Tennis development within China isn't just struggling... it's gasping for air. Since Li Na's reign in the early 2010's, China has been unable to consistently produce successful tennis professionals despite massive infrastructure investments, recruitment of foreign coaching experts, and nationwide enthusiasm for the sport. For a country who's population exceeds 1.4 billion, what major issues hinder them from dominating a sport ruled by much smaller countries? With nationwide success seemingly at their fingertips, why is the Chinese professional tennis system... broken?

For the Belgian racquet company Donnay, brand image was everything – one that they established by equipping the biggest stars of the sport’s golden age. Once the world’s largest manufacturer of tennis racquets, the abrupt exit of their former poster boy sponsor, Swedish star Bjorn Borg, led to their eventual bankruptcy and what seemed an almost certain demise.
By the late 80's however, Donnay's costly acquisition of rising superstar Andre Agassi seemed a surefire way to revitalize the brand... instead, the gamble proved to be one of tennis history's greatest misfires.

Only legally playable for mere months, the Spaghetti Tennis Racket allowed amateurs and virtual nobodies to beat top ranked players at the world’s biggest tournaments. As word spread of this racket system’s supposed magical capabilities backed by real results, behind the scenes were those determined to stamp the racket out before it truly took off, a controversy who’s ramifications potentially changed the entire future landscape of tennis.

But flash-forward six years, and despite some impressive streaks, his career has been far from the success story that many had initially predicted.

Professional tennis players… have been cheating. Openly, and on a regular basis. Out of desperation, the ATP, WTA, and the Four Grand Slams have recently enacted landmark rule changes that have legalized these violations , but in doing so, may have opened the door to a host of other potentially serious logistical and ethical issues posed by removing the final barrier that separated not just player from coach, but tennis itself from its famed reputation as the last remaining gladiator-esqe major sport.

On November 2, 2021, tennis star Peng Shuai posted an an alarming message to her social media followers, in which she disclosed how she had been subject to mistreatment by at the hands of a former top level member of the China Ruling Party.
Since that day, Peng Shuai all but disappeared from public view, with no comment or explanation from China regarding her apparent forced absence despite international calls from world leaders and organizations demanding independent and verifiable proof of her safety. An ongoing crisis that continues to this day, today we’re taking a step back to examine the entire timeline of this bizarre case from accusation to present day.

It started as a joke. It ended up redefining Roger Federer's entire career.
Initially hated by many with multiples more left bewildered, the rarely before seen blitz marked the culmination of Federer’s years of experience and experimentation in crafting a move which may have contributed to one of the best late-career athletic comebacks of all time. But while extremely flashy and undoubtedly impressive when executed, do the statistics actually validate SABR’s usefulness in a professional level match? How effective really was it?

Juan Martín del Potro’s future success and stardom seemed all but guaranteed... until it wasn't.
Joining a list of many former champions who never won more than a single major title; del Potro has suffered an overall up-and-down, injury-hampered, and generally unlucky career that turned his once-promising athletic life into a ticking time bomb.
Today at the age of just 34, del Potro has not only had to face the prospect of never returning to the court again, but also family tragedy, near-bankruptcy, and an identity crisis caused by the gaping void that tennis had left in his daily existence.

Multi-colored courts, record breaking salaries, world class talent, and... empty stands.
World Team Tennis is the world's most sensational tennis competition that no one seems to care about. Made specifically with an American audience in mind, WTT is a co-ed tennis league that pits franchises from across the country against each other in exuberant crowd environments, turning tennis into something more akin to America's most popular sports like baseball and basketball. Despite featuring world's best tennis talent, WTT has consistently faced frequent financial collapses and languished in relative obscurity ever since its founding.
How did WTT tennis begin, and why has it failed at becoming the industry game changer it set out to be?

For upwards of two decades, Roger Federer had worn nothing but Nike clothing in a brand deal that had made the Swiss Star one of the richest athletes in the world. That all changed in 2018 when Federer played that year’s first round match at Wimbledon… wearing UNIQLO, a Japanese casual wear brand. While shocking at first, in retrospect has been seen as one of the most calculated and smartest business decisions ever undertaken by a single professional tennis player, the first step in a series of pivotal decisions that would in turn double his total career earnings past 1 billion dollars just three years later.
