US Open Predictions, the American Seeds
U.S tennis is not what it used to be. Long are the days where American men dominated the tennis landscape with the likes of Agassi, Sampras, Courier, McEnroe and Connors. On the women’s side, it’s been more positive, but Serena is really the only one holding the banner, and at 37, she’s only got a ... Read more

The US Open is finally here. The tennis world is now descending on New York City, where they will fight it out for the last Grand Slam of the season.

Female Coaches on the Pro Circuit
My best coach ever was a woman! This means a great deal, coming from someone in her fifties, who started playing tennis as an older teenager and has always had a coach. Since I picked up a racquet, I have had at least 10 private coaches and have taken lessons, at camps, clubs or with ... Read more
Lindsay Davenport is One of the Best Tennis Minds Around
There’s no doubt Lindsay Davenport is one of the best tennis minds around. She’s been a top player, has provided great and insightful commentary on the Tennis Channel and of course coached Madison Keys to her biggest moments. I remember watching Lindsay Davenport between 94 and 97 thinking that she’ll be a decent top ... Read more
American Players and the Clay Court Season
Inspired by the start of the clay season, I recently wrote a short blog about American women players, Madison Keys, Amanda Anisimova and Sloane Stephens, looking good on clay in advance of the French Open. I thought it would not be fair to leave American men out of the conversation! With Fabio Fognini capturing his ... Read more
The Clay Season is Here
The Clay Season is here; how are the American women looking? I learned to play on red clay. It is an understatement to say that tennis on hard courts is a different game. As difficult as it is for a clay-courter to play on hard courts, it is even harder for players used to hard ... Read more
Danielle Collins Runs into Kamau Murray
Her quarterfinal result at the Volvo Open was a decent start to Danielle Collins’ clay court season. Ok, I get it, it’s not the red clay. However, I consider the Volvo Open as decent tune up to the European clay court swing. Also, it had a pretty legit field, with numerous top 20 players on ... Read more
Keys and Muguruza Look Solid Going into Clay Season
What a week for Madison Keys. She beat three Grand Slam champions on her way to winning the Volvo Open in Charleston, North Carolina. She first beats Jelena Ostapenko in the round of 16, then Sloane Stephens in the Quarterfinal and finally Caroline Wozniacki in the final. That’s no small feat. Additionally, she handily beat ...
