MarcosBy TennisWorld Contributing Editor Andrew Burton Morning, all. As I was preparing to take notes on Tsonga-Llodra for a Racquet Reaction post, I checked the H2H between the two Frenchmen. Tsonga was 4-0 going in, but two of those wins (Dubai 2010 R32 and Queens' R16) ended with Llodra retiring.

This wasn’t exactly what they had in mind when they dreamed up the round-robin format for the WTA Championships. Minutes after Serena Williams finished playing Victoria Azarenka with very little at stake (Williams had already qualified for the knock-out semifinals), Sam Stosur had to go through the motions as a

Mornin', folks, this will be your match-calling and All Things US Open post for today. I pretty much said it all about today in my last post, Cred Capital, but as interested as I am in the Roger Federer - John Isner match, I'm almost as eager to see Donald

Nobody is surprised that Rafael Nadal is in the final of Roland Garros for the seventh time, but the one-sided nature of his semifinal victory might raise some eyebrows, as he made one of the world’s finest clay-court players look utterly ordinary, beating David Ferrer, 6-2, 6-2, 6-1, in one

Clinging to a one-set, 4-3 lead, Maria Kirilenko had just taken treatment for a sore shoulder when she confronted the pain-in-the-neck play of Bethanie Mattek-Sands. The fast-charging American in the funky knee-high socks closed so tight to net she could have kicked it as she set up for a routine

It’s rare when you can say that a match hinges on one point. Having struck a rich vein of form to take the first set from Rafael Nadal despite suffering from a hip flexor injury sustained in his previous match, Andy Murray was pressing hard on the Spaniard’s serve at

NEW YORK—Hours after New York City’s mass transit system was restored, Mardy Fish was in no mood to be derailed. Sprinting forward on a serve-and-volley, Fish found himself momentarily stalled as a stinging return from Tobias Kamke sped past him. Spinning quickly, Fish raced back to the baseline with the

Tennis fans should remember that Wimbledon 2009 match when Gisela Dulko closed out Maria Sharapova. I know I do.

NEW YORK—Coming into the U.S. Open, Rafael Nadal had a winning record over every member of the Top 20. But he had a 1-1 record against 38th-ranked Croatian Ivan Dodig, who eliminated him from the Canadian Masters in 2011. The Spaniard, seeded second here, hadn’t dropped serve in the first

Bernard Tomic has slammed Lleyton Hewitt's Davis Cup captaincy, saying the former No. 1 has driven away the best players and is involved in a conflict of interest with his management company. Following his opening-round defeat at the Australian Open, Tomic was asked about a potential return to playing Davis

GIJON, Spain -- John Isner and the U.S. Davis Cup team saw firsthand that Spain's dominance isn't limited to Rafael Nadal. Ferrer beat Isner 6-7 (3), 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 on Sunday to give the five-time champions an insurmountable 3-1 lead and a shot at a fourth title in five years.
