Williams, whose last singles victory came at the 2021 French Open, had to battle hard to overcome Párrizas Díaz in close to two hours, despite what the straight-sets scoreline might suggest. The 23-time grand slam champion dropped her serve just once in the match, but saved seven break points — including four when she trailed […]
In an article in Vogue, the 23-time grand slam winner said that, although she will try to win at the US Open, it is time for her to move “in a different direction.” “There comes a time in life when we have to decide to move in a different direction,” Williams posted on Instagram with […]
While trailing Estonia’s Kaia Kanepi 7-6 (4) 3-0, the four-time grand slam champion received treatment on the court but eventually retired and left the court in tears. “I felt my back from the start of the match, and despite trying my best to push through it, I just wasn’t able to today,” Osaka said afterwards, […]
The 23-time grand slam champion was defeated 6-2 6-4 by Belinda Bencic in the second round of the Canadian Open in Toronto — her first match since penning an article in Vogue explaining that “the countdown has begun” and that she will “evolve away from tennis.” “As I said in the article, I’m terrible at […]
The pair defeated Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Ellen Perez 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 10-5 in Sunday’s final, which was decided by a match tie-break.

Djokovic was in an early deficit as Kyrgios got off to a fast start. But the experienced 35-year-old fought his way back to win his seventh Wimbledon title — he won in 2018, 2019 and 2021 after 2020 was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. He is now one grand slam title behind the all-time […]
However, the inclusion doesn’t mean that either will definitely play. Williams returned to grand slam action this month at Wimbledon after a year-long break — but was knocked out in the first round after a three-hour, 11-minute tussle with France’s Harmony Tan. But Williams, who turned 40 last September, is refusing to give up on […]
It was a far more subdued performance from Kyrgios on Centre Court compared to his fiery match against Stefanos Tsitsipas on Saturday, and the Australian admitted he was far from his best as he triumphed 4-6 6-4 7-6 (7-2) 3-6 6-2. Only when he put away a forehand volley on his first match point in […]
But clad in a suit and tie, rather than traditional Wimbledon whites, the 40-year-old was attending the tournament’s Centre Court Centenary Celebration on Sunday. Predictably, he received a raucous welcome from fans. “This court has given me my biggest wins and my biggest losses. I hope I can come back one more time,” Federer, absent […]
“I am pledging to donate 100 euros for every ace I hit at Wimbledon to help support the people of Ukraine. Hope my serve works well! #acesforaid,” the seventh seed announced on Twitter and Instagram. Hurkacz, 25, has frequently expressed his support for the Ukrainian people. “My heart is with Ukraine,” he wrote on Instagram […]
