The Hottest Storylines in Men’s Tennis for the Week of October 21

Hottest storylines. Men’s tennis. London. The three are synonymous. This time of year is all about the Race to London with the goal of the ATP World Tour Finals. It is the prize that can make the rest of the year pale in comparison. It can be the crowning achievement to a great season. It can redeem a series of poor performances. And it can rejuvenate a career. This week, in pursuit of these... 

Ranking the Most Impressive Winning Streaks in Tennis History

What does the word “impressive” mean when it comes to most impressive winning streaks? Longevity. Simply put, it’s one thing to put together a bunch of wins. It is a great accomplishment and one for the record books, for sure. Take for instance Guillermo Vilas’ 46 wins in a row in 1977, despite its controversial end or Martina Navratilova’s even more amazing 74 victories... 

The Hottest Storylines in Men’s Tennis for the Week of October 14

“Racing” is the key word to describe this week’s hottest storylines in men’s tennis. As in Race to London. Rafael Nadal has already qualified for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London, and so have Novak Djokovic and David Ferrer. This week Juan Martin del Potro has joined them. That leaves four more spots. More importantly, Andy Murray should—but won’t—hold... 

Ranking the Best Coaches in Tennis Today

The best coaches in tennis today do not share one thing in common. That would be far too simplistic an explanation. While it is difficult to rank coaches in a scientific, objective manner, it is equally clear that there must be some sort of rational assessment upon which to rate them. Simply stating that a player is only as good as his coach is nice, but it’s also trite and cliche. If that were... 

The Hottest Storylines in Men’s Tennis for the Week of October 7

The hottest storylines in men’s tennis this week are as disparate as the players they involve. Even as the Barclays World Tour Finals looms closely on the horizon, world No. 4 David Ferrer is the only player actively moving into his London spot. Juan Martin Del Potro did gain some traction in his bid to get there as well, but the highlight of his week was over in Japan, where he claimed a title... 

Ranking the Most Popular Rackets in Tennis Today

The phrases “most popular” and “tennis rackets today” do not go together—at least not across the board in the men’s game. Although there are a few types that are used more often, it is clear that there is no consensus among the sport’s best as to which racquet is the best. And just how important are these tools that the pros choose? Yannick Noah once summed... 

The Hottest Storylines in Men’s Tennis for the Week of September 30

The hottest storylines this week in men’s tennis are upset, upset, upset. Joao Sousa upended Julien Benneteau to snatch his first title. Sousa also beat David Ferrer. Milos Raonic crushed Tomas Berdych. Upset, upset, upset. Perhaps equally upsetting to fans of the top players is the continued absence of former world No. 1 Roger Federer. The Swiss superstar has taken off a significant amount of... 

Ranking the Most Ridiculous Tantrums in Tennis History

Tennis tantrums have taken many shapes and sizes throughout the sport’s history. Certain players even evoke the imagery of outbursts merely by the mention of their names. Consider, for example, John McEnroe and Ilie Nastase. Yelling and racket breaking have become blasé, though. They are now the standard tantrum. The ridiculous sort go well beyond the norm to include the surreal,... 

The Hottest Storylines in Men’s Tennis for the Week of September 23

It’s a milestone week in men’s tennis. World No. 1 Novak Djokovic gains entry into some lofty company when it comes to top players in history, though he won’t have much time to enjoy himself. Ernests Gulbis shows the world that it’s not just the high-and-mighty that can lay claim to incredible feats and records. The races to the ATP World Tour Finals heats up, and Andy Murray... 

2013 US Open Tennis: The Biggest Surprises from This Year’s Grand Slam

The 2013 U.S. Open provided a special sampling of surprises. Bagels were on the menu, late and tasty. Flavia Pennetta refused to go away. Mike and Bob Bryan refused to stay. James Blake said goodbye. Eighteen qualifiers said hello. Although the championships themselves would play out much to form and expectation, there was more than enough to enjoy well before the final day. Surprises, anyone?...
