Andy Murray vs. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Highlights Men’s Round of 16

There are certainly a lot more familiar faces in the men’s last 16 at the 2014 US Open than over in the women’s side.

Will Serena Conquer Her 2014 Grand Slam Demons in New York?

It’s fair to say that Canadians have good reason to be excited about their country’s future in tennis, heading into their home event on the ATP and WTA tours, the Rogers Cup. On the ATP side, last week’s Citi Open in Washington proved that more than ever. In the first all-Canadian ATP final in history, 23-year-old Milos Raonic defeated countryman Vasek Pospisil, with the latter beating... 

2014 ATP Tour So Far and the Road Ahead
