It was a surprising day of action for the American contingent at the Rogers Cup on Monday. John Isner, Tim Smyczek, and Michael Russell took the court, with only Isner (vs. Ivan Dodig) being a considerable favorite. As it turned out, however, only Isner took a loss.
Kim Clijsters, Mike Bryan, Bob Bryan and Torrey Gambill share some sentiments on Michael Johns passing
Tennis Canada announced Monday the launch of a new campaign to promote the active, healthy living of children through the sport of tennis. World No. 6 and Canada’s highest-ranked singles player in history Milos Raonic appears in both the TV spot and print creative, which focuses on how tennis can build confidence in kids.
Roger Federer is ready for a charge into the second half of the ATP season, with the losing Wimbledon finalist set to impress as he begins play at the Toronto Masters.
It was Canada's time to shine in the United States on Sunday, when Milos Raonic battled Vasek Pospisil in the Washington, D.C. final. Now will it be Australia's time to shine in Canada on Monday? Lleyton Hewitt, Bernard Tomic, Marinko Matosevic, and Thanasi Kokkinakis make up a quartet of Australians in action at the Rogers Cup.
Williams wins the 61st title of her career, 16 more than any other active player and the seventh most in history.
We are into the final few weeks leading up to the U.S. Open and almost nobody has more momentum than Milos Raonic and David Goffin. Raonic followed up his Wimbledon semifinal showing with a title on Sunday in Washington, D.C. Goffin is on a streak of 20 consecutive match wins and he captured his first career ATP title on Saturday in Kitzbuhel.
The Canada Masters, better known as the Rogers Cup, begins next week. But Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil figured they might as well not wait for their time to shine. The two Canadians are though to what will be the first-ever final between two men from Canada in the history of the ATP World Tour.
Rafael Nadal is out—at least for the next two tournaments—but a strong field will still be on hand for the Rogers Cup in Toronto. Among those back in action for the first time since Wimbledon are Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Stan Wawrinka, and Andy Murray.
After an exciting start to the United States Tennis Association Girls’ 16s & 18s National Championships, rain suspended play Saturday afternoon at the Barnes Tennis Center and led to the postponement of more than a dozen Girls’ 16s first round main draw matches.
One way or another, we were guaranteed a first-time winner here. Not only were both players in their first finals, neither had ever made a semifinal before. David Goffin had three ATP quarterfinals (Chennai 2012, Winston-Salem 2012, Valencia 2012); Dominic Thiem had two (Kitzbuhel and Vienna 2013).
Twenty matches since Wimbledon. Twenty wins for David Goffin. The first 15 of those 20 earned him three consecutive Challenger titles, but the most recent five this week were the ones that mattered most.
Check out these awesome EPA photos of tennis player Donald Young.
Since Wilson Sporting Goods Co. and 17-time Grand Slam Champion Roger Federer announced the technical specifications of the Wilson Pro Staff line in early July, the tennis community has eagerly awaited the final look of the rackets.
Maybe we should have taken the idea of Donald Young as the American #2 more seriously. Kevin Anderson will remain below the Top Twenty, but Young moves past Sam Querrey, Jack Sock, and Steve Johnson; he is on the brink of the Top Fifty.
