Daniil Medvedev overcame a spirited Mikael Ymer 6-4, 6-4 Thursday at the Davis Cup Finals to clinch the Russian Tennis Federations victory against Sweden and book its spot in the semi-finals in Madrid. The 25-year-old was made to work hard against Ymer, who broke Medvedevs serve three times. However, the World No. 2 produced flashes of brilliance, firing 14 winners to triumph after 72 minutes. Medvedev has now won all six sets he has played at the Davis Cup Finals this year. I should have served better but I am really happy to bring the point to the team, Medvedev said in his on-court interview. Madrid feels like home, we are winning a lot of matches, we beat Spain the other day. It was a great boost of confidence to beat the home favourites. Earlier, Andrey Rublev survived a scare, edging Elias Ymer 6-2, 5-7, 7-6(3) in two hours and 13 minutes to give the Russian Tennis Federation...

Andrea Gaudenzi, ATP Chairman: The situation involving Peng Shuai continues to raise serious concerns within and beyond our sport. The response to those concerns has so far fallen short. We again urge for a line of open direct communication between the player and the WTA in order to establish a clearer picture of her situation. We know that sport can have a positive influence on society and generally believe that having a global presence gives us the best chance of creating opportunity and making an impact. We will continue to consult with our members and monitor any developments as this issue evolves. ...

Novak Djokovic did double duty on Wednesday in Madrid to lead Serbia into the semi-finals of the Davis Cup Finals. Djokovic defeated Alexander Bublik 6-3, 6-4 in singles and quickly returned to the court to partner Nikola Cacic to a 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 victory against Andrey Golubev and Aleksandr Nedovyesov, giving Serbia a 2-1 victory against Kazakhstan. Im proudest of the fighting spirit. We had a little drop energetically in the second set, but we managed to bounce back. The start of the third set was crucial the first couple of games to hold our nerves, try to switch the momentum to our side and thats what we managed, Djokovic said in his on-court interview. Im proud of Nikola, proud of this team and I think we deserve to be in the semi-finals.

During the 2021 season, Filip Krajinovic earned his 100th tour-level win in Indian Wells and reached his fourth ATP Tour final in Hamburg. Off court, the Serbian has stories to tell, from meeting his idol Pete Sampras to his struggles in the kitchen. In the latest installment of our popular series, Krajinovic reveals the last time... I missed a flight I cancelled a flight last minute in June because Novak [Djokovic] called me to tell me he was going to do something to celebrate his Roland Garros victory. I was meant to go to Montenegro and then at the last minute I just cancelled and went to see him. I am always last minute, but to miss a flight, I don’t think I have. I lost something important I lose my wallet so much. I am quite good on that also, though. I don’t think I have ever lost something very important. I have lost the keys to my car, but they can be easily...

Fans will remember this year’s Roland Garros final — in which Novak Djokovic rallied past Stefanos Tsitsipas in five sets — for years to come. Getty Images photographer Julian Finney was there to document it, with one of his images from the match recently being named one of TIME’s Top 100 Photos of 2021. Finney captured Tsitsipas sliding into a backhand slice on Court Philippe Chatrier, with a pocket of light shining perfectly on the Greek as if he were under a spotlight. According to the photographer, the moment came “out of nowhere”. “The usual nice light us photographers love had gone from the court as the sun was beginning to go down behind the stadium. Without a fifth set this picture wouldnt have been possible,” Finney said. “I was aware of new pockets of light formed by the new centre court construction, but what occurred at...
