NEW YORK (AP) — Andy Roddick was the last American man to win a Grand Slam title, all the way back at the 2003 U.S. Open. The last American woman other than Serena Williams to collect a major trophy? That was Venus Williams, at Wimbledon in 2008. Roddick is retired;

PARIS—Maybe the signal was clear Monday morning. Serena Williams’ name was absent from the practice schedule. Meanwhile, at 11 a.m. on the dot, Maria Sharapova took a light jog on to Court 3 at Roland Garros. Her coach, Thomas Hogstedt, fed balls to a hitting partner. Every few minutes, Hogstedt

“There was nothing between them,” is tennis-speak for a close contest. It also works as a description of the entire match-up between Elina Svitolina and Simona Halep.

By this point in the clay season, the men’s favorite for the French Open has typically been decided, and it’s typically been Rafael Nadal. That’s not true this year. Nadal’s three semifinal defeats on dirt this spring have left Roland Garros looking more open—at least to a few other players,

For the most part, seeded players delivered at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships on Tuesday. But by the end of play, the No. 1 seed was eliminated. Here’s a quick rundown of how the day went down. A week after taking down 20th-ranked Stan Wawrinka, South African qualifier Lloyd

A day after Dominic Thiem surprised No. 2 Rafael Nadal, Daniil Medvedev made a statement of his own at the Nitto ATP Finals on Wednesday. The Russian produced a terrific performance—winning seven games in a row at one point—to upstage world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, 6-3, 6-3. With Alexander Zverev

The dissolution of the Naomi Osaka-Sascha Bajin partnership has caught observers of the game completely off-guard: After all, since Bajin joined the Osaka camp in late 2017, the 20-year-old won two Grand Slam titles and reached No. 1 in the WTA rankings. At this point, only those two and the
