No. 2 seed Gilles Simon and No. 3 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, both 30 years old, meet for the 10th time on tour and second time in a Metz final. Simon defeated Tsonga for the 2013 Moselle Open title and has swept 12 straight matches and 19 straight sets in Metz over his last three appearances (2010 Champion, 2013 Champion, 2015 Finalist). Tsonga won the Metz title twice in Simon’s absence (2011 and 2012). Simon vs. Tsonga is the third final of the season between countrymen after Simon defeated Gael Monfils at Marseille and Jack Sock beat fellow American Sam Querrey at Houston. No matter who wins, a Frenchman is assured a sixth ATP title this season. Only Spaniards, Serbians and Swiss have won more (all with eight). The Metz doubles final features the Top 2 seeds as US Open champions Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut put their nine-match win streak on the line against the first-time team of Lukasz Kubot of Poland and Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France. FRENCHMEN IN A RACE: The winner of Sunday’s championship match receives 250 Emirates ATP ranking points, which are valuable to both Gilles Simon and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the Emirates ATP Race to London. Only the Top 8 singles players gain a berth into the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals Nov. 15-22, and Simon and Tsonga are No. 14 and No. 15 respectively. The Moselle Open champion receives 250 ranking points and the runner-up receives 150. With Milos Raonic competing in the St. Petersburg Open final on Sunday, it’s important for Simon and Tsonga to keep pace with the 24-year-old Canadian when the race standings are updated on Monday.

While Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut cannot rise from No. 5 in the Emirates ATP Doubles Race to London, they can distance themselves from the team that beat them in the Australian Open final: No. 6 Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini of Italy.

  • 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.
