News: Caroline Garcia has announced her retirement from tennis following Roland Garros.

Fell outside the Top 100 in recent months so this doesn't really surprise me that much. Won a WTA Finals and 3 WTA 1000s in her career.

Keys Unlocks the Quarters

Madison Keys was serving at 71% in the 1st set... and still lost 55% of her 1st serve points.

But Donna Vekic couldn't keep up that level on her return, gradually succumbing to the barrage of big serves as Keys pulls out the win, 4-6, 7-6⁷, 6-3, to reach the quarterfinals

Just as Zverev is about to speak at the trophy ceremony, a woman repeatedly shouts:

“Australia Believes Olya and Brenda! Australia Believes Olya and Brenda!”

Broke through the silence.

The first grand slam champions of the year are...

Olivia Gadecki & John Peers!

The pair win an all-Aussie showdown with Kimberly Birrell & John-Patrick Smith to take the Mixed Doubles title.

The kid's got several points.

Aussie media has been pretty embarrassing this year. Every point he makes here checks out.

Interesting end to Ben Shelton’s press conference.

Unprompted, he took a moment to tear into the quality of local broadcasting and specifically on-court interviewing at #AusOpen.

Going for the 3-Peat!

The Queen of Oz is one win away from her third straight coronation after sweeping past first-time semifinalist Paula Badosa.

Aryna Sabalenka defeats her good friend Paula Badosa, 6-4, 6-2, for a spot in Saturday's championship showdown with either Iga Swiatek or Madison Keys.

Getting back to 5-5 after being down 1-5 or 2-5... and then losing the set 5-7 is one of the most demoralizing things that can happen in this god-forsaken game.

Madison Keys wins 5-7, 6-1, 7¹⁰-6⁸ against Iga Swiatek

Might be the best win of her entire career, as she is back in a Grand Slam Final for the first time since 2017.

A Stunner in Melbourne!

Madison Keys plays the match of her life in Melbourne, fighting back from the brink of defeat to topple 5-time slam champ Iga Swiatek, 5-7, 6-1, 7-6⁸

Through a nervy but electrifying final set, the American recovers from a late break deficit to reach her 2nd slam final

Coco Gauff had a good performance earlier to get the 6-3, 6-2 win over Leylah Fernandez. Team USA was cruising in the 2nd match but Auger-Aliassime has made that one interesting again.

🇺🇲 1-0 🇨🇦

Felix Auger-Aliassime wins it 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 against Taylor Fritz after Taylor served for the match in the 2nd set, an incredible turnaround to force doubles to decide this tie.

I keep seeing these 2025 WTA Top 20 predictions with the same 20 folks from 2024 remixed a lil' bit.

8 of the 2024 top 20 (Paolini, Navarro, Collins, Badosa, Shnaider, Kalinskaya, Andreeva, Kostyuk) weren't there in 2023.

Live a little, folks. Give me a Danilovic or a Stearns or an Avanesyan!

Wow, TNNS app.

Way to give me a micro-coronary.

Not them posting last year's draw as the 2025 Brisbane main draw... making me think for a brief, hopeful second that we'd just received the 3 biggest gifts since gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Please don't make fun of children for still believing in Santa. I know fully grown adults that still believe Alexander Zverev will win a Grand Slam.

Learner Tien didn’t initially love tennis, even though he was really good at it.

“I thought I’d put so much time into it already, it would be a waste just to stop. I eventually found that love for it and it’s taken me to where I am today,” he tells me.
