As a highly intriguing and already unprecedented tennis year gets underway, our editorial team gathered—virtually, of course—to discuss and compile thoughts on a variety of topics. Here, we bring you the first edition of “The TENNIS.com Round Robin.” David Kane: The circadian rhythm of the tennis schedule is something on

While the older cats have been away this month, the young ones have continued to play—quite well, for the most part. They’ve also continued to establish, and in some cases re-establish, themselves on tour. That’s how it went again this weekend, when an 18-year-old Canadian reached his first ATP final;

The only way to do Rome and this tournament at the same time is to get up early. Today began at the ungodly hour of 7:00 A.M. (who knew there was such a thing?) and went something like — Warning: The entry below begins with much non-tennis-related content and other

Another week, another Rally. This time Kamakshi and I talk about the controversial-to-laughable new computer GOAT survey, whether GOATs really do exist, and who we might want playing to save our lives. Here's my first post; she'll have her return tomorrow. Kamakshi, Weren’t we just talking about bonus points the

INDIAN WELLS, CALIF.—“This is like coming to another planet for us,” the Belgian reporter behind me said, speaking for all of his fellow European journalists who make the trip to the California desert. Sitting in Stadium 2 on Saturday, on another sun-blasted day, with a sky so wide that you

If you’re not a citizen of the relevant countries, you probably aren't sure how to approach this Davis Cup final. I feel the same way. What began as a possible titanic dream clash in the Buenos Aires cauldron of dirt is now a makeshift muddle in a basketball gym in

After all of the decades of frustration, all of the tears and the despair and the self-laceration, how do the British papers celebrate one of their own finally winning big in tennis? They note it, and then move along to a more interesting story. Here’s Monday's headline from the Independent:

There was order on the tennis court on Sunday, as all three tournaments in Asia ended with their top seeds holding the winners’ trophies. Here are a few thoughts on each of our champs, and the finals they played.

WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND—How do you know a men’s final on Centre Court here will be remembered forever? It must first involve a furious, back-to-the-wall, match-point-saving comeback in the fourth set, one that everyone watching assumes has ripped the heart out of the player who let the championship slip through his fingers.

Readers of Tennis magazine might remember a terrific column Joe Samuel "Sam" Starnes wrote a few years back, when he went to find the grave of that disgraced tennis icon, Big Bill Tilden. Sam, who's 43, agreed to contribute the piece below, on his battle with Anna Mamalat, a 15-year

As if competing for oneself wasn’t hard enough, try taking on the hopes and dreams of an entire nation—and in this case, the one that invented tennis. Welcome to the life and times of Sir Andy Murray (he was knighted in 2019), who retired from professional tennis today at 37,

In this week's edition of The Rally, Joel Drucker and Steve Tignor talk about a more down-to-earth Roland Garros; the hard-won pleasures of the five-set epic; and how Paris brings out the swagger in the game’s young stars. Hi Steve, From famine to feast. Just over a month ago, pro

What are tourists looking for? I ask myself that at least once a week when I go to lunch at work. TENNIS Magazine HQ is a block from 5th Ave., near the Empire State Building. While the working space of Peter Bodo may be a draw to an enlightened few,

How about that for a feel-good ending to the season? With a few hours of focused, forceful tennis, the game’s prince of gloom, Marat Safin, dispersed a very large and ominous cloud that had been hovering over his head for the better part of two years. That’s what insane talent

Howdy. The long slog is almost done, and TW should be back up and running purr-fectly within the next day or two, on a PC platform (not Politically Correct, but IBM-PC based) after a couple of hectic weeks of computer blues and other distractions—the chief of which was having had
