My first piece in @racquetmagazine is the digital cover story for October 🎾
Last summer, I took a trip to Kosovo and spent an incredible afternoon with the family who’s building the country’s tennis culture from the ground up. 🔗 ⬇️
My first time watching Errani-Paolini in person and it definitely lived up to the hype. Errani is such a menace in doubles.
The Italians upset No. 1 seeds Siniakova/Townsend 4-6, 6-1, 10-8 in the opening doubles match.
Don’t let the No. 8 by their name fool you…
Can the field challenge the top two WTA alpha doubles teams?
Here’s my “Elite Eight” breakdown of all 8 doubles teams competing in the desert this week. #FAGEWTAFinals 🔗 ⬇️
2022 Ft. Worth ➡️ 2026 Indian Wells
Whether partners or rivals, it’s incredible that Coco and Jess have both qualified for the WTA Finals *5 straight years* now.
They’ve been the backbone of U.S. women’s tennis this decade 🇺🇸 #FAGEWTAFinals
Touched down in the desert just in time for this Gauff vs. Pegula 3-set battle. Stadium 2 is packed, high energy, and a great choice as the WTA Finals venue IMO 🇺🇸

The WTA Tour taking control of its's destiny and taking on some big risks. @TheAthletic

Half of the WTA Finals doubles lineup has now qualified 5 or more times:
✅ Siniakova & Mertens (8 years in a row)
✅ Dabrowski (8 of last 10 years)
✅ Hsieh & Schuurs (7th appearance)
✅ Errani (6th time in 14 years)
✅ Melichar & Mladenovic (5th time)
Quite a loaded veteran-heavy field.
Elise Mertens has qualified for the WTA Finals 8 years in a row with 6 different partners:
2018: Schuurs
2019: Sabalenka
2021: Hsieh
2022: Kudermetova
2023: Hunter
2024: Hsieh
2025: Kudermetova
2026: Zhang
One of this generation's doubles greats.
This was a great listen hearing Raj reflect on his career and stack up the current ATP top 10 and many of his top doubles rivals.
He will make a fantastic analyst if he keeps up his commentary work on TC 👏🏻

Piccola breaking news dal mondo del doppio: dal 2027, Simone Bolelli farà coppia con il francese Manuel Guinard, numero 15 del ranking di specialità, che ha appena sfiorato la qualificazione a Torino insieme a Guido Andreozzi.

Lots of emotions for me on the marathon course yesterday, especially at one spot near Sloan Kettering. @TheAthletic

Very curious if Ben or Bryan Shelton was the first to initiate the conversation about adding Juan Carlos Ferrero to the team.
The Italians are so incredibly clutch when it’s on the line. Backs against the wall this week, they not only grab the final 8th spot but then go on to beat the most in-form team and win the title in Tokyo.
Forzaaaa 🇮🇹
The Italians Secure the Trophy! 🇮🇹🏆
@SaraErrani & @JasminePaolini defeat Dabrowski/Stefani in straight sets.

For those wondering what’s next for Joe Salisbury, a sports psychology career could be on the horizon.
