Predicting the Male Semi-Finalists of the 2015 Indian Wells Masters

Aside from Ivan Ljubicic’s surprise win over Andy Roddick in 2010, you might not be particularly surprised to hear that one of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal has lifted the Indian Wells trophy in each year since Federer’s victory over Tim Henman in 2004. With each of the three powerhouses remaining in the tournament going into Wednesday’s last 16 encounters, it is difficult... 

Dream Matchups Between Current and Past Tennis Stars

Arguing a player’s legacy against another’s is one of the greatest discussion points in any sport. As such, I have selected five dream matches between current and past tennis stars that fans would surely loved to have seen.

Ranking the Best Serves in Tennis Today

Given that it starts and occasionally ends a point, the serve is the most important shot in tennis. Without at least a solid serve, a player will struggle to forge a career at the elite level, as a competent returner will routinely punish him or her.  Some of the players on this list have relied almost single-handedly on their strong serve in their long and fruitful careers. Many purists turn... 

The Most Important Dates on the Tennis Calendar Before the 2015 French Open

No sooner does it feel like the new tennis season has only just got going again after a brilliant Australian Open, there is now almost a four-month gap until the next Slam at Roland Garros. It is a frustrating time period for tennis fans each year, especially when the French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open are all completed within the next four-month period.

The Best Moments from the 1st Week at the 2015 Australian Open

It was a brilliant first week in Melbourne at the Australian Open, with enough shocks to keep everyone on their toes, ample hotly contested encounters to keep everyone entertained and—importantly for the latter stages—most of the big names making it through to keep everyone intrigued.

Top Feel-Good Storylines from Tennis in 2014

2014 has been a topsy-turvy year for tennis. In the men’s game, the old order seems to have been dethroned to an extent—though you would hardly bet against Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray controlling the Slams once more next year—while in the women’s there were rising stars and career comebacks galore. In terms of feel-good storylines, there are... 

Odds for Top Stars in Women’s Tennis to Win a Grand Slam in 2015

Women’s tennis is often cited as being unusually open, particularly in comparison to the men’s game. Yet, from 2012-14, six women have claimed the 12 Grand Slams up for grabs—the same amount of male Slam winners across the same period. Two of those (Marion Bartoli and Li Na) have since retired, while Victoria Azarenka—back-to-back winner of the Australian Open in 2012 and 2013—missed... 

Tennis Players Who Will Struggle Most to Defend Their Current Ranking in 2015

With the 2014 season now over, it’s that time of year when tennis players embark on an all-too-brief period of rest and reflection. For those who have enjoyed strong years, the latter will aid the former. But, with tennis rankings based on an annual period (rather than a two-year period as in certain other sports, and as many tennis players have advocated), some may also have nagging doubts about... 

Men’s Tennis Stars with the Most to Prove in 2015

With the 2014 ATP World Tour almost over, all players will be looking forward to a well-deserved period of rest before 2015 soon comes around. However, some will be more at rest than others, at least mentally. Every player has something to prove at the elite level of sport, but we pick out five players at the top-end who perhaps have more than others, whether it’s due to a recent lack of form,... 

2014 ATP World Tour Finals: The Biggest Challenge for Each Contender

At the time of writing, all players have now played their first match at this year’s 2014 ATP World Tour Finals. Group A has witnessed two thrashings thus far, with Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka beating Marin Cilic and Tomas Berdych, respectively, 6-1, 6-1 on Monday.
