This looks like a battle. I’m intrigued. Two tennis players giving it 100% in a 4.0 league match at Van Saun Park in Paramus, N.J.
It’s 5-5 and deuce. Two consistent and intense southpaws, both looking tremendously fit and serious. Gotta sit down and watch this one.

Some very funny moments happen in the world of professional tennis...
Magnus Larsson recalled the folly of almost losing his first prize money. "My first tennis paycheck, $2500. I lost. On the way back home to Stockholm. With my wallet. I had no money.

“I mean, of course I'm happy that I won a Grand Slam,” Osaka told reporters in a press conference on Monday. “I don't think there's anything that can take away from that. But I don't know. I feel like not that when I look back on it that it's a bad memory, but I feel like it was so strange, I didn't just want to think about it. I wanted to just push it to the side.

Bernard Tomic upset top seed and world no. 13 Fabio Fognini 61 36 76, saving four match points to win the most important title of his career in Chengdu, China.
