It's not that I'd forgotten this France v Canada Davis Cup tie in Guadeloupe. But I'd forgotten how ... MUCH was going on. Including the boat full of clay that sailed from France. A Davis Cup flashback to 10 years ago. Let's just say France overdid it, just a tad. 🤣 opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Lazy headlines the last day or so have Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro as besties in an exclusive "Billionaire Girls' Club". Or something. It's trite. Leads people to draw disingenuous conclusions. The truth is their paths were different, but no easier. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

You want a flashback? Here's one. (Those pics typically taken after a humid, sweaty hike out to the grounds and the resultant tragic effect on the bangs).

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

On the ATP Tour side, a ton of changes as three move into (or back to) the top 20: Cincy champ Arthur Fils, runnerup Frances Tiafoe, and American swing winner Brandon Nakashima. Here's a rundown: opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Monday's WTA Tour rankings update has some nice moves and a few drops because of points coming off early (ish). But Sara Bejlek, with another big result, puts herself in a seeded position in NY. It's all here: opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

This week's roster on the #CanucksThisWeek beat. Already under way. Because Slams are 3 weeks now, too. 🙄 Sebov sneaks in late to make it 5 Canuckian women in the qualies. All here! opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

FAA the only one left in singles in Cincy (plus Cana-Chilean Tabilo), a few women in doubles. And a lot of Canucks at a new 125 Challenger in Quebec City. Which has a pretty tough field, as you can imagine. Here's this week's #CanucksThisWeek roster: opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Alexandra Eala met Alycia Parks just six months ago in the first round of the Australian Open. It was a small court, but packed, as Parks won in three sets. Fast forward and everything has changed. They meet again tonight in Toronto. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

021

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Same for the women, but worth waiting for, for Alexandra Eala and her fans. She wins her first Tour title by beating an all-star cast, and hits the top 20 for the first time. It's all here. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

For the women, beset by far fewer defections ( so far), it's an opportunity. Can Leylah Fernandez and Bianca Andreescu maximize in Toronto? We break it down. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

A lot of talk about who's NOT in Montreal for the National Bank Open. But there are a lot of players who ARE. Here's a breakdown of the notables, with the main draw starting Sunday. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

It was a road where every single door opened. And so 17-year-old Cruz Hewitt will take the court in D.C. tomorrow against Aussie No. 1 Alex de Minaur. He grew up on the courts, and we captured it. Here's a look at Cruz Hewitt through the years: opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

It's a bridge week on the WTA Tour - an interlude between Wimbledon and the summer hard-court season. But it was very, very good to some first-time champions. Here are the updated Monday rankings - on Sunday! opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Another big week on the #CanucksThisWeek beat coming up, with the action centred at the Odlum Brown Open in Vancouver. And with some of the big guns starting their summer hard-court seasons. Roster is here: opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Great week on the #Canucks This Week, with four players in singles finals: Liam Draxl (Winnipeg). Ariana Arseneault and Teah Chavez (against each other, in Saskatoon after great SF wins) And Alvin Tudorica in Huamantla. Also - two dubs finals. Results: opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Popped up on my Facebook. TEN years ago today (damn). These two rather .... inebriated ladies absolutely wanted a selfie with me at the D.C. tournament. For literally no reason other than inebriation. 🍷🍷🍷🤣🤣

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

It's a packed week on the #CanucksThisWeek beat - already under way. There's a Challenger in Winnipeg, and an ITF in Saskatoon, and many more around the world. Follow here: opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

On the WTA side, a lot of moves inside the top 10. Notably, the two Czechs in the Wimbledon singles final are in. And a lot of other career highs. Monday's rankings are here - on Sunday! opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

011

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Small moves at the top of the ATP Tour rankings on Monday. But RG champ and Wimbledon finalist is now the No. 2 playre in the world. And Arthur Fery is the No. 1 Brit. Monday's updated rankings are here! On Sunday! opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

After an association that has lasted Félix Auger-Aliassime's entire pro career, he and Frédéric Fontang are going their separate ways. Somehow, it feels like the right time to start a new chapter. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

074

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Huge roster on the #CanucksThisWeek beat this week. In addition to the Wimbledon survivors, dozens of Canadian men at a fun $30K ITF in Laval, and a bunch of women on grass in Newport. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

For the first time in five years, after years of tough early losses at Wimbledon, Félix Auger-Aliassime makes the 2nd week, and makes his Centre Court debut. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

A couple of first-time champions on the ATP Tour didn't make big dents in their rankings, but meant everything to them - especially for Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Today's ATP Tour rankings update now. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Not a ton of moves on the WTA tour, with the new rankings coming out on Monday. But hey, you get them on Sunday! And Karolina Muchova is back in the top 10! It's all here. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Tuesday's order of play for Wimbledon is already out (so they must be pretty sure about the weather). And you'll have to wait until the end of the day for Serena Williams's return. She's last on. (Pic: AELTC) opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Not quite the same size roster on the #CanucksThisWeek beat as last week. But the biggie is here: Wimbledon. The full list, and results so far, right here: opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

001

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

On the men's side at Wimbledon on Day 1, not the same type of compelling drama. But plenty of question marks the two men on Centre Court will look to answer. Plus the top two Canadians hope to start their runs. Monday's men's sked here: opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

062

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Day 1 at Wimbledon on Monday (no Sunday start for the traditionalists) will have a bunch of super-fascinating openers on the women's side, a big question mark and – both Canadian women in action. OOP here: opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Bianca Andreescu is back into a Grand Slam main draw for the first time in nearly two years, after three solid wins in Wimbledon qualifying. And, she got some draw luck for her first-round match. It's all here - with a bunch of vintage Andreescu Wimbledon moments. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

On the ATP Tour side, Halle champ Tiafoe back into the top 20. And Casper Ruud, who got married instead of playing on the grass, moves up two! Win-win for him. Updated rankings here: opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

It's Sunday. But here are Monday's updated @wta rankings! Some of the moves have an effect on the seeds at the top of the list. But there's also a top-10 debut and multiple top-50 debuts. It's all here: ⬇️ opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

A lot going on - AGAIN - this week on the #CanucksThisWeek beat. No Mboko (out for grass, period) and no Andreescu or Stakusic. But a full list, already under way. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Can't remember the last time the #CanucksThisWeek roster was this big - 40+ players, lots of doubles. Here's what's happened so far. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

011

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

On the ATP Tour side, noting quite as dramatic. But singles finalist Flavio Cobolli breaks into the top 10 for the first time. And Félix Auger-Aliassime moves to a career high No. 4. It's all here: opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

001

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Another Slam done and dusted. And a ton of moves on the WTA rankings list - most notably finalist Maja Chwalinska, who leaps from No. 114 to No. 21. Life changing. We dig in here. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

001

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Maja Chwalinska hardly came out of nowhere; she's been on our radar here for nearly a decade. But her court craft has stunningly come into vogue at this Roland Garros How does she do it? We dive in ahead of this surprising women's singles final. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Saturday's Roland Garros women's singles final will be the biggest moment in Mirra Andreeva's young career. But the Russian has already had some pretty cool moments in Paris since making her debut at 16. Watch here! opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

A mixed-doubles final and a women's doubles semi is a pretty good haul at Roland-Garros for Canadian Gabriela Dabrowski, whose clay-court season started late. But it ended Friday in emphatic fashion against a great team in great form. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

021

Open Court tennis @opencourt.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

As tough as it is to lose late in a major, Félix Auger-Aliassime's thoroughly disheartened reaction at Roland Garros on Wednesday made this feel like a watershed moment in his career - a fork in the road. Which way will he go? We dive in. opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...

Ahead of his quest for a Roland Garros semifinal today vs. Flavio Cobolli, Félix Auger-Aliassime pushed back emphatically against the notion that clay isn't his thing. (With some GREAT flashback footage). opencourt.ca/wordpress/20...
