Day four at the WTA event in Rabat might not feature any so-called ‘top players’, but it is almost sure to feature a number tight and exciting matches between players who will look at this week, with a theoretically weakened draw, as a great possibility to achieve something they’d otherwise struggle to. As always, we […] READ MORE
The WTA event in Strasbourg this week has a relatively weak field, with lots of players outside the top 100 and even top 300, but it also features some big names who are not quite at their best, like former Grand Slam champions Angelique Kerber and Sloane Stephens, who’ll both start their campaigns on Monday […] READ MORE

Estoril–- After coming tantalizingly close in Santiago a few months ago, Sebastian Baez claimed his first career ATP title Sunday in Estoril. After some battles during the week against Marin Cilic, Richard Gasquet, and Albert Ramos-Vinolas, Baez had a relatively comfortable final today against a clearly fatigued Frances Tiafoe.

Estoril–- Felix Auger-Aliassime had an amazing start to the season. He reached the quarterfinals in Australia and came within inches of beating Daniil Medvedev to reach the semis. The Canadian then followed that up with a first career title in Rotterdam and looked headed for a real breakthrough season. His momentum was, however, halted in […] READ MORE
Estoril–- Richard Gasquet has been a mainstay on the ATP for about 20 years, spending a lot of time in the top 10 (including a World Tour Finals appearance) with several deep runs at Slams and Masters 1000s.

It’s true that the Spaniard is older and far from what he once was, but Borges’s rise is undeniable. Last year at this tournament he […] READ MORE
