Anybody watching the Australian Open in the USA can watch it live on ESPN Deportes Vivo. If you are an Optimum cable subscriber, in the New York area, it’s on channel 227 (next to Tennis Channel on 226).

Front row tickets for the first day of the WTA finals in Riyadh are $22. That’s a good price for 4 matches.

It was nice and sunny about 20 minutes ago at the @DavisCup at Delray Beach, with the doubles being played, and Czechia was ahead in the second set after losing the first set in a tiebreaker. Suddenly the siren went off for lightening and everybody had to evacuate the stadium.

But the match resumed at 6:07 pm, Florida Time. It’s sunny again.

If you watched 15-year old Czech Alena Kovackova win the Wimbledon juniors in 2023, you should keep an eye on her 14-year old sister Jana who won the #JOB23 @veltri_tennis Orange Bowl 14 & Unders in Florida today. Another Czech sister act to watch for in the future!

Anybody else pulling their hair out with this men’s doubles final? Wow, at 40 years old, Zeballos and Granollers are serving for the championship.

Art Seitz, Whose Camera Caught Tennis Greats On and Off the Court, Dies at 82 nytimes.com/2025/09/05/sport… via @NYTimes Thanks to @christophclarey for catching this earlier today in the NYT obits. Art was a character, part of the old guard of ‘70s and ‘80s tennis photographers (more)

Art Seitz, Whose Camera Caught Tennis Greats On and Off the Court, Dies at 82

Over a 50-year career as a photographer he built friendships with rising stars and captured many of them in their personal environments.

It was a smaller, more intimate circle of full-time tennis writers and photographers back then. Art Seitz, Mel DiGiacomo, Michael Cole, Carol Newsom and more. Back when the players could hang out freely on the club terrace, watching matches without getting mobbed by spectators.

Everybody is posting their favorite Cliff Drysdale stories, so I will too. I was covering The South African Davis Cup team in the early 1990s when Cliff was team captain. He was like a father figure, making sure I was safe in the wilds of Africa. A true gentleman.

Replying to @OhioStateMTEN
@OhioStateMTEN , Cash and Tracy can’t run out of steam now… C’mon Ohio Buckeyes, let’s cheer them on! Granollers and Zeballos are the team that is expected to win, but wow, wouldn’t it be an amazing story if…

Hey @usopen! Daytime grounds tickets were free today. Where is everybody? I really was expecting a packed house. I’m betting they’ll file in when 🇺🇸 Cash and Tracy play.

Wow, last I looked, #14 seed Oliver Bonding 🇬🇧 was up 5-3 in the first set of his boys junior quarterfinals, and had served six aces. The next time I looked, Luis Guto Miguel 🇧🇷 won the set in a tiebreaker. Impressive.

And you can put down a $500 deposit for front row seats in Arthur Ashe stadium in 2026. Anybody who bought tickets to the Overlook recently is invited to do so. The full renovation on the new stadium entrance, and inside of Arthur Ashe will be complete in 2028.

Today I attended a preview of the future courtside seating for Arthur Ashe stadium for 2026. The @usta will let the general public buy courtside seats, prime real estate formerly taken up by corporate box holders. The renovation will push the corporate suites up higher.
