Congratulations on French Open title No. 11, Rafael Nadal…. Or something like that. That seems to be the general sentiment in the tennis world following Thursday’s draw ceremony in Paris. Of course, Nadal was already an overwhelming favorite even prior to those festivities. […]
By the standards of tournaments immediately preceding Grand Slams, Lyon and Geneva—just as they did last year—boast impressive player fields. You can always count on Dominic Thiem to turn up no matter the circumstances, and that is exactly what he is doing this week. […]
The third and final clay-court Masters event of the season—and fifth Masters event in the span of two months—will take center stage this week in Rome. Rafael Nadal is looking to restore order on the heels of a surprising Madrid loss by winning his eighth Rome title and first since 2013. […]
