Following a disappointing year does Frances Tiafoe have a point to prove in Milan especially as the most experienced player?

Twelve months ago I watched Stefanos Tsitsipas take on Frances Tiafoe in Milan at the Next Gen Finals. The American lost the match 3-4 3-4 2-4 against the Greek in a performance I described as having too much swag and not enough steel. Frances Tiafoe now heads to Milan once again and I'm still yet...

Out of his hands! Defeat leaves Berrettini waiting over his place in London!

At just before half past eleven on Wednesday night in Paris the fate of Matteo Berrettini's place in London was taken out of his hands. The last player you probably want to face in this situation of 'must win' at this time of the season is Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. The good news for Berrettini is that...

Edmund see’s off Schwartzman and you wouldn’t rule him out against an unconvincing Djokovic!

Coming into your last tournament of the year on the back of eight straight defeats and potentially finishing the year outside the top 80 was a scary prospect for Kyle Edmund but the Brit has looked so invested in his opening two matches at the Paris Masters. Tuesday saw an impressive 6-4 6-3 win against...
