WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Tuesday, first up on the stadium court at the Citi Open was an opening-round showdown between world No. 2 Simona Halep and world No. 957 Sloane Stephens. Yes, you read that right, No. 957. The 2015 Washington champion has been out of commission since the Olympics

MASON, Ohio (AP) — Andy Murray smiled as he walked off the court after a brisk practice session, pain-free and moving better all the time. Retirement? Out of mind for now. Instead, the three-time major champion is back to playing singles at a Masters event. Murray is the first-day focus

For a multitude of reasons, this year's French Open women's tournament is one of the most wide open in years. Throughout this week, the editors of TENNIS.com will each write about three possible contenders—un, deux, trois—for the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen.

“I think we’d go out together,” Mike Bryan told TENNIS Magazine in 2016, when asked about his brother and fellow doubles savant, Bob. “We’ve got a special bond.” On Wednesday, the most successful doubles team in tennis history, and two of the most decorated American players ever, made a joint

If Rafael Nadal has become inexorably linked to the French Open, Roger Federer shares the same relationship with Wimbledon. The Swiss has won the tournament six times, with many of his greatest achievements in tennis occurring on Centre Court. As this year's Championships approaches, we're counting down his most memorable

Perhaps, as the son of a lawyer, John McEnroe possessed a superpower that let him know the precise limits of the law. For whenever McEnroe threw a tantrum, he was always keenly aware of the line separating compliance from violation—the score, the officials, the rules, even the significance of the

PARIS—Every day around 11 a.m., representatives of the official and rather sinister-sounding French “Security Control” agency take an elevator high up to the top of the southwest tower of Court Suzanne Lenglen at Roland Garros to perform a pre-flight safety check. This is mandated by law and dutifully carried out,

Millennials around the world, stand up! Grigor Dimitrov is with you: Now at age 33, the Bulgarian says he a cozy night in instead of a wild night out. OK, we might be paraphrasing: But closer to the end of his tennis career than the beginning, the former Top 10

Peering down at the blue court for traces of a ball mark, Donald Young resembled a fisherman scanning a lake for signs of life beneath the surface. When Young wasn't lunging for Milos Raonic's serve or searching for its trail, he heard it splashing off the back wall. Pulling the
