She then had 11 double-faults in the second set to give her 18 in total for the match. Travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic mean there’s a crammed schedule of tournaments before the Australian Open.

Wimbledon has returned after being canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic and some things have not changed at the All England Club.

Andy Murray’s Wimbledon comeback is already generating plenty of drama.

Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer have been placed on opposite sides of the Wimbledon bracket.

Lucky losers Max Purcell and Kwon Soon-woo have won quarterfinals at the grass-court Eastbourne tournament to mark the first time in ATP Tour history that more than one man who lost in qualifying reached the semifinals of the same event.

Even a 23-time Grand Slam champion needs to remind herself now and then how to play winning tennis.

Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer all are in the same half of the French Open men’s field.

Rafael Nadal showed he’s still got the stamina to withstand much younger challengers in a 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (3) comeback win over 22-year-old Denis Shapovalov that secured him a spot in the Italian Open quarterfinals.

There are no American men in the ATP's Top 30 for the first time in the nearly half-century of ATP computerized tennis rankings.

Aryna Sabalenka is glad she changed her mind about playing at the Madrid Open.
