  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.

  • Game, Set, Watched: Governance, Social Control and Surveillance in Professional Tennis
    GAME, SET, WATCHED: GOVERNANCE, SOCIAL CONTROL AND SURVEILLANCE IN PROFESSIONAL TENNIS By Marie-Pier Guay A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada November, 2013 Copyright © Marie-Pier Guay, 2013 Abstract Contrary to many major sporting leagues such as the NHL, NFL, NBA, and MLB, or the Olympic Games as a whole, the professional tennis industry has not been individually scrutinized in terms of governance, social control, and surveillance practices. This thesis presents an in-depth account of the major governing bodies of the professional tennis circuit with the aim of examining how they govern, control, constrain, and practice surveillance on tennis athletes and their bodies. Foucault’s major theoretical concepts of disciplinary power, governmentality, and bio-power are found relevant today and can be enhanced by Rose’s ethico-politics model and Haggerty and Ericson’s surveillant assemblage. However, it is also shown how Foucault, Rose, and Haggerty and Ericson’s different accounts of “modes of governing” perpetuate sociological predicaments of professional tennis players within late capitalism. These modes of surveillance are founded on a meritocracy based on the ATP and WTA rankings systems. A player’s ranking affects how he or she is governed, surveilled, controlled, and even punished. Despite ostensibly promoting tennis athletes’ health protection and wellbeing, the systems of surveillance, governance, and control rely on a biased and capitalistically-driven meritocracy that actually jeopardizes athletes’ health and contributes to social class divisions, socio- economic inequalities, gender discrimination, and media pressure.

  • Pressemitteilung 8/17
    St.Ulrich, 09. Oktober 2017 PRESSEMITTEILUNG 8/17 Traum von Tröbinger geplatzt – Viola und drei Spieler aus Deutschland qualifizieren sich in Gröden für das Hauptfeld – Am Dienstag um 18 Uhr spielt Andreas Seppi – Prader am Mittwoch um 16 Uhr In der entscheidenden Qualifikationsrunde beim Sparkasse ATP Challenger Val Gardena Südtirol gab es für Erwin Tröbinger nichts zu holen. Der 21 Jahre alte Wolkensteiner unterlag im Kampf um den Einzug in das Hauptfeld bei dem mit 64.000 Euro dotierten größten Tennisturnier in Südtirol dem Italiener Matteo Viola in 54 Minuten mit 2:6, 1:6. Viola, der in Gröden im Jahre 2012 im Halbfinale stand und aktuell auf Platz 281 der Weltrangliste liegt, war zu stark für Tröbinger, der im gesamten Match siebenmal seinen Aufschlag abgab und nur ein einziges Mal sein Service halten konnte. Viola ist der siebte Spieler aus Italien, der damit im Hauptfeld dabei ist, In der ersten Runde trifft er auf den Franzosen Tristan Lamasine. Neben Viola haben sich drei Spieler aus Deutschland für das Hauptfeld qualifiziert. Marc Sieber gewann gegen Edan Leshem aus Israel mit 6:3, 6:4. Kein Krawietz, im Vorjahr im Halbfinale in St. Ulrich, stoppte den Franzosen Albano Olivetti mit 7:5, 6:4, und Tim Pütz eliminierte mit dem Italiener Andrea Arnaboldi die Nummer eins der Qualifikation mit 7:6 (3), 6:3. Krawietz und Pütz treffen am Dienstag in einem Qualifikatenduell in der ersten Runde aufeinander. Sieber spielt zum Auftakt gegen den Holländer Igor Sijsling, und auch Leshem hat nach der Absage von Jurgen Zopp als Lucky Loser den Sprung ins Hauptfeld geschafft.
