Will Jimmy Connors Help Maria Sharapova Beat Serena Williams?

Two egos, one goal.  After shockingly splitting ways with Thomas Hogstedt—her coach of three years—last week, Maria Sharapova has announced that she has a new addition to her team: Jimmy Connors.  During her time with Hogstedt, Sharapova successfully climbed to the top of rankings again, won the French Open to get her Career Slam and established herself as one of the most consistent... 

Martina Hingis Comes out of Retirement: Why the WTA Needs Her

Guess who’s back? Just days after being enshrined in the International Tennis Hall of Fame, five-time Grand Slam singles champion Martina Hingis has announced that she is coming back to the WTA Tour for the first time since 2007.

Is Roger Federer Going Back to Drawing Board on Clay in Hamburg and Gstaad?

Roger Federer certainly is full of surprises. In the middle of a season that is sub-par by his own lofty standards, meaning that he is only 27-8 on the year with one title, Federer is showing that he still has the guts to try new things. The proof? This year Federer will be playing tournaments between Wimbledon and the U.S. Open Series Masters events for the first time in nine years. That’s... 

Tennis Hall of Fame Induction 2013: What’s Martina Hingis’ Legacy?

On Saturday, Martina Hingis will receive the highest honor that a retired tennis player can receive as she gets inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Earlier this week, her estranged husband caused a bit of a media firestorm when he blasted her in the press as a “serial adulterer.” Somehow, it seems fitting that we’re celebrating the highs of Hingis’ career while... 

Agnieszka Radwanska in ESPN Body Issue 2013: Is She Becoming Tennis’ Bad Girl?

Is all publicity really good publicity? Agnieszka Radwanska sure hopes so.  Radwanska, the No. 4 player in the WTA, left Wimbledon bitter after a three-set loss to Sabine Lisicki in the semifinals. But she was all smiles earlier this week when her nude photos in the Body Issue of ESPN the Magazine surfaced.  Radwanska joined John Isner as the tennis stars represented in the... 

Is Andy Murray the New David Beckham of British Sports?

On the day after the end of the 77-year title drought for British men at Wimbledon, Henman Hill has cleared out, but the excitement has certainly not died down.

In fact, he might be entering the David Beckham stratosphere. The Guardian certainly... 

Who is Men’s Tennis’ Real No. 1: Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray?

Novak Djokovic is still the top-ranked player in the world, but after Andy Murray‘s resounding victory over him in the Wimbledon final (6-4, 7-5, 6-4), I couldn’t help but wonder if perhaps Murray was the best player in tennis right now. After all, we suddenly live in a world where Murray has won three of the five biggest prizes in the last year—the Olympics, U.S. Open and Wimbledon.... 

Off-Beat Marion Bartoli the Perfect Champion for Wacky 2013 Wimbledon

Marion Bartoli is the 2013 Wimbledon champion. It’s a statement that sounds so wrong, but after this tumultuous tournament, it feels just right.  Bartoli doesn’t look like everyone else, she doesn’t practice like everyone else and she doesn’t play like everyone else. But at the end of the fortnight, she is the last one standing. The 28-year-old from France is officially... 

Murray in 2013 Wimbledon Final: Will Britain Have Its Hero or More Heartbreak?

Andy Murray is three sets away from being crowned the “Prince of Wimbledon.” In Friday evening’s semifinal on Centre Court, Murray took out the last remaining Cinderella of the men’s tournament, 22-year-old Pole Jerzy Janowicz, 6-7(2), 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. He was cheered on raucously by his legions of fans, including Pippa Middleton, Jude Law and Anna Wintour. If Murray wins just... 

Resilient Djokovic Survives del Potro in Instant Classic in 2013 Wimbledon Semis

Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin del Potro’s Wimbledon semifinal was supposed to be the warm-up act, but the two Grand Slam champions ended up stealing the show. Their epic match, which saw world No. 1 Djokovic prevail 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-7 (6-8), 6-3, was the longest semifinal in the storied history of Wimbledon. It lasted a jaw-dropping four hours and 43 minutes. He moves on to face Andy Murray,...
