Elena Vesnina got a good laugh of being hit twice by her partner Ekaterina Makarova during their Roland Garros title run. . . .

In the last month, Rafael Nadal has beaten Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and David Ferrer all for the 20th time. . .

Toni Nadal, the uncle and coach of Rafael, broke down in tears in front of the media after his nephew s five-set victory over Novak Djokovic and fled to the locker room to recover. His agent, Carlos Costa, also cried. . .

The 10th China Open  confirmed that Rafael Nadal will play in  Beijing for the first time in  four years.  Held at the National Tennis Center September 22-October 6, the combined WTA-ATP tournament is the final premier mandatory stop on the WTA calendar, and an ATP 500. . .

As expected, Milos Raonic has hired former Top 3 player Ivan Ljubicic as his coach. Ljubicic officially began working with Raonic at the start of Roland Garros. “Being coached by Ivan will really offer a new dimension to my game, said Raonic. They will work out of the Monte Carlo Country Club.

French Open semi-finalist Jo Wilfried Tsonga traveled to London from Paris by train yesterday and within an hour and a half of arriving at St Pancras Station, he was practicing on grass at London’s Queen’s Club for this week’s Aegon Championships.
