Federer scheduled to play Madrid Masters
Did you think Federer would skip the clay? I was quite frankly surprised to see Federer scheduled to play Madrid Masters. I had kind of taken it for granted that Federer would sit out most (if not all) of the clay court season to prepare his body for the grass, meaning Wimbledon and the Olympics, […]
Yonex VCORE Plus Racquets
The updated Yonex VCORE Plus racquets are here. For fans of extended length racquets, these should be highly interesting. Babolat and Yonex both do something that I think makes a lot of sense – they make extended versions of their most popular racquets: Aero and Drive and VCORE and Ezone. Great for players that like […]

We knew that Miami Open could see some surprising results with so many top players withdrawing from the tournament. Still, I couldn’t have predicted a Hurkacz vs Sinner final. Sinner exploded onto […]
Thiem Withdraws from Monte Carlo Masters
It’s perhaps not surprising to hear that Dominic Thiem withdraws from Monte Carlo Masters. After all, he hasn’t played since Dubai. The immediate response to hearing the news that Thiem withdraws from Monte Carlo Masters was that the foot injury he sustained at the Australian Open is still bothering him. But according to his agent, […]
Is Jannik Sinner an alien?
Is Jannik Sinner an alien? Alexander Bublik seemed to think so after his loss to him at the Miami Open. Bublik generously told Sinner after the match: “You’re not human! You’re 15 years old and you play like this.” Props to Bublik for a respectful way of dealing with a loss. It’s not like the match […]
