US Open finalist but hampered by a faulty serve, Jannik Sinner has learned his lessons. Since Monte-Carlo, the world No. 2 has been focusing on this key area before a crucial Asian tour.

At the US Open, Jannik Sinner, though reaching the final, struggled with his service game. This was evident in his first serve percentage during the final against Carlos Alcaraz, which fell below 50%. Throughout the tournament, the Italian only managed 59% on his first serves.

This is alarming for someone who has dropped to the world No. 2 in the ATP rankings. Training in Monte-Carlo this week, Sinner is taking time to rework his serve by practicing shadow movements (see video below).

The four-time Grand Slam winner will need a strong serve during the Asian tour, where he is defending a final in Beijing and a title in Shanghai.

Tennis never really stops… or almost. Behind the endless stream of tournaments, champions must learn to stop in order to last. From Federer to Alcaraz, an investigation into those decisive few weeks when everything is at stake: rest, release, and rebirth.

More Than a Match: Pay Inequalities Between Women and Men in Tennis

From the Williams sisters to Alizé Cornet, from sponsors to the ATP and WTA tours, the debate over pay equality in tennis has never been more intense. Between undeniable progress and persistent inequalities, the king of racket sports finds itself facing its own contradictions.

Programs for all ages and a pathway to the professional world in major complexes that are increasingly modernized. This is the motto of the Rafa Nadal Academy, which discovers the champions of tomorrow and prepares them for the very highest level.

I love tennis

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
