The French have always been paragons of sophistication and they’ve never shied away from letting you know it. They have the finest wine, the most cerebral writers, luxurious scarves, and the Mona Lisa, not to mention the stinkiest cheese, and—d’accord!—those Repetto ballet flats. But that only makes their obsession with

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Plenty was going badly for Coco Gauff in the second round of the Australian Open. The double-faults kept coming Wednesday, nine in all. The deficits, too: First, she dropped the opening set against 74th-ranked Sorana Cirstea. Then, after forcing a third, Gauff fell behind by a

In July 1978, Bjorn Borg won the men’s singles title at Wimbledon for the third straight season. No one had matched that feat in more than 40 years. Granted, one reason for this drought was that, for most of the 20th century, tennis careers were quite short. Prior to the

Dual-gender tournaments really are better, aren’t they? Yes, the women can get the short end of the court-assignment stick, but there’s an energy at events like Beijing that never gathers when the two tours go it alone. Put the boys and girls together and it’s like our favorite Vicarious High

ROME (AP) — For four or five days after being defaulted from the U.S. Open, Novak Djokovic did some serious soul searching. Then he got back on the tennis court — and since then it's been fairly straightforward, at least in terms of results. Dropping only one set all week,

If you talk about Caroline Garcia for more than a few minutes, the conversation will eventually come around to the moment when you, and the rest of the tennis world, first heard her name. At the 2011 French Open, as a 17-year-old wild card, Garcia took a seemingly insurmountable lead

Just like Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open, the Australian Open has its own unique set of challenges—the heat, a short lead-up season, the time change—but there are certain players over the years who’ve been able to adjust to all of it and bring out their best tennis at

PARIS (AP) — The French Tennis Federation put off holding a ceremony to celebrate Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros this year, because he has said this might not necessarily be his final appearance at the tournament he has won a record 14 times. Tournament director Amélie Mauresmo said Sunday, Day

This year marks the 50th anniversary of TENNIS Magazine's founding in 1965. To commemorate the occasion, we'll look back each Thursday at one of the 50 moments that have defined the last half-century in our sport. In 1975, the New York Times ran an article entitled “If Bruce Springsteen Didn’t

Mardy Fish isn’t easy to recognize these days. When I walked onto the Grandstand this afternoon, Fish and his opponent, Jan Hajek, were facing each other at the net, waiting for the coin toss. I knew, in theory, that Fish was the taller of the two, but I was still

Novak Djokovic made this statement on Saturday in Madrid, after his semifinal win over Kei Nishikori. What were “these things” that he had gone through, exactly? Djokovic was referring to the fact that, while serving for the match at 5-4 in the second, he had blown a 40-0 lead before

Rarely are tennis matches, or sporting events of any kind, so closely tied up with world political events as they were over the course of the 1989 French Open. The tournament occurred just as Beijing’s Tiananmen Square protests were winding to their horrifying conclusion. One of the billions watching all

Rafael Nadal’s second week at Wimbledon was so routine that the most surprising moment may have come immediately after his semifinal. When Nadal saw that Andy Murray’s last sad forehand volley had landed long, he dropped to his back in abject joy. This is a reaction that Nadal typically reserves
