*87219574 by Pete Bodo Mornin'. All eyes are shifting toward Paris as we approach the final high-value tournament of the year, the BNP Paribas Masters, known more colloquially as Paris Bercy.

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla.—To beat Novak Djokovic these days, it takes something close to a miracle—or a severe eye infection. Tomas Berdych got neither of those on Wednesday night, as Djokovic took him out, 6-3, 6-3, to reach the Miami Open semifinals. Djokovic now leads their head-to-head record 23-2, but that’s

The promise of college tennis lured Abhimanyu Vannemreddy from his home in India to the United States, where he settled in at Winthrop in South Carolina.

At the 2017 US Open, 128 men vied for main-draw berths by entering the qualifying tournament. Of those 128 hopefuls, 26 had college ties. Fourteen current or former NCAA players ultimately competed in the men’s or women’s main draw, six via qualifying. The late-summer Slam was akin to a grand

Tennis needs a good old-fashioned house cleaning because, when it comes to implementing solid rules, enforcing the ones that do exist, and keeping current with technology, the game is messier than the area around Frances Tiafoe’s chair late in a match on a hot day. Most of these proposed fixes

Mirra Andreeva has gobbled up the last two 1000-level titles, and the 17-year-old is now the talk of the tennis world. Many are wondering whether she can win a third, at the Miami Open. Aryna Sabalenka, who lost to Andreeva in the BNP Paribas Open final, will surely be looking

When it came to hard-court tennis in 2024, Jannik Sinner was the new sheriff in town. No matter how good you were, and no matter how well you might be playing at a certain tournament, you inevitably ran into a brick wall when you came up against the Italian. Sinner

WIMBLEDON, England(AP) On and on and on, and on some more, they played - longer than anyone ever had before. And still there was no winner. John Isner of Tampa, Fla., and Nicolas Mahut of France were tied at 59-59 in the fifth set at Wimbledon after exactly 10 hours

The 2018 French Open ended with a Demolition Party: Tournament officials gave the media souvenir hard hats and let us graffiti the walls of the press rooms. They’ll be coming down, along with much of the rest of Roland Garros, over the next 12 months. Judging by the plans, something

“Gorgo” was what Ken Rosewall and Rod Laver called their fellow pro Pancho Gonzalez. It was short for “gorgonzola”—i.e., the Big Cheese. The young Aussies, who dominated the barnstorming pro tours for much of the 1960s, resented the fact that the moody and mercurial American always got the lion’s share

Garbine Muguruza and her coach, Sam Sumyk, have a testy exchange at the WTA Elite Trophy in Zhuhai:

This week, in the first installment of our website's monthly book club, TENNIS.com's editor, Kamakshi Tandon, and I will be talking about Gordon Forbes' 1996 memoir "Too Soon to Panic."
