NEW YORK (AP) For the second year in a row, Serena Williams' bid to make history ended with a shocking loss in the U.S. Open semifinals. A seventh title at Flushing Meadows, which would have been an Open-era record, will have to wait. So will a 23rd Grand Slam championship,

NEW YORK (AP) — When Maria Sharapova's first Grand Slam match after a 15-month doping suspension ended with a victory at the U.S. Open, she dropped to her knees and covered her face, tears welling in her eyes. This was merely a win to get to the second round, yes,

TOKYO (AP)—Roland Garros finalist Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova grasped for an air tube during a medical timeout and grew frustrated at the lack of ice in a court-side container. German player Mona Barthel struggled with 10 double faults in a loss to Iga Swiatek as a blinding sun made it nearly impossible

Chris Eubanks was on this podcast last November, having just completed a year of tennis that left him very optimisic. The American had just notched his first victory in a Grand Slam tournament and was ready to pick up where he left off when the new year arrived. Eubanks was

At the start of this year’s French Open, I wrote that the men would be returning to their recent past, while the women would spend the next two weeks searching for their future. That’s pretty much how it turned out. Thirty-one-year-old Rafael Nadal reminded everyone why he’s the king of

Is there any good subway writing? How about, if you’re French, metro writing? I don’t mean graffiti, that scourge of 1970s New York whose disturbingly beautiful scribbling can still be spotted on the odd metro car in Paris. We thought of it as a sign of impending chaos back then,

It's 1973 week at TENNIS.com. Each day I’m recounting an important event from that revolutionary year in tennis, and in American life. Yesterday it was the ATP’s Wimbledon boycott, in which Arthur Ashe was a key participant. Today it’s Ashe’s trip later that year to play in apartheid South Africa.

LONDON—We seem to have turned a corner in the weather here in the SW19—wait, sorry, I swear that’s going to be my last fatuous mention of the local postal code to prove that I know something about Wimbledon. Whatever you want to call this place, it’s sunny here at the

MELBOURNE—Unlike last year, the 2013 Australian Open didn’t have an ending for the ages. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The upside of last night’s anti-climactic four-set final between Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray is that it spared us another round of chatter and pomp about how lucky we are

Do we watch sports for the quality of play that’s on display? The obsession in the U.S. with college and even high school athletics makes it clear that the answer is no. When it comes to team games, we watch to see the people who represent our school or city

A biting wind conjured a wall of red brick dust during Maria Sharapova’s semifinal match, prompting a few fans to reflexively cover their eyes. Unwavering, the second seed squinted through the salmon-colored swirl, her eyes firmly fixed on the ball like someone seeing a long-awaited destination finally come into focus.

* by Pete Bodo* It appeared to be the same old story. The same old sad story. The same tale we've seen played out on courts all around the globe in this frequently, predictably cruel sport. Samantha Stosur crept to the edge of victory against Serena Williams and peered over

The purple Crandon Park courts aren't quite as forgiving as the red carpet rolled out for the player party on Biscayne Boulevard, but when world No. 1 Serena Williams faces second-ranked Maria Sharapova in a final pulsating with star power, all the elements for a photo finish seem to be
