Roger Federer and Martina Hingis are expected to play mixed doubles at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

“I wrote a message to [Hingis] after her loss on Saturday to tell her that I was proud of what she did and I was inspired too,” Bacsinszky said of Hingis’ effort that came just shy of a singles win, 17 years after she played her last Fed Cup singles. “I told her she needs to be proud of herself.

Juan Martin Del Potro opened his summer hardcourt season Thursday with two wins.

Rafael Nadal wearing a half-million dollar watch while he plays is like — we can’t even think of a bad analogy. Rafa you need to re-take your personality, change that BAD Nike outfit and go back to the sleeveless, and generally be Rafa again instead of whatever marketing machine they’re trying to mold you into…

Martina Hingis announced that she’s engaged.
