In our Qatar TotalEnergies Open preview, we noted that Ons Jabeur is a player to watch in Doha this week. The only issue is that Jabeur has to face Qinwen Zheng in the Round of 32. An issue, but not an impediment to backing her. For the 30-year-old crushed McCartney

Andre Agassi says a lack of depth isn’t the reason why Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray are dominating men's tennis. Since Agassi retired after the 2006 U.S. Open, those four players have combined to win every Grand Slam singles title except for one, and have also

by Pete Bodo Vera Zvonareva and Francesca Schiavone, two highly-seeded favorites with something to prove at Wimbledon, were subjected to Day 1 frights but managed to win their matches by symmetrical 6-3 in-the-third scores.
