Federer withdraws from Dubai
It was nice to have him back, right? But after his loss to Bashilashvili yesterday, it was announced that Federer withdraws from Dubai.

Tennis Ratings Explained
For my reviews, I use the NTRP rating to describe player level. But not everyone understands NTRP. Here are tennis ratings explained. There are different tennis rating systems all over the world.
