After taking Aryna Sabalenka's No. 1 ranking, Elena Rybakina just dethroned Sabalenka at the US Open, playing an exceptional final to claim her third major title. In the final set, Rybakina displayed a level that hardly anyone on the tour could match currently, further cementing her status as the fully deserved World No. 1.

Qinwen Zheng continues to prove that she's the undisputed comeback queen at the 2026 US Open after battling back from 0-5 down against Iga Swiatek to book her second quarterfinal in Flushing. Her next opponent is Elena Rybakina who is one win away from becoming the new World No.1 after dispatching of Naomi Osaka in straight sets. Coco Gauff also earned an impressive round-of-16 win vs Iva Jovic and will now face Mirra Andreeva for the sixth time.

Many of the top women's stars, including Alex Eala and Coco Gauff dominated their opening round matches at the 2026 US Open, while the top men's seed, Alexander Zverev, narrowly avoided a shock upset to Lorenzo Sonego. Eala and Gauff seek revenge wins in the second round when they take on Oleksandra Oliynykova and Paula Badosa, who both beat them a few months ago.

After a four-month layoff, Carlos Alcaraz is back in the winner's circle after earning a solid straight-sets win over Roman Safiullin. Alcaraz also impressed with his outfit, partnering with Travis Scott for an edgy Cactus Jack kit. Arthur Fils was eliminated by Stefanos Tsitsipas, who threw a lot of shade towards Nick Kyrgios. Naomi Osaka turned heads in her Allen Iverson-inspired look, but she will look to improve her level after a shaky win vs Zakharova. Frances Tiafoe won the match of the day, defeating dangerous Martin Damm in five sets.

Day 1 of the 2026 US Open got off to a middling start, but the drama drastically increased during the night session where two legends Novak Djokovic and Venus Williams suffered rough early round exits at the hands of Mariano Navone and Sofia Kenin.

The 2026 US Open women's draw is out, and FOUR women (Elena Rybakina, Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, and Jessica Pegula) are playing for both the title and the World No. 1 ranking. Will any of those women walk away with the trophy and the ranking, or will someone like Naomi Osaka or Iga Swiatek emerge as the champion?

Arthur Fils and Coco Gauff capped off impressive runs at the Cincinnati Open with victories over Frances Tiafoe and Jessica Pegula in the finals, respectively. Can Arthur and Coco continue this form into New York and sweep the year's final major? Also, Stan Wawrinka was confirmed to have been snubbed for a main-draw wildcard, while the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship looks...perplexing.

Jannik Sinner revealed that he will NOT compete at the 2026 US Open citing a knee injury. The news comes a day after Carlos Alcaraz confirmed his participation, but the men's field remains VERY open. In Cincinnati, Frances Tiafoe, Arthur Fils, Brandon Nakashima, and Flavio Cobolli all play for their maiden Masters 1000 title. Meanwhile Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek are each one win from setting a blockbuster finale, although Sara Bejlek seeks to notch another MASSIVE upset.

Aryna Sabalenka's post-Sunshine Double slump continues after suffering a shocking straight-sets loss to Sara Bejlek at the Cincinnati Open. Her Battle of the Sexes opponent Nick Kyrgios, is going through an even worse period after announcing he failed a drug test. Things are heating up in Cincinnati as Iga Swiatek & Elena Rybakina headline a pivotal quarterfinal clash.

Venus & Serena Williams almost pulled off a fairytale doubles comeback in Cincinnati but fell just short in an entertaining three-set exchange against Marta Kostyuk and Peyton Stearns. Amanda Anisimova snapped Alex Eala's top-10 winning streak with a hard-fought comeback win to set a clash with Wimbledon champ Linda Noskova.

Iga Swiatek has ended her title drought with an impressive title run in Toronto, which included back-to-back top-10 victories over Elina Svitolina and Elena Rybakina. Even though Rybakina fell short in Canada, she also had an impressive tournament, scoring gritty victories over Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff. I'll also look ahead to the Cincinnati Open and preview/predict the tournament action there.

Aryna Sabalenka suffered another tight three-set loss after falling to Ekaterina Alexandrova in the National Bank Open in Toronto. Sabalenka's results haven't been up to her high standards since completing the Sunshine Double...can she regain her top form by the US Open? Iga Swiatek is looking closer to her best after earning a revenge victory vs Marta Kostyuk.

Alex Eala mania has completely taken over Toronto, with a sellout crowd in Sobeys Stadium propelling the Filipina sensation to a three-set win over Alycia Parks. I'll preview Alex's upcoming match against Caty McNally and highlight some other results, including the MANY upsets in Montreal. And of course I HAVE to discuss Coco Gauff shouting me out during her press conference!

Alex Eala capped off a stellar D.C. Open tournament after toppling Jessica Pegula for her maiden WTA title. Eala defeated the No. 1, 2, and 3 seeds en route to trophy, cementing her debut title run as one of the most iconic in recent memory.

Alex Eala is in the middle of an outstanding run to the D.C. Open finals, where she defeated four heavy hitters in a row: Qinwen Zheng, Leylah Fernandez, Elina Svitolina, and now Naomi Osaka. Despite her GOATED run, people are finding ways to discredit her success, which doesn't sit right with me. I also break down the Canadian Open (Toronto) draw, which sees the return of Sabalenka, Gauff, Swiatek, and more top women's stars.

I'm on-site here in the nation's capital for the Mubadala DC Citi Open where both the men's and women's fields are STACKED. I had the chance to speak with Alex Eala, Naomi Osaka, Ben Shelton, Venus Williams, who got vulnerable following their Wimbledon tournaments, all for very different reasons.

Linda Noskova avoided an all-time choke to prevail against Karolina Muchova in an all-Czech Wimbledon championship.

It was deja vu for Jannik Sinner, who once again defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets to reach the final of Wimbledon. His opponent is a very inspired Alexander Zverev, who looks primed to snap his losing streak against the Italian. Will grass give the big-serving Zverev an edge? Or will Sinner successfully defend his title?
