Sinner exploded onto […]

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!

I want to do a small experiment and do a kind of “what’s in the news” post from time to time. I call it “What the Deuce”, because…Family Guy. In today’s What the Deuce, we talk about Wawrinka’s foot surgery, Kyrgios dismissal of two next-gen players, Pospisil’s meltdown and more. Wawrinka Foot Surgery Tennis can […]
Who Wins the Miami Open – The Draw is Out
Many top players have opted out of playing the Miami Masters this year. Leaving the field hard to predict. Who wins the Miami Open?

Is Del Potro retired? He’s not, but yesterday he announced that he is to undergo a 4th knee surgery to return to the tour. “Is Del Potro retired?” is one of the key searches on Google. You can understand why. Some time has passed since we saw the gentle giant from Argentina on a tennis […]
Zverev and Karatsev Winners
Alexander Zverev and Aslan Karatsev were winners on the ATP Tour last week. Zverev not a surprise, but Karatsev – yes!
