After Roger #Federer retired I spent several months updating and writing new material for my biography "The Master" For me, it's the definitive version and a good companion to his new documentary looking at the final 12 days of his career

Emma Raducanu, an 18-year-old from Britain, becomes the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam singles title. Takes the US Open with an ace to close out her 6-4 6-3 victory over Leylah Fernandez of Canada. Did not drop a set in 10 matches. One of the great tennis stories #getty

I just asked Djokovic about this. He said he did not know the boy but he had heard the boy had been supporting him throughout the match, even offering him detailed tactics. Djokovic said if anyone deserved the racket after the final, it was him.

It happens so rarely, but I still think it's worth exploring. When a player withdraws this late in a Grand Slam or before a major tour final, the beaten player should be able to take the slot. In this case Fritz would play Kyrgios as a "lucky loser". The show must go on

Gabriela Sabatini, one of tennis's great prodigies, turns 50. A shy person who had to learn to accept the limelight, she was part of some of the most memorable matches of the late 80s and early 90s. She remains an icon in Argentina, which has been marking the occasion all week

Federer’s craziest stat: never retired from any singles or doubles match on tour. 1526 singles matches. 223 doubles. Connors only man to play more tour singles matches retired from 14. Djokovic 13; Nadal 9
The Reliable, Graceful and Fallible Roger Federer (Published 2022)

Federer’s moves made even blowout matches worthy of watching. And the moments in which he fell short made his legacy even more intriguing.

Kyrgios has been given plenty of chances through the years and been cut plenty of slack by the tour. He is not a kid anymore. His misbehavior on court is a clear pattern of behavior. ATP is right to crack down
