    News Release 26 November 2018 DJOKOVIC, NADAL, FEDERER IN TOP 3 YEAR-END ATP RANKINGS FOR RECORD 7TH TIME, FIRST TIME SINCE 2014 PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA — The ATP World Tour today published the 2018 year-end ATP Rankings on ATPWorldTour.com after an exciting season of milestones and breakthroughs. The trio of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer finished in the Top 3 ATP Rankings for the seventh time (2007-11, 2014, 2018), the first since 2014. All three players ranked No. 1 at one stage during the year and it was the first time all three ranked No. 1 during the same season. There were five changes in the year-end Top 10 from the previous season for the second year in a row, including first-timers No. 6 Kevin Anderson and No. 10 John Isner, both former U.S. collegiate standouts. The last time at least two former college players finished in the Top 10 was in 1989 when John McEnroe, Brad Gilbert and Jay Berger accomplished the feat. Other players returning to the Top 10 were World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who was No. 12 at the end of 2017, No. 5 Juan Martin del Potro, who equaled his year- end best from 2013, the last time he was in the Top 10, and No. 9 Kei Nishikori, who jumped from No. 22 last year. For the first time in ATP Rankings history (since 1973), players from five different regions of the world were represented in the Top 10. Six players from Europe and one each from Africa, Asia, North and South America comprised the Top 10.

  • Than 5000 Tennis Lovers Are Seated to the Ceiling of the Royal Albert
    At capacity: More than 5,000 tennis lovers are seated to the ceiling of the Royal Albert Hall Persian prince: Mansour Bahrami Court charmer: Tim Henman SPORT MIND Games The Royal Albert Hall has cleared the stage of musicians and scientists for a tournament of unprecedented sporting spectacle. GEMMA TAYLOR speaks with the stars of this year’s Statoil Masters Tennis to unravel the mysteries of the tennis player psyche THE CENTRAL ATRIUM OF the Royal Albert Hall was originally built by Prince Albert to promote the understanding of cultural concerts and exhibitions and this winter, it’s being transformed into Lapland’s answer to Wimbledon. World champions such as national treasure Tim Henman, the famously volatile seven-time Grand Slam Champion John McEnroe, Pat Cash, Goran Ivanisevic, Carlos Moyá, Mark Philippoussis, Mats Wilander and trick-shot maestro Mansour Bahrami will be among those battling it out at this official ATP Champions Tour finale. As one of the most intimate and intense tennis courts in the world, only those well-versed in the stresses of the game will survive. First up, representing France in the Paris corner is Henri Leconte. Off-court bad-boy Henri brought a roguish cheekiness to the tennis industry in Dream team: Mark Philippoussis the 80s that he says has now been replaced with steely (left) and Pat Cash professionalism. “What makes this tournament so fun is that you can be a real personality. There’s less pressure and the stakes aren’t so high. Tennis today is harder, faster, and the entourage is huge. I had one coach.

Rubin, from Long Island, NY, joins fellow American teen Taylor Fritz and former world No. 5 Juan Martin del Potro in securing the DBO's three wild cards. Rubin played in the Delray Beach qualifying tournament a year ago, reaching the second round. The 19-year-old Rubin scored his biggest career win in January, beating world No. 18 Benoit Paire in the first round of the Australian Open. He also picked up a number of ATP points with a 2015 Challenger win in Charlottesville, Va. shortly after turning pro. Rubin played a single season at Wake Forest, becoming the first player in ACC history to be named both Freshman of the Year and Player of the Year in the same year.

    2010 News Page 1 of 22 The Website of Maria Bueno, Tennis Champion MARIA ESTHER’S BIRTHDAY, Sao Paulo, 11 October 2011 Maria celebrated her birthday in some style on 11 October in Sao Paulo. She kicked off with the tennis team (pictured right) at her home club, the Sociedade Harmonia de Tênis where the chef produced three birthday cakes, which she shared with friends, members and staff, and later, she had lunch with her family (pictured left). “It was a wonderful day that I got to share with all the people who support me,” said Maria Esther. “I really appreciate all the help they give me so this is a very small way to say thank you!” TV Globo’s special on Brazil’s contribution to Formula I and stock car racing, which featured Maria Esther, was aired that night. ‘Linha de Chegada’ (or ‘The Finish Line’) was hosted by Reginaldo Leme who interviewed Maria Esther and stock car racer Max Wilson (pictured right), both of whom have had successful careers and understand the needs of training away from their respective sports in order to be able to perform fully in competition. Max Wilson said: “The physics of tennis is very much part of the sport than in racing. “I'm not a tennis player, but I try to my improve my fitness as a tennis player because motorsport requires more than just driving. So, I'll be more prepared than I need for the races.” Born in Germany, Max Wilson grew up in the neighborhood of Interlagos and has always been passionate about speed.

    News Release 11 November 2018 DJOKOVIC PRESENTED YEAR-END ATP WORLD TOUR NO. 1 TROPHY AT 2018 NITTO ATP FINALS LONDON — Novak Djokovic was today presented with the 2018 year-end ATP World Tour No. 1 trophy during an on-court presentation at the Nitto ATP Finals, the season finale at The O2 in London. The Serbian is one of only four players in ATP Rankings history (since 1973) to have clinched the year-end top spot on five (or more) occasions, joining Pete Sampras (six), Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer (both five times). Djokovic, who replaced Spain’s Rafael Nadal at No. 1 on 5 November, has completed a remarkable comeback to top form in 2018, capturing four titles—including two Grand Slams and two ATP World Tour Masters 1000s – from six tour-level finals. Aged 31 and six months, Djokovic is the oldest player to finish year-end No. 1 in ATP Rankings history. Having previously finished at the top in 2011-12, 2014-15, he is the second player — after Nadal (2008, 2010, 2013 and 2017) — with three stints as year-end No. 1. He is also the first player to be ranked outside the Top 20 and finish the same season at No. 1 in the history of the ATP Rankings. Russia’s Marat Safin was as low at No. 38 on 28 February 2000 before becoming No. 1 on 20 November that year, but he did not finish the season at No. 1. When Djokovic fell to No. 22 on 21 May 2018, it was his lowest ranking since he was No.

  • Nadal Starts Fourth Stint at No. 1 in Emirates Atp Rankings
    News Release 21 August 2017 NADAL STARTS FOURTH STINT AT NO. 1 IN EMIRATES ATP RANKINGS LONDON – Almost nine years to the day since he first became No. 1, Spain’s Rafael Nadal today returned to the top of the Emirates ATP Rankings for his fourth stint at the pinnacle of men’s professional tennis. Nadal, who has already spent 141 total weeks at No. 1, replaces Great Britain’s Andy Murray, who had held the top spot for 41 weeks since 7 November 2016. Nadal, who first ascended to No. 1 on 18 August 2008 at the age of 22, last held top spot three years and 45 days ago on 6 July 2014. The Spaniard will now look to stay ahead of his great Swiss rival Roger Federer and finish atop the year-end Emirates ATP Rankings for the first time since 2013 and for the fourth time in his career (2008, 2010, 2013). “Being No. 1 after all the things that I have been going through the last couple of years is something unbelievable, so [it] is, for me, an amazing achievement to be back to that position after [a] few years, three years,” said Nadal. The 31-year-old Nadal has spent three previous stints at No. 1 – 46 weeks between 18 August 2008 and 5 July 2009, 56 weeks from 7 June 2010 to 3 July 2011 and 39 weeks between 7 Page 2 of 3 October 2013 and 6 July 2014.
