Carlos Alcaraz takes care of business in Wimbledon opener

In just his third Wimbledon tournament, Carlos Alcaraz is already one of the main men to defeat. The top-seeded Spanish player hasn’t been past the fourth round at the All England Club, but he has become the primary threat in Novak Djokovic’s quest for a record-equaling eighth men’s title at the grass-court Grand Slam. On Tuesday, Alcaraz defeated Jeremy Chardy 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 on Court 1 — a fitting location for the No. 1 player in the world. The match was played under the roof because rain affected play on the outside courts for the second consecutive day. “Obviously without the roof, with sun, […]

Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek get No. 1 seeds for Wimbledon

Carlos Alcaraz — not four-time defending champion Novak Djokovic — and Iga Swiatek were seeded No. 1 for Wimbledon on Wednesday, as expected, because the All England Club adhered to the ATP and WTA rankings. Alcaraz overtook Djokovic atop the men’s standings on Monday. Djokovic has not played since collecting his men’s record 23rd Grand Slam title at the French Open on June 11 and slid to No. 2, while Alcaraz rose one spot after winning a grass-court tuneup tournament at Queen’s Club on Sunday. Djokovic has collected the championship at Wimbledon each of the past four times it was held — and seven times overall — but he did […]

Carlos Alcaraz tops Arthur Rinderknech in Queen’s Club opener

Carlos Alcaraz came from a set down Tuesday to defeat lucky loser Arthur Rinderknech in the top-seeded player’s first match at the grass-court Queen’s Club Championships. Alcaraz won 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (3) versus the No. 83-ranked Rinderknech, a French player who only found out he was playing following the withdrawal of Arthur Fils a couple of hours before the match. Alcaraz faced difficulties in dealing with Rinderknech’s big serve and net coverage in what was the No. 2-ranked Spaniard’s seventh career match on grass, and first outside Wimbledon.

Jannik Sinner loses French Open five-setter to Daniel Altmaier

Jannik Sinner wasted two match points as he was knocked out of the French Open 6-7 (0), 7-6 (7), 1-6, 7-6 (4), 7-5 in a second-round thriller versus German Daniel Altmaier on Thursday. Sinner, a red-haired Italian who is often cheered on by six fans dressed as carrots — the Carota boys — and was spotted eating carrots as an on-court snack in Vienna, was not his dominant self as he bowed out after 5 hours, 26 minutes. The No. 8-seeded Sinner, whose best performance at Roland Garros came in 2020 when he lost in the quarterfinals to Rafael Nadal, looked set for a […]

Carlos Alcaraz No. 1 in rankings; Novak Djokovic falls to No. 3

Carlos Alcaraz replaced Novak Djokovic at No. 1 in the ATP rankings Monday, earning the top seeding at the French Open, and Daniil Medvedev’s Italian Open title moved him up to No. 2 ahead of the year’s second Grand Slam tournament. Djokovic’s loss in the fourth round as the defending champion in Rome dropped him to No. 3. That means he and Alcaraz could end up in the same half of the Roland Garros bracket and be set up for a potential semifinal showdown, depending on what happens in Thursday’s draw in Paris. The French Open, which starts Sunday, will mark the first chance […]

Rafael Nadal pulls out of French Open, expects ’24 to be last year

Rafael Nadal revealed Thursday that he is pulling out of the French Open because of a lingering hip injury that has sidelined him since January and that he expects 2024 to be the final season of his tennis career. The owner of a record 14 championships at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament will miss it for the first time. He made his debut there in 2005. Nadal, who turns 37 next month, delivered the news of his withdrawal — and future plans — during a news conference at his tennis academy in Manacor, Spain. He stated he does not want to […]

Andy Murray overcomes Tommy Paul for first title since 2019

Andy Murray bounced back to defeat world No. 17 Tommy Paul 2-6, 6-1, 6-2 on Sunday in the Aix-en-Provence Challenger Tour final, earning his first title at any level since 2019. The three-time major winner converted four of nine breakpoints to claim his first clay title since 2016, a boost for the 35-year-old who stated he hoped to play the French Open later this month despite suffering early exits from Madrid and Monaco. It was Murray’s third triumph over a top-20 player this year and the twice Olympic gold medalist is expected to climb from 52nd to 42nd in the rankings after Sunday’s […]

Raducanu ruled out of French Open, Wimbledon due to wrist, ankle surgery

Former U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu stated on Wednesday she will miss this year’s French Open and Wimbledon Championships after undergoing surgery on her wrists and ankle. The Brit said she will be out for “the next few months” as she recovers from recurring bone injures. “It is safe to say the last 10 months have been difficult as I dealt with a recurring injury to a bone of both hands,” Raducanu said on Twitter. “I’m having a minor procedure done on both hands to resolve the issues. I’m disappointed to share that I will be out for the next few months […]

Emma Raducanu withdraws from Madrid Open with hand injury

Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu withdrew from the Madrid Open shortly before she was due on court to play Viktoriya Tomova in the first round Wednesday. The 20-year-old British player cited an injury to her right hand as the motive for her withdrawal. It is the latest setback for Raducanu, who has struggled for form and fitness since her fairy-tale run to the title at Flushing Meadows in 2021 as an 18-year-old qualifier. She lost in the first round in Miami and Stuttgart, and by missing Madrid, she will likely fall outside the top 100 in the WTA rankings for the first time […]

Canada through to Billie Jean King Cup finals with 3-2 win over Belgium

Grinding through adversity made a big victory that much sweeter for some of Canada’s top women’s tennis players this weekend. After losing their highest-ranked player to injury and watching a teammate sidelined, the Canadians persevered to earn a 3-2 win over Belgium at a Billie Jean King Cup qualifier in Vancouver. It’s the first time in four meetings that Canada has bested Belgium in the women’s World Cup of tennis competition. “A lot of ups and downs, a total roller-coaster ride,” doubles specialist Gabriela Dabrowski said of the two-day competition. “We thought we were down and out. We weren’t. And […]
