World No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 8 Milos Raonic have been preparing for the 2015 ATP World Tour season at the annual ATP Training Camp in Monte-Carlo. Held every December since the 1990s, the ATP Training Camp gives players the chance to practise in the mild Monaco weather on the newly resurfaced hard courts of the Monte-Carlo Country Club...
Hot on the heels of a memorable week at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters which saw Stanislas Wawrinka take home the title, TennisTV is in Barcelona this week for the Open Banc Sabadell.
Mike Bryan is the first player to win 100 tour-level doubles titles after he and twin brother Bob triumphed at the Monte Carlo on Sunday. The Americans captured their 98th team title as they defeated Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo, 6-3, 3-6, 10-8. in 72 minutes.
Prior to the start of the 2014 campaign, Stanislas Wawrinka did not have a Grand Slam title or even a Masters 1000 winner's trophy to his credit. Four months later, he has both.
The Bryan's win another Masters tourney. For Mike it was his 100th. title. For Bob his 98th! They beat Melo and Dodig 6-3,3-6,10-8 ! Wow. Unreal feat. This record breaking duo are Amazeballs. For real what a nice Easter present from the Tennis Channel. They actually televised the doubles.
There will be a first-time champion at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters in 2014, and for the first time since 2004 the man lifting the winner's trophy will be someone other than Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic.
David Ferrer beat Rafael Nadal for the sixth time in 27 tries and ended a 17-match losing streak on clay to the world No. 1 with a 7-6(1), 6-4 upset in the quarterfinals of the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters on Friday afternoon.
Nadal gets his 300 th. win today! Three more match victories this week would give Rafael Nadal his ninth career title at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters. For now, two are enough to help him arrive at a career milestone.
Like Novak Djokovic one day earlier, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer shut the door on second-round opponents at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters on Wednesday.
Novak Djokovic kicked off his title defense at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters with the loss of just one game on Tuesday afternoon. Djokovic thrashed Albert Montanes 6-1, 6-0 in a mere 45 minutes while saving all four of the break points he faced--all in the first set.
Death, taxes, and Spanish tennis players dominating on clay. Those may be the three certainties of life, and so far 2014 has done nothing to suggest otherwise.
Monte Carlo might as well be a "masters"... What a great draw. Fantastic that Roger Federer took the wild card. We wish more draws had more wildcard spots. It would give the tournament so much more star power.
Although Marin Cilic had his recent drug ban shortened to four months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport when the Croatian convinced them he took the banned supplement nikethamide by mistake, the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) has now made it clear new global anti-doping rules to be agreed this week will leave no room for such excuses.
There is no more patriotic sporting Serbian than Novak Djokovic but the he has made his home in the tax-free principality of Monaco
Apparently it can happen. Someone other than Rafael Nadal can win Monte Carlo. It was a very near thing.
