Gauff Cruises as Pegula Survives a Trickier Wimbledon Start
Coco Gauff’s gentle Wimbledon draw began exactly as it looked on paper. The No. 7 seed beat Tamara Korpatsch 6-2, 6-1, giving herself the kind of opening-round start every top player wants: quick, clean and low-stress.

Rybakina and Anisimova Land in the Wildest Wimbledon Quarter of the Draw
This quarter is bananas. There is no polite way around it. Amanda Anisimova is the No. 6 seed. Elena Rybakina is the No. 2 seed.

Emma Raducanu Withdraws From Nottingham After Queen’s Run Leaves Her Short on Recovery Time
Emma Raducanu had earned the right to rest. That may sound strange after a final defeat, but Queen’s Club asked plenty of her. Too much, probably. The rain turned the schedule into a squeeze, the matches piled up late in the week, and by the time Donna Vekic stood across the net in the final,…

Marta Kostyuk Brings an Untouched Clay Season Into a Semi-Final That Will Not Pretend to Be Just Tennis

Hailey Baptiste’s Father Rushes From Stands as Horror Roland Garros Injury Ends Breakout Clay Season
Hailey Baptiste had spent the clay season forcing people to learn to spell her name properly. Madrid had done most of the work. Beating Jasmine Paolini was one thing.

Anisimova’s Madrid Withdrawal Deepens 2026 Slump
Amanda Anisimova’s season has not stalled—it has slipped out of rhythm. Madrid was supposed to be the moment she re-entered the conversation on clay.
