Every tennis season delivers plenty of bizarre moments and 2014 was no exception. On both the men's and women's tours, things happened that had to be seen in order to be believed. For now, however, we'll do our best to describe those wild and wacky happenings in writing.

In 2014, we welcomed three first-time participants to the World Tour Finals--Kei Nishikori, Marin Cilic, and Milos Raonic. Will we see something similar in 2015, perhaps from Grigor Dimitrov? Or will Rafael Nadal and Juan Martin Del Potro manage to stay healthy and restore order to the London lineup?
If 2013 was the year that put Eugenie Bouchard in the spotlight, 2014 was the one that showed the tennis star is no flash in the pan. The Westmount, Que., native had a phenomenal year on the WTA tour, rising from 32nd in the rankings to No. 5 at one point before ending it at an impressive No. 7.

It was surely a merry Christmas in the Federer household as the Swiss ace's record-breaking off-court earning power continued to rise in 2014.
