Once upon a time, the lack of a prohibitive favorite in a women’s Grand Slam draw would lead to charges of “chaos in the WTA.” This year, when there is again no clear-cut woman to beat, most of the talk has been about the wide variety of storylines in the

In my last post I stated that 2009 was a good year for tennis matches. Unfortunately, I realize now that I need to revise that assertion: It was a good year for men’s tennis matches. From a competitive standpoint, the women disappointed. Dinara Safina came up lame in both the

“Everything is working,” Karolina Pliskova’s coach, Conchita Martinez, said when she visited the Czech after the first set of the Rome women’s final on Sunday. If Martinez was exaggerating to make her player feel better, it was only by a tiny bit. Everything really was working for the coolly commanding

Like many of her peers on the ATP and WTA tours, Lesia Tsurenko loves indulging in Italy's most famous culinary offerings when she competes at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia.

After a phenomenal 2019 and a strong start to 2020, Ashleigh Barty built a hefty lead at No. 1 on the WTA rankings, and under the current revised ranking system—where players can only add points and not drop any due to the COVID-19 pandemic—it’s been difficult for anyone to catch

After two hours of relentlessly physical play, Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev had reached a third-set tiebreaker. Up to this point, neither of these two old friends and sometime rivals had been able to pull away from the other. They had split the first two sets. They had sat through

PARIS (AP) — Maybe all of those losses in Grand Slam finals helped Simona Halep actually win one. She'd gone 0-3 in matches with a major trophy on the line before facing Sloane Stephens for the French Open title Saturday, so there was plenty to remember: what it felt like

On Wednesday, Dominic Thiem became the first Austrian to reach the semifinals of the US Open. It took the No. 2 seed two hours and four minutes to subdue scrappy Australian Alex de Minaur, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4, in a match that was heavily in Thiem’s control -- until it almost

When I wrote my preview of the WTA Finals last weekend, I picked Simona Halep, Flavia Pennetta, Petra Kvitova, and Angelique Kerber to make the semifinals. I thought Halep would play well in her return to Singapore, where last year she reached the final and recorded her only win over

LONDON (AP)—His body already aching after a season of almost unceasing success, Novak Djokovic ran into a brick wall in David Ferrer. Ferrer’s relentless hitting proved too much for Djokovic on Wednesday, giving the fifth-seeded Spaniard a 6-3, 6-1 win and a spot in the semifinals of the ATP World

It's always interesting to see how a relatively low-ranked player will respond when he's in a position to upset a better one, especially if the latter happens to be a big name. There's a point where the forehands and backhands don't have much to do with it, but nerves and
