Team USA scores upset in Davis Cup
The initial reactions were that it was epic. Some even decided to call it one of the greatest Davis Cup upsets ever. And while it wasn’t quite either of those things, it was definitely something that American tennis desperately needed.
American tennis hit its low point a few weeks ago during the Australian Open when an American failed to reach the fourth round of a Slam for...

Fish pulls double duty in US win
In Davis Cup all things are possible and the United States team just proved it in Switzerland.
Without Andy Roddick, their banker over the past decade; without half of their talismanic doubles team; made to play on a specially laid clay court indoors at the Fribourg Forum and facing Roger Federer, Jim Courier's team surprised themselves and shocked the tennis world by establishing...

Taylor Townsend. Tennis dreams do come true.
I recall John McEnroe telling everyone to be patient on the subject of US tennis talent. Here we go. With bow and bracelets befitting her 15 years, Taylor Townsend, out of Stockbridge, Ga., won the junior singles girls final at the Australian Open. There are kids grinding their young lives out on tennis courts worldwide and this girl made it big. Not many do. Imagine the smile under...

Video: Andy Roddick Dishes on Lost Pride and Careful Proposals
SAP Open Ambassador Andy Roddick took a little time to answer Twitter questions from his fans. He dishes on what actor he would want to play him in a movie (and unless he gets a monster tan I'm pretty sure it won't work), his mohawk, and how he proposed to his wife. In typical Andy style his answers are quick, witty, one-liners that will leave you in stitches. Enjoy!

2012 Australian Open Final: Maria Sharapova vs. Victoria Azarenka
In recent years, women's tennis has become more enjoyable to watch than men's tennis. It might be because most points include some volleying back and forth instead of ace city in men's matches. Maybe it's because you're sick of Andy Roddick's inability to win a big match. Or it's possible that women's tennis players have become sex symbols...and...

And, poof, just like that, American tennis is gone. No, not just from the Australian Open, where the last American man standing, John Isner, lost before the first weekend of the year’s first major. US tennis is gone from the world map, too.

On the Grounds: Australian Open Days 4 & 5
by Pey Jung Yeong, Special for Tennis Grandstand
Day 4 of Australian Open found itself as the battleground for two veterans and familiar rivals with Lleyton Hewitt and Andy Roddick taking the centre stage, while Day 5 was the stage for two up and coming stars, but yet not so unfamiliar rivals – Bernard Tomic and Alexandr Dolgopolov. Whilst both matches ended on a sad note for me...

Lacoste lost (or let go?) some of the players who represented the brand. Samantha Stosur signed with Asics, and Wawrinka went to Yonex. However Lacoste replenished its American representation adding John Isner to its main ambassador Andy Roddick.
It was unexpected that Andy retired in a match with Lleyton Hewitt, but though he was not successful in this year's Australian Open...

Things started off well for Andy Roddick at the Australian Open, as he won his first round match over the Netherlands’ Robin Haase 6-3, 6-4, 6-1. But then America’s most decent men’s tennis player and best guy who married up got a little greedy. Roddick was pulling double duty at the Open, teaming up with Serena Williams for today’s mixed doubles action...
