Congratulations Coco Gauff – DC Champion! Wow, what a fantastic performance and fantastic week for Coco! I’ve been preaching patience for Coco. She has all the tools. She’s doing great. No need to rush. Well, it looks like Coco had other ideas. When she demolished Bencic, I gave her credit, but also felt Bencic was…

I have to admit this is my favorite time of year! Wimbledon rolling right into summer hardcourt and culminating in the U.S. Open. There’s almost tennis every week, every day! Although I’ll focus on the U.S. hardcourt, there’s enough going on around the world to also provide early morning viewing for all of us in…

Another incredible tournament to further support Novak’s case for GOAT. Congratulations Novak!! With this title also comes a men’s record 23rd Grand Slam passing Rafael Nadal, the oldest man to win a major (passing Nadal again), a record career grand slam 3x, and a return to #1.

Congrats Iga Swiatek, 2023 French Open Champion!! What a fantastic match for Swiatek and game effort from Muchova.

Kudos to Muchova, who…
