So is losing a large lead but getting bailed out by your opponent. Take, for example, my league match on Tuesday. In a 10-point match tiebreaker, I raced to a 6-0 lead, then

Kamakshi, “The smaller the ball, the better the writing.” That was George Plimpton’s theory of sports journalism, anyway. There’s a snobbish ring to

Look at this. I get in at 9:30 A.M. on Monday morning, ready to write a preview of the dual-gender, red-clay, triple-retractable-roof mega-Masters—is this a tournament or a burger at Wendy’s?—in Madrid and everything has happened already. Henin and Sharapova are out, and Serena has wasted no time in pulling

Have a good weekend? The Super Bowl was at least entertaining, in a muddy, what-the-heck’s-going-to-happen-next kind of way—and Urlacher lost, so all is well. As for me, I learned a competitive lesson these last couple days; it was on a squash court, but it pertains equally to tennis. On Saturday

By TW Contributing Writer, Asad Raza *[[Mornin', everyone. Well, it was one hail of a virtual Holiday party last night, thanks for dropping by. I'm on my way to Florida but I thought, "What better way to get you all juiced up than by publishing a Greatest Hits piece that

Typically Concrete Elbow begins one of these tournaments with a timeline post. That’s where we—OK, I—fan out over the grounds, see as many matches as possible, and come back to the press room at the end of the day, sunburned and with hair flying, to write it up in as

“He’s a big guy, I try to move him around.” NEW YORK—This was all Philipp Kohlschreiber could come up with when he was asked how he had just beaten John Isner for the third straight year at the U.S. Open. It must be hard for Kohlschreiber to know exactly why

NEW YORK—“I love watching Monfils, but he’s a knucklehead”: these words were stated, in disgusted admiration, by a reporter sitting in the row behind me in the U.S. Open press room today. 81: Number of winners hit by Gael Monfils in his five-set, 4 hour, 48 minute loss to Juan

Thought I might drop in while trying to finish up our new-look blog in time for the U.S. Open, as well as getting sorted out with my hardware and software for posting podcasts at the Mother Ship. I'm leery about this podcasting stuff. I’m a word guy, not a Dictaphone

1574285 by Pete Bodo Snow day, for the second time this month! Not only that, but both of these recent winter storms hit New York on Thursday, translating to a three-day weekend. I spent this morning cleaning off the truck (no need to screw around with snow shovels when you
