Short, quick, spur-of-the-moment posts. Most often in-game commentary.
Dominic Thiem scored a much-needed win on Wednesday night in Rotterdam, where he got the best of good friend Alexander Zverev 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 during first-round action. But the battle within the battle involved racket-smashing, and Zverev was arguably more impressive in that department. […]
Last weekend’s first-round Davis Cup tie between Great Britain and Canada could not have ended in more bizarre fashion. In the decisive fifth rubber, Canada’s Denis Shapovalov was defaulted in the third set for smacking a ball in frustration that torpedoed right into the chair umpire’s eye. […]
The sports world–beyond just tennis–had plenty to say about the recent Australian Open titles won by Serena Williams and Roger Federer. Players, former players, reporters, and more chimed in on Twitter to offer congratulations. […]
Nick Kyrgios may have made another enemy on Monday. But he may have made more than a few friends, as well. Following his 4-3 2-4 4-3 4-3 4-3 Fast4 format win over Rafael Nadal in Sydney, Kyrgios wore a shirt depicting United States President-elect Donald Trump in devil horns with the statement “F— Donald Trump” written below.

Nick Kyrgios lost to Borna Coric 7-6(2) 4-6, 7-6(6) in the second round of the Western & Southern Open on Wednesday night. He also lost three rackets. After dropping the first set in a tiebreaker, Kyrgios destroyed a trio of sticks at his chair. […]
Benoit Paire and Gilles Muller hit successful between-the-legs shots on the same point during Paire’s 6-2, 3-6, 7-6(4) victory in round three of the Citi Open on Thursday night. Muller won that battle, but he lost–and shouldn’t have–the overall war. […]
Novak Djokovic came close to crashing out of the French Open on Thursday–but not because of anything quarterfinal opponent Tomas Berdych did. After failing to convert a break point at 1-0 in the third set, Djokovic flung his racket behind him in the direction of a linesman. […]
For the second time this year, Dominic Thiem gave a point to an opponent despite the chair umpire calling for it to be replayed. The latest act of sportsmanship came during the third set of Thiem’s Rome opener against Alexandr Dolgopolov on Monday. […]
Nick Kyrgios lost to Kei Nishikori in the semifinals of the Mutua Madrid Open on Friday afternoon, but not before coming up with the shot of the tournament. Serving at 5-6, 30-0 in the opening set, Kyrgios produced a between-the-legs lob winner. […]
During first-round action at the Mutua Madrid Open earlier this week, Bernard Tomic tanked the last point of his match against Fabio Fognini by “attempting” to return serve with the handle of his racket. Not surprisingly, it resulted in a clinching ace for Fognini. […]
