Dominic Thiem just told Eurosport that Serena Williams has a “bad personality.” As insults go, it’s the stoic German-speaking equivalent of calling someone “Meanie Mcmeanface.” Not exactly a scathing commentary–or it wouldn’t be if anyone else had said it. […]
Two days after running into some unexpected press-room controversy, Dominic Thiem made sure it was his tennis doing the talking. Thiem took his level to greater heights and crushed an in-form Gael Monfils 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 during fourth-round action on Monday afternoon. […]
Rafael Nadal now faces a player (Kei Nishikori) who is coming off consecutive five-setters and will have no days of rest after finishing off Benoit Paire 6-2, 6-7(8), 6-2, 6-7(8), 7-5 on Monday. Nishikori also did extremely well to overcome a 4-0 fifth-set deficit against Laslo Djere. […]
Roger Federer took the easy way. Stan Wawrinka chose the scenic route. Whatever the case, the two Swiss veterans will be facing each other for the 26th time in their careers when they renew their friendly–and lopsided–rivalry in the French Open quarterfinals on Tuesday. […]

Dominic Thiem will try to extend his undefeated record against Gael Monfils when they meet again on Monday at Roland Garros. Juan Martin Del Potro and Karen Khachanov are also aiming for a place in the quarterfinals at the season’s second slam. […]
Dominic Thiem being involved in the first truly notable incident of the 2019 French Open is surprising–more surprising, even, than Serena Williams’ third-round loss to Sofia Kenin on Saturday. What’s even more shocking is that the Thiem incident and Serena’s loss were directly related. […]
