Opinion pieces by Cheryl Murray.
I’ve watched Daniil Medvedev do some truly unhinged things on a tennis court. He tossed coins at an umpire’s chair, flipped off an entire stadium, and bludgeoned a net camera. I was present in Cincinnati a few months ago when he assaulted the back wall of the Grandstand. […]
A guy with a microphone and a ring light stopped me on the grounds of the U.S. Open this week and asked if I knew anything about tennis and whether he could interview me. I figured he was going to throw out some tricky tennis trivia or ask me about a player ranked outside the top 50. […]
Jannik Sinner pulled out of the U.S. Open last Friday with a bad right knee. That alone would be plenty of big news for the U.S. Open. It isn’t close to all of it. Carlos Alcaraz’s return is another headliner. […]
Cincinnati began on August 13, the same day Montreal ended. Sinner withdrew on August 9 with a troublesome right knee, and Alcaraz with the wrist that has kept him sidelined since April. […]
Rafael Jodar is currently sitting 11th in the race to the Nitto ATP Finals, 121 points behind No. 8 Ben Shelton for the last spot. If you just asked “so what?” then allow me to enlighten you. Jodar turned pro on December 30, 2025. […]
The Grandstand had an outstanding time in Gstaad last week. I was on the ground among Rolexes, Ferraris, Birkins, and Chanel. Where classic Porsches, comfort fondue, and dudes in flying squirrel suits collide. […]
I just came from the Swiss Open second-round match between Lorenzo Sonego and Raphael Collignon. If you are a new fan or take a casual/passing interest in tennis, you probably don’t know those players. […]
Cheryl is in the Swiss Alps ready for a week of beautiful views and great tennis. Check back for the latest on-the-ground reporting and insider tidbits. […]
Let’s talk about “Rafa,” the inspiring, emotional Netflix documentary. I followed Nadal’s entire career over what I am now convinced will be considered the golden age of tennis. I remember his first win over Roger Federer in Miami in 2004. […]
I’ve had the World Cup on in the background for the better part of three weeks now, and the screen is crawling with greatness. Lionel Messi, 39 years old and still bending matches to his will for reigning champion Argentina. […]
