Spanish sixth seed Feliciano Lopez rallied past dis-heartened American Sam Querrey 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 to hand the Californian his fifth consecutive defeat of the season. One-time US No. 1 Querrey, his ranking sinking like a stone and now down to 57th, has not been able to produce much game after the heartbreak of an engagement gone wrong in 2013 and its subsequent effects on his tennis.
Steve Johnson, a four time NCAA titlist during his time at USC, scored the best win of his pro career in the second round of the Delray Beach Open by ousting top seed Tommy Haas 6-4, 2-6, 7-6.
Nine years after his last ATP appearance in the country as a raw teenaged talent, Rafael Nadal is back on court in Brazil and eager to make a fresh start in 2014 in the land of football and samba.
This was not exactly a thrilling final (other than the odd moment when Marin Cilic managed to get a point replayed because the ball had been damaged). Tomas Berdych was never broken -- indeed, never faced a break point after his first service game -- and he converted three of four break points against Cilic. He won almost 60% of the points.
Greg Norman turned up at the Delray Beach Open to support his former caddy and Lleyton Hewitt did not disappoint the Great White Shark, getting his jaws into Bradley Klahn to win 6-3, 6-1.

After all the upsets we'd had to this point, this seems almost unnatural. A seed winning? What is the world coming to? What Tomas Berdych is coming to, or at least coming close to, is the #6 ranking. Win the title and it's his; indeed, he will be just bare points behind Juan Martin del Potro in the contest for #5. Ernests Gulbis will be #23 or #24.
Former World Number One Andy Roddick made a blistering start to his ATP Champions Tour career with a 6-3, 6-3 defeat of his 'childhood hero' Mats Wilander. Roddick was born three months after his opponent won his debut Grand Slam title at the French Open in 1982, and he was able to take full advantage of the 18 year age gap at the Delray Beach International Tennis Centre on Friday night...
As you have doubtless noticed by now, Daily Tennis occasionally devotes a feature to science as it relates to tennis -- usually physics (because that's what makes tennis possible) or biology (because that's what makes tennis players possible). To improve our coverage, the author periodically goes through some of the science magazines and web sites looking for relevant material.
Andy Murray's handlers remained silent amid reports that families living near his historical Scottish hotel set to open within weeks are in the process of being evicted from their rental properties near the grounds of the sprawling country house.
Because Rotterdam is the largest and strongest of this week's events, we are planning our schedule around it. We will send each day's edition when we are satisfied with the Rotterdam material. This means that we will be covering the late matches from Buenos Aires and (especially) Memphis in the next day's edition.
Top seed and winner of the last two editions David Ferrer looked unstoppable on South American clay as the Spaniard began his Argentine title defence by beating Maximo Gonzalez 7-6(7), 6-4 and running his Buenos Aires win streak to 11 matches.
Third seed Tommy Robredo led a trio of Spaniard to opening win, with the veteran starting with a defeat of compatriot Pablo Carreno 6-4, 6-4. Pablo Andujar followed suit over Argentine 2013 quarter-finalist Federico Delbonis 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 while fifth seed Marcel Granollers won his first clay match of the season, beating Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia 7-5, 3-6, 6-2.
Two of the top doubles teams on the ATP World Tour have committed to play the 2014 Fayez Sarofim & Co. US Men's Clay Court Championship at River Oaks Country Club.
After years of lobbying the grass season will finally come into its own in 2015, with a six-week ATP season to be played on the lawns. The men will get a true run-up to Wimbledon, with three weeks now separating the end of the French Open and the start of Wimbledon.
