Has Eugenie Bouchard’s Star Faded for Good?

Two days before her first-round loss at the 2016 U.S. Open, Eugenie Bouchard posted a tweet that drew Serena Williams into a conversation about the Canadian’s commitment to tennis. That tweet reflects where Bouchard finds herself: on the outside looking in at the top-tier players. Bouchard excels at tweeting, uploading Instagram photos and in magazine photo shoots. However, she’s struggling at tennis, the sport that propelled her into the spotlight. Her stardom is fading. In fact, it may have faded for good. Tuesday, Bouchard lost to No. 72 Katerina Siniakova, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2. A Wimbledon... 

Andy Murray vs. Lukas Rosol: Score and Reaction from 2016 US Open

A year after Kevin Anderson bounced him in the fourth round of the U.S. Open, world No. 2 Andy Murray returned to New York and kicked off his stint at the year’s final Grand Slam with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 win over Lukas Rosol.  Murray is now 3-0 lifetime against Rosol—who was coming off a second-round loss against Steve Johnson at the Winston-Salem Open. He also improved to 12-0 in all first-round matches at the U.S. Open, per ATP Media Info on Twitter.  While the gulf in talent between Murray and Rosol is rather large, the three-time major champion had historically struggled... 

Serena Williams vs. Ekaterina Makarova: Score and Reaction from 2016 US Open

Serena Williams had a tough draw to start the 2016 U.S. Open but had little problem earning a 6-3, 6-3 win over Ekaterina Makarova.  The 22-time Grand Slam winner had been dealing with a shoulder injury coming into the tournament, an ailment that had slowed her down during the Rio Olympics. However, you wouldn’t know it from her impressive performance Tuesday night in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Williams was truly dominant with her serve in the win. Not only did she not face a single break point on the night, she went 28-of-31 on her first serve and tallied 12 aces to just one double-fault. When...

Williams takes the court Tuesday night against Russian Ekaterina Makarova (7 p.m. ET, ESPN), and after failing to win last year’s U.S. Open that would have given her the calendar year Grand Slam, she does have an opportunity to win her seventh national title at Forest Hills, New York.

Novak Djokovic’s Injuries Make Him a Long Shot to Win 2016 US Open

There was Novak Djokovic at a changeover just five games into Round 1 at the 2016 U.S. Open. The trainer vigorously massaged his upper right arm. Was this good news? It wasn’t his left wrist, at least, the one that had the world No. 1 concerned heading into the year’s final major. He went right back to work, got his first break and closed out the first set 6-3. Easy, right? Except Djokovic is not playing like King Novak, the near-invincible champion who held the Grand Slam following his French Open title nearly three months ago. His first serve was weaker, his backhand tentative, and...
