Her collection of 15 major championships includes five from Wimbledon, five from the Australian Open, four from the U.S. Open ... and one from Roland Garros. Ever since she beat her sister in the 2002 final in Paris, sta...

Still, the matchup is semi-terrific. Seven-time champion Nadal vs. No. 1-ranked Djokovic carries the heft of a final, even if both players need two more victories to claim the championship. N...

The French Open's defending champion could not direct the ball where she wanted at the start of her quarterfinal against Serbia's Jelena Jankovic. Point after point ended with a mistake by Sharapova — long, wide, into the net, 20 unforced errors in all. It added...

Still grieving, Djokovic began shakily Monday. Six of the match's first seven unforced errors were his. After one poor exchange...

Soon enough, he was in a real rut, in danger of his earliest exit from a Grand Slam tournament in nine years. Federer regrouped and restored order eventually, coming back from a two-sets-to-one deficit to...

And with the French Open less than 10 days away, he will enter Roland Garros on the back of two early defeats. The top-ranked Serb wasted a chance to serve out the match and was beaten 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 by sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych in the Italian Open quarterfinals Friday. In the s...
