The clay-court swing ratchets up to a whole new level when the Monte-Carlo Masters takes over the tennis world this week. After most of the top players sat out Houston and Marrakech, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Dominic Thiem are among those back in action. […]
We still have to wait just a little bit for Masters 1000 events in Monte-Carlo, Madrid, and Rome to take center stage, but the clay-court swing is here. It begins in Marrakech and Houston, with Alexander Zverev, Fabio Fognini, Kyle Edmund, and Steve Johnson among those in the draw. […]
A whole host of top players missed last year’s BNP Paribas Open, and Novak Djokovic might as well have been absent. This time around, the majority of the best in the business are on hand in the desert—minus defending champion Juan Martin Del Potro. […]
February wraps up with one of the busiest weeks on the tennis calendar: three tournaments, two of which are 500s. And those 500-point fields in Acapulco and Dubai are not disappointing, with Rafael Nadal, Alexander Zverev, Roger Federer, and Kei Nishikori among those in action. […]
We’ve reached the halfway point in February, with six tournaments down and six more to go. It’s only getting better, starting with a another 500-point event in Rio de Janeiro, Juan Martin Del Potro’s return in Delray Beach, and an impressive Marseille field. […]

Novak Djokovic was by far the best player in the world throughout the second half of last season and he is already a six-time champion Down Under. […]
John Isner headlines an Auckland field that also includes Fabio Fognini, Denis Shapovalov, and Gael Monfils. In Sydney, meanwhile, defending champion Daniil Medvedev is joined this week by Stefanos Tsitsipas and 2018 runner-up Alex de Minaur. […]
Roger Federer has been incredibly resurgent in recent years; Novak Djokovic made a comeback for the ages in 2018. Who will it be in this upcoming season? We may begin to find out sooner rather than later, as Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka, Tomas Berdych, and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga are all in action in week one.
