A “next next gen” in women’s tennis? @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/74406…

Thanks to Porchlight for running a pre-order special on my forthcoming book, THE CRUELEST GAME: Chasing Greatness in Professional Tennis. Bloomberg called it one of the top 10 books of the summer. promo.porchlightbooks.com/pages/promotio…

Jannik Sinner needed this one. @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/74411…

Long afternoon for Novak. This is his world now. @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/74334…

Coco showed everyone why I called my forthcoming book about tennis can be THE CRUELEST GAME @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/74342…

Want to be good at tennis? Do like the Czech women do! @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/74319…

So Bloomberg just named my forthcoming book, The Cruelest Game, one of the 10 best of the summer and put me on a list with Colson Whitehead. That’s kind of great. 2026 Summer Best Books Fiction and Nonfiction - Bloomberg bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

When someone is great at tennis and writes better in her second language than I do in my first I get a little jealous @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/74218…

Watching Naomi Osaka grow and learn how best to express herself has been one of the most fascinating evolutions to witness in my career. @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/74200…

There are a lot of recent American college graduates students bouncing around Europe this summer...and then there's Michael Zheng. @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/74164…

If you're not pulling for Grigor Dimotrov this week, it's possible ou don't have a heart. @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/74139…

Stress always seems to find world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. This is how she recovers and moves on...@TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/73738…

Ben Shelton's game would figure to shine on the grass. Or maybe not. @TheAthletic(Sorry, wrong link before) nytimes.com/athletic/73982…

Ben Shelton's game would figure to shine on the grass. Or maybe not. @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/74016…

Coco won a grass match for the first time in two years. How she can solve this. @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/74016…

Gaby Dabrowski is hardly a household tennis name. Her comeback story from breast cancer should make her one. @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/73672…

As a film exploring the rivalry, friendship and cancer battles or Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova comes out, Chris Evert may have yet another battle on her hands. @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/73745…

Here’s some great news — and cool pic of the great Catherine Whitaker @CWhitakerSport of The Tennis Podcast taping the audio of my upcoming book The Cruelest Game: Chasing Greatness in Professional Tennis. No better voice for this. You can pre-order here penguinrandomhouse.com/books/746451/t…

What is the antidoping hierarchy going to do with the new generation of weight loss drugs — and how does Serena’s story play into this? @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/73472…

Completely loving defending Queen’s champ Tatjana Maria embarrassing the LTA and the whole system of wild cards by plowing through qualifying and her main draw match. They refused to give her one in favor of Brits. Ridiculous. Defending champion!!!
