NEW YORK (AP)—This one didn’t come down to a foot fault, a referee’s call or anything else that could’ve made Serena Williams mad. In fact, if Williams was upset about anything Saturday night, it might have been that she didn’t get much of a match. In what was supposed to

Between the Japan Open, the Grand Slam of Asia/Pacific (a.k.a. the Australian Open), and the IMG-owned Sony Open in Miami, Kei Nishikori has a trio of tournaments to call “home.” And the Bradenton-trained, Bollettieri-coached product’s play at each event as reflected that relationship. Two years ago, Nishikori won the title

Now this is officially a fortnight Iga Swiatek will remember for-evermore.
