The Mutua Madrid Open, after a downer of a week, closed on a couple of up notes on Sunday. Roger Federer and Serena Williams, the active Grand Slam leaders on each tour, came to Ion Tiriac’s rescue with two memorable final-round wins. Williams’s quick victory over Victoria Azarenka was a

We take a break from our regularly scheduled programming at Monte Carlo to revisit the Fan Club. In this edition, Tennis.com editor Ed McGrogan and I discuss his early favorite, Richard Gasquet, a man who made his breakthrough at this event once upon a time, and who we assumed would

Howdy. I'm feeling a little sideways today. The unrelenting interruptions, combined with the backlog of matches and a host of other chores (you can check out my entry, on Novak Djokovic, at my ESPN blog tomorrow), has got me feeling like today was like a box of different size nuts

Howdy, Tribe. I was up in game-rich Andes with Luke this weekend; kind of a father-and-son trip (Lisa had some stuff to do in the city), so we spent a lot of time together. Luke got up at 4 a.m. Sunday, crying. He didn't want to be alone in his

UNIONDALE, N.Y.—Sitting in the lobby of the Long Island Marriott—situated just a short walk away from the famed Nassau Coliseum, where the New York Open is underway—Ivo Karlovic is not noticed by most people passing by.

The 2024 tennis season was filled with noteworthy stories, breakthrough moments, and countless trophy lifts. But what were the best matches of the year that was? We rolled the tape, and this week, TENNIS.com counted down some of the best ATP matches of the past year (after counting down our

It was the spring of 2017, and Sloane Stephens was sidelined with a foot injury. In her downtime, the future US Open champion tried her hand, and her sense of humor, as a talk-show host for Tennis Channel. Stephens was a natural, of course, and not afraid to dig into

The off-season is the time to experiment, right? So here's something new, a piece of fiction that's at least nominally tennis-oriented. (Though the author does admit some overlap between his life and this story.) When I was 11, in 1981, I traveled to Carlisle, Pa., to play my first junior
