June 30, 2023 01:36 - 42 minutes - 97.3 MBWomen's tennis has seemingly moved on from its 2000's and 2010's stars a lot faster than the ATP tour.

Now, with incredible players in their early to mid-twenties playing some of the greatest tennis the world has ever seen, the fun is starting fresh: who will become the...

May 21, 2023 16:41 - 54 minutes - 125 MBFor the first time since 2004, Rafael Nadal will not be in Paris for Roland Garros. The 14-time champion has a 98% winning percentage at the French Open, losing only 3 matches and pushed to five sets only 3 times - all of which he won. But in 2023, Nadal was forced to withdraw due to a persisting injury picked up at the Australian Open in January. Now what? With him in the draw, it's easy to pick him as a favourite - almost a duty. But now, with Novak Djokovic not at his best, Stefanos Tsit...

The tournament with unique conditions, hard courts slow as clay, and a reputation as the fifth grand slam, gave tennis fans around the world plenty of entertainment, and nerds like us plenty to think and talk about.
