  • 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.

All rights reserved. PREFACE The Rules of Tennis have changed! That’s right. For only the fifth time in the history of tennis, the Rules of Tennis have changed. The change specifies that sanctioned events for kids 10 and under must be played with some variation of the courts, rules, scoring and equipment utilized by 10 and Under Tennis. In other words, the Rules of Tennis now take into account the unique physical and physiological attributes of children. Tennis is no longer asking children to play an adult-model sport. And the rule change could not have come fast enough. Something drastic needs to happen if the poor rate of tennis participation in children is taken seriously. Among children under 10, tennis participation pales in relation to soccer, baseball, and basketball. Worse, only .05 percent of children under 10 who play tennis participate in USTA competition. Clearly, something is amiss, and the USTA believes that the new rule governing 10-and- under competition will help transform tennis participation among American children through the USTA’s revolutionary 10 and Under Tennis platform. The most basic aspect of any sport rollout is to define the rules of engagement for training and competition. So in an attempt to best gauge how to provide the proper foundation for kids to excel in tennis—through training, competition, and transition—the USTA held its inaugural Youth Tennis Symposium in February 2012.

  • EU Sports Policy: Assessment and Possible Ways Forward
    STUDY Requested by the CULT committee EU sports policy: assessment and possible ways forward Policy Department for Structural and Cohesion Policies Directorate-General for Internal Policies EN PE 652.251 - June 2021 3 RESEARCH FOR CULT COMMITTEE EU sports policy: assessment and possible ways forward Since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the EU has been entitled to support, coordinate or complement Member States’ activities in sport. European sports policies of the past decade are characterised by numerous activities and by on-going differentiation. Against this backdrop, the study presents policy options in four key areas: the first covers the need for stronger coordination; the second aims at the setting of thematic priorities; the third addresses the reinforcement of the role of the EP in sport and the fourth stipulates enhanced monitoring. This document was requested by the European Parliament's Committee on Culture and Education.
