Rafa is the clear favorite to win in Paris
Reigning French Open champions Novak Djokovic and Garbine Muguruza return to defend their crowns at Roland Garros, but neither is a favorite to win the 2017 French Open. Those honors belong to nine-time French Open winner Rafael Nadal, the odds-on favorite at 4-to-5 on the men’s side, and Romania’s Simona Halep, a 3-to-1 favorite to win the women’s title. […]
Roger Federer Domination Continues in Miami!
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — Weary from three months of winning, Roger Federer hit one last shot Sunday, whacking a celebratory forehand into the stands to punctuate his 6-3, 6-4 victory over Rafael Nadal in the Miami Open final. Now comes a well-deserved two-month break. “I’m not 24 anymore,” Federer said. “I need a rest. My […]
Fed Takes a Pass on Roland Garros
Roger Federer announced Monday that he will not be playing in the 2017 French Open due to a lack of preparation. The 18-time Grand Slam winner is attempting to preserve his longevity, and believes missing the French Open — and the entire clay season is the best way to do it. Federer was unable to […]
Nadal Makes History in Monte Carlo
Rafael Nadal captured an incredible 10th Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters crown on Sunday in beating fellow Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-1, 6-3 in the 76-minute final. Nadal’s 29th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title, one shy of record-holder Novak Djokovic (30), marks the first time in the Open Era (since April 1968) that any man has won […]

Andy Murray’s Olympic Gold Medal Proves He’s Ready to Contend with Novak Djokovic Again
It’s been a great month for Andy Murray. Having not won a Grand Slam tennis tournament since his glorious Wimbledon crowning in 2013, Murray repeated the feat this past July, and has now claimed his second singles gold medal at the Olympics. Beating Juan Martin del Potro in 4 sets, Murray has shown the world […]
“Guga” Carries Olympic Torch
Tennis fans would recognize that smile anywhere! Brazilian Gustavo Kuerten emerged with the torch and ran into the stadium, a worthy replacement for soccer legend Pele who pulled out due to illness. We had already been treated to four Olympic flagbearers that evening including Great Britain’s Andy Murray, Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki, Spain’s Rafael Nadal, and […]
Rafael Nadal Finally Looks to Back to His Winning Ways, But can He Stay Healthy?
Back in the warm confines of his Spanish homeland, tennis superstar Rafael Nadal is experiencing the type of surging comeback that fans have been craving for years. After a dismal 2015 in which he failed to win a single Grand Slam (for the first time since 2004), Nadal shamefully fell in the first round of […]
Novak Djokovic is the Reason why Roger Federer Will Never Win Another Major
It’s become pretty clear this season who the top man in pro tennis is. Novak Djokovic has reigned supreme in 2015, capturing three of the four Grand Slam titles and repeatedly showcasing his dominance as the #1 player. But what has happened to Roger Federer? 34 years young, the Swiss master has solidified his position […]
Will the US Open Upsets Return in 2015 to Make their Mark?
