Tennis News - Barcelona and More!
“This Week’s Drop Shots” details the latest results, hot takes, and breaking news from around the tennis world in a quick and easy-to-read format.
Hey tennis fans! We’ve got another week of action from the tennis world to catch up on. Let’s get into it:
Results from Barcelona - ATP
Since we’re on the clay (and in Spain), it’s only natural that we talk about Rafa. Nadal avoided 2 upset scares with a 3-set win over Ivashka yesterday, and a 3-set win over Nishikori today. Should we be worried, or is this the classic conversation before another dominant Roland Garros from the King of Clay? Only time will tell…
Tsitsipas has continued his strong form on the clay with a fairly straightforward win over De Minuar, while Rublev avoided an upset by taking out Ramos-Viñolas in 3 sets this morning.
And of course, we have to mention Fognini getting disqualified from yesterday’s match for alleged verbal abuse. Get the full scoop on the incident here!
Exciting News - Damian joins the CR team!
Damian Kust (@LWOSdamiankust) will be joining the company as Staff Writer and Podcast Host covering the biggest results, storylines, and trends across the professional tennis world.
A 22 year-old from Poland, Damian falls for any player with either a one-handed backhand or exceptional volleying skills. He’s madly in love with the ATP Challenger Tour, and allegedly got into a bar fight after hearing someone refer to it as the Tennis Minor Leagues.
“Our Cracked Racquets team always strives to provide a platform to those enthusiastic about our beloved sport, and few, if any, can match Damian’s passion for the game.” commented Cracked Racquets Editor-in-Chief Alex Gruskin. “Most importantly, Damian’s embracing of all levels of tennis, and desire to engage with and enhance the conversations happening within the tennis community, fully align with the way our team tries to embrace the sport. We cannot wait to share more of Damian’s work with our broader Cracked Racquets family.”
