PREVIEW
For the women, Wimbledon may be more open now compared to the last few years. Usually, the easy bet would be to go with Serena Williams, she of the Wimbledon and 17 Grand Slam titles. But given her early losses in the previous two Slams, the world number one is no longer a sure bet. With Maria Sharapova back in form...
PREVIEW
What do we make of the women's game in this year's French Open? World number one Serena Williams is not having a Serena-type year. Despite winning at Rome last week, Serena has had some strange results so far in 2014 (her loss at Dubai to Alize Cornet comes to mind), plus she's had to deal with some nagging injuries this...
The 2014 Sony Open - much like the 2014 BNP Paribas Open - is another huge tennis tournament outside the four Grand Slams. The outdoor hard-court tournament begins this week and features many of the top men and women players in the game.

Meanwhile the 2014 Australian Open will be the first time since the 2009 U.S. Open...

The eighth seed Wawrinka defeated seventh seed Tomas Berdych 6-3, 6-7, 7-6, 7-6 in a tightly contested match...
There will be a new Australian Open men's singles champion!
Novak Djokovic's quest for a fourth consecutive Australian Open title ended after a thrilling five-set defeat to No. 8 Stan Wawrinka 2-6, 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 9-7 in a match that lasted exactly four hours.
In the fourth round last year, Djokovic held off Wawrinka 12-10 in...
