After impressive results at the first two ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events of the season and a maiden title run in Houston, Jack Sock has reached a career-high Emirates ATP Ranking of No. 33.
This week the pros are in Houston, Charleston, Casablanca, Katowice, Raanana, LeGosier, SanLuis Potosi, Napoli, Leon, Batman(?), St.Brieuc ( yes, BATMAN in Turkey ).
It's safe to say Jack Sock has found the right doubles partner. Look no further than his record against Bob and Mike Bryan to prove that point.
It took a pair of top 10 players to send Donald Young Jr. and Steve Johnson packing from the BNP Paribas Open. Two of the four American men to reach the third round in Indian Wells, Young and Johnson suffered respective losses to Rafael Nadal and Tomas Berdych on Tuesday.
American women playing well is nothing new, although they have not been quite as successful at the BNP Paribas Open as in other spots because of the absences of Serena and Venus Williams.
Emotional scenes ruled the day on the two biggest courts at the BNP Paribas Open on Friday. There were tears--real tears, and a lot of them--on both Stadium 1 and Stadium.
Nowhere on the entire ATP World Tour is the doubles draw annually more intriguing than at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. In addition to the traditional doubles specialists, singles players--even the very top guys--often sign up for doubles in the desert.
Attempting to rank the year-end top 10 players from any country is a virtually impossible task--unless you do it in, say, something like September, October, or November. It's even more difficult in the case of the United States.
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.
The race for World Tour Finals spots has never been more competitive and it reached new heights on Wednesday at the BNP Paribas Masters. Wednesday's second-round action began with Milos Raonic facing a must-win situation against Jack Sock if he wanted to stay alive in the race to London. And that's exactly what the Canadian did.
Two London contenders survived tense third-set battles to keep alive their chances of appearing at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. Milos Raonic was the first to pull off a gritty win, beating qualifier Jack Sock 6-3, 5-7, 7-6(4). It was the Canadian’s sixth straight win – and fifth in 2014 – over Sock.
Top seed Tomas Berdych opened his campaign for a second title at the If Stockholm Open with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Germany's Dustin Brown on Thursday. The 29-year-old Czech saved all three break points he faced during the 83-minute match, and claimed 78 per cent of service points.
Rafael Nadal and a whole host of other seeds are out, but the third-round schedule at the Shanghai Rolex Masters is still an intriguing one. A showdown between Andy Murray and David Ferrer is among the eight matches on Thursday, while Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer are also aiming for spots in the quarterfinals.
In 2013, American men fared historically bad at Grand Slams. Not a single one reached the fourth round of any major--not even at the U.S. Open. The jury is still out for the American contingent in Flushing Meadows this time around, but early returns are decent at best.
