  • The Best Mexican Couple Surpassed the Best Couple in History at Plaza Mexico
    The Best Mexican Couple Surpassed the Best Couple in History at Plaza Mexico Mexico City, November 23, 2019 - Mexico won the doubles match against the United States, in a match that opened the square for the exhibition of The Greatest Match, with a brilliant performance by Santiago Gonzalez and Miguel Ángel Reyes Varela, against the historic pair of twins, Mike and Bob Bryan. The match was celebrated with a great entry of people, who came in early to fill the stands, and began with the dominance of the Davis Cup Mexican couple, who managed to break Mike Bryan's serve once in the third game of the match, winning it by 6-3. The American brothers did not want to say goodbye to the show so soon and dominated the second set, breaking Reyes-Varela serve and sending the encounter to a final super tie break, with a partial 4-6. The most spectacular moment of the day was experienced during this second set, with a rally in which all four players participated and which was defined in favor of the Mexicans, with a crossed volley by Santiago Gonzalez. The duel ended unexpectedly, when the Mexican couple took a 9-0 advantage in the tiebreaker, which ended with a partial 10-2. The audience roared a spectacular ovation for Santy and Micky from the stands, who won a cash prize of $20,000, but, above all, the people’s recognition on a day that will be marked in history. “It was an incredible experience. We had a great time on the court.

  • 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.
