"Like Muhammad Ali, his greatness is defined by his struggle to transcend the toxic politics, discrimination and hatred of his era." My analysis of why @DjokerNole #Djokovic is the greatest champion in history (in any sport). grandslammagazine.com/2023/06/11/djo…
Why do we keep letting Canada’s ultrarich use tax havens to stash wealth? theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…
Winning 250 ranking points over a player ranked 76 in the world is now "masterful". His other titles include 250s in Stockholm and Belgrade and a 500 in Dallas -- beating low-ranked players.
MASTERFUL 🙌 The moment @denis_shapo finished off his fourth career title without dropping a single set at #LosCabosTennisOpen!
A reminder that the controversy around unfair treatment of alleged doping of tennis players arose in the same era that Djokovic, at the peak of his career, was de facto banned for 16 months from events in USA, Australia for refusing to put experimental medicines into his body.

BBC now reporting what fans, players and indy media have been saying: tennis has a doping problem. Article cites criticism by Halep, Kyrgios, Henman, Serena Williams, Tara Moore, Djokovic and Wawrinka.

This airliner can hold 850 people. The crew turned back to Toronto some 2 hours into their flight to Abu Dhabi. It can't be easy for the crew to deal with that many passengers on a 12-hour flight.

I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park. It’s just such heartbreaking news that I can’t really find the words, there won’t ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother. My thoughts go…
The comments below this apology by King Carlitos show a lack of respect for Tennis Canada and the National Bank Open in Toronto. Alcaraz, Sinner, Djokovic, Draper all not playing so far.
After many consecutive weeks of competition without rest, I will not be able to play in Toronto this year. I have small muscles issues and I need to recover physically and mentally for what comes next. To the tournament and to my fans in Canada I am very sorry, I will see you…
Remember the hype a few years ago about Canada's rise as a "superpower" in tennis? Canadian male tennis players have won 19 titles at smaller tournaments since 2011, but no majors or Masters 1000 titles in singles. My analysis and photos grandslammagazine.com/2025/07/21/can…
Lawfare, injustice and extreme unfairness has become normal in Canadian courts.
Late yesterday afternoon I received a copy of the Crown’s materials for our upcoming sentencing hearing and can confirm they are seeking a seven year prison sentence for me and an additional year for Chris.
Eighteen years of professional tennis. Looking forward to playing in front of you one last time in Toronto 😌
Sinner, Alcaraz, Djokovic all withdraw from Toronto. Same last year. It's too hot and humid for tennis events in Washington, Canada, and Cincy in mid-summer. Atlanta already went under. My vision on how to re-schedule the tennis tour to suit the weather. grandslammagazine.com/2025/07/20/too…

They demand the public trust them, and they don't allow the public to reply.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has today upheld an ITIA appeal in the case of British tennis player Tara Moore, issuing a four-year period of ineligibility. ITIA statement ⬇️
I'm not shy about my adoration for Carlitos. But the Sinner running forehand belongs among the great shots of all-time, such as the Novak return, Roger slice, Rafa inside-out forehand, McEnroe volley etc... Sinner routinely hits lasers from the wing position where most guys lose.
I'm not sure it's fair to blame this on Sally Bolton @Wimbledon when others slams and tournaments are doing the same thing. Right or wrong, it has developed like common law over the years. I wouldn't expect Ms. Bolton and the AELTC to suddenly diverge from the rest of the tour.
This is Sally Bolton, CEO of @Wimbledon. She breaches equality law by paying women the same as men - FOR LESS WORK. Men must play best of 5 sets, women best of 3. This is sexist. Where are the feminists? @the_LTA @sharrond62 @janniksin @carlosalcaraz @iga_swiatek
