US Tennis Center

So unless ESPN is showing the match on their main network, fans have to buy ESPN Unlimited to watch any of the three biggest courts (John Cain, Margaret Court and Rod Laver) at the Australian Open. @espn screw you No wonder no one in America watches tennis… too damn hard to

@misterpatohere Pete Maravich lol??

Agree. Number 1.

Really great to see Alex Molcan back in an ATP Quarterfinal. He’s been in the tennis wilderness for too long… great to see his game back at this level. So dominant against Diallo today

@Big3GOATRace Oh totally. My tweet was just more about his demeanor all interview. A lot of young players in this situation looked overawed by the moment but he really acted like he was supposed to be there. Cool to see

@USTennisCenter I mean good chance he already knew this. Not like he didn’t grow up there looking for role models that didn’t exist.

Not sure how many people listened to Adolfo Daniel Vallejo’s post match interview against Svajda but man oh man is he a cool customer. Barely even looked fazed after being told that he was the first Paraguayan since 2006 to win 2+ ATP matches in a season. Big future here!

Etcheverry hit just 9 winners in his 3-set win today…. Might be the lowest winner total I’ve ever seen from a winner in a three-set match

I would very much like to see Marco Trungletti reach the top 100. Few players deserve it more than the grand slam qualifying goat!

@bloodyleviath I mean that was two weeks later to be fair, lot more recovery time

@USTennisCenter Was Arnaldi really njured, dude went into war with Shevchenko in Miami

What a win for Mackie McDonald man, easily one of his best ATP results in ages (the win over the still injured Arnaldi only counts so much lol). Really brutal loss for defending champ Brooksby who’s now lost 4 of his last 5 matches and will fail to defend any of his 250 pts…

@bloodyleviath I mean I think he’d rather have an ATP win personally. More ranking points obviously available here lol

@USTennisCenter He got embarrassed in tournament in this own country few weeks ago no wonder he dont care

@ppppyhu Love it mate! He was great today!

@USTennisCenter x.com/ppppyhu/status… been on him for months

@jmgmoron @_claymagazine How are the year-end bonuses distributed? Is the reward for most ATP 500 wins included among year-end bonuses ? Really appreciate this post, lots of great info here!! Thank you!

No estoy de acuerdo con algunas cosas que plantea Schwartzman en esta entrevista a @_claymagazine. Dice que hay descontento entre los jugadores por los M1000 de dos semanas. ¿Realmente es así? Lo que se pide, en general, es que más gente pueda vivir del tenis. Eso lo permite los M1000 de dos semanas, ya que al haber cuadros más grandes, más jugadores pueden entrar y que haya historias como la de Marozsan, Landaluce, Atmane o Vacherot. Si los M1000 fuesen de una semana, el corte se haría muy arriba y jamás habríamos visto algo así. Con el dinero que se genera de más, la ATP reparte bonus a final de año para que los tenistas también se sientan parte de los beneficios, aparte de que se está asegurando un fijo de gastos para los jugadores de Ranking más bajo y que no pierdan dinero. Se está intentando que más gente viva del tenis y eso se está logrando. Seguro habrá gente del Top que no necesita tantos días libres sin hacer nada en China o Canadá, pero seguro que con los bonus de final de año y con los jugadores de peor Ranking que reciben más ingresos todo compensa. Comparto que el calendario es excesivamente largo y eso sí que debe cambiar. A ver cómo se hace, porque fácil no es. Lo de que haya gente que no sepa cuántos puntos reparte un torneo, diría que los fans de verdad lo saben. Y quien no lo sepa será que no es tan fan del tenis y no deberíamos cambiar nada nosotros, sino ellos. Es como el que pide que los Slams pasen a ser al mejor de 3 y no al mejor de 5 para captar a la gente joven. Esto es como es, y el hecho de que cada vez haya más audiencias y públicos habla de que vamos bien. Que tampoco es tan difícil de entender 😅 La clave está en ponerlo más fácil para seguirlo por tv, que en eso sí estoy de acuerdo con Diego, y que pongamos un techo en cada pista principal de los M1000.

@masonyo25 Oh yeah… if Steve Johnson is winning a clay court tournament then that says a lot lmao

@USTennisCenter Completely agree. Definitely a faster clay which is why Ben does well here and not as well everywhere else Also why guys like Opelka and Steve Johnson have won it lol

The Houston clay is just so so different. Almost a completely surface entirely to European/South American clay courts. Always thought it would be fascinating if Houston moved to the middle of clay court season and fans could really see the difference between the types of clay

@AntottoG Not at all lol

@USTennisCenter I'm afraid he's not at ease with clay.

Culto di Svajda - peggio del previsto. Speriamo non abbia più modo di vedere una partita di Zach su terra. I campi di Houston non sono lenti, ma Zach non ha la minima aderenza quando colpisce e paga la sua altezza giocando sempre palline più in alto del punto di impatto amato.

Another big upset at the Marrakech ATP 250! 18 year old Karim Bennani (731) defeats Quentin Halys (90) 6-4, 6-7, 6-2 for his first ever ATP win. He has never even played a Challenger match. Earlier Baadi defeated Vukic. Both Moroccans were over 10 (+900) odds prematch 🤯

@masonyo25 It’s always easier for me to fully articulate the differences between Houston and European clay courts after Houston ends tbh. I get so used to watching that clay for a week that the next week is just a complete shock at first almost. The clay just looks cheaper in Houston idk

@USTennisCenter What differences do you notice?

Doesn’t make any sense logistically obviously. But it’s just always so interesting for me to start watching clay in Houston and then seeing the drastic differences between non North American clay

It is finally over. Hardcourt season has been going since July 2025. NINE MONTHS. NINE months of serve slapping. NINE months of bashing. NINE months of offensive foot squeaking. It’s time for the swish of sliding. It’s time for balanced gameplay. It’s time for the CLAY.
