After a historic first half of the season, and after years of coming so close, Novak Djokovic finally rose to No. 1 on the ATP rankings for the first time on July 4, 2011, exactly nine years ago today. He clinched No. 1 by beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the semifinals

INDIAN WELLS, CALIF.—Who says you can’t win at the net on the slow hard courts here? Radek Stepanek, who rolled through the first set of his match on Saturday 6-2, in just 38 minutes, might tell you otherwise. The Czech was nine of 12 at net, and dictated with controlled

You probably know the story by now: The 19-year-old Keys was first drawn to tennis at age 4, when she noticed the dress that Venus was wearing on TV. A decade and a half later, the two will face each other for the second time, and for the first time

PARIS—The fourth-round match between Novak Djokovic and Andreas Seppi in Court Philippe Chatrier didn’t start out like it was going to go four and a half (seemingly interminable) hours.

Novak Djokovic began his third-round match with Alexandr Dolgopolov today by wiping a tear from his eye as he set up for his first serve. It was a painful private moment that had to be lived in public: He had learned earlier this morning that his grandfather, Vladimir, a hero

Svetlana Kuznetsova and Francesca Schiavone are good friends, but occasionally they fight. They had a blowout in Fed Cup once, when neither was willing to shake the other’s hand. But after a few choice words in the locker room, they made up. Today in Hisense Arena they fought each other

MASON, Ohio (AP)—After a listless first set, Maria Sharapova got inspired by a pep talk from her coach and rolled to a 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Vera Zvonareva on Saturday, seizing a spot in the final of the Western & Southern Open. She’ll play 13th-seeded Jelena Jankovic of Serbia,

The odds will surely be shortening on Tomas Berdych making a deep run at Roland Garros, but nobody in their right mind would bet against Rafael Nadal there, or today in Rome, after a sublime 6-4, 7-5 victory over the Czech in which Rafa struck 34 winners for just 10

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP)—Venus Williams looked strong in powering past Jelena Jankovic 7-5, 6-0 at the Family Circle Cup on Wednesday. Williams won 12 of the last 14 games to take the matchup of two former world No. 1s trying to rediscover their old form. Williams had fallen to 87th in

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP)—Nadia Petrova took advantage of her last-minute addition to the field at the Pilot Pen tennis tournament, moving into the finals with a 2-6, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Maria Kirilenko on Friday. Kirilenko broke Petrova twice in the first set, but said she felt a pain in

DOHA—Kiki Bertens is one of very few seeds left in the Doha draw, and they're not out because they lost.

Tennis Channel Live: Roger Federer's recovery

For a little over a half hour on Sunday night, Roger Federer found himself being outplayed in his fourth-round match at the Australian Open.

NEW YORK—Roger Federer knows showmanship. Fans flock to his matches to witness his excellence and artistry, and most of the time he obliges. Today, the five-time U.S. Open champ was plenty good, but he mostly left the canvas at home. He had no use for it. After a patchy first-round

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Serena Williams' long winning streak came to an end in a stunning fourth-round defeat to Ana Ivanovic at the Australian Open on Sunday. Ivanovic hadn't won a set in her four previous matches against Williams, who had been a hot favorite to win a sixth Australian Open
