Roddick Slams 5-Set Idea for WTA Slams

Andy Roddick isn’t holding back on the hot topic of women playing best-of-five at Grand Slams. On his “Served” podcast, the former US Open champ argued that switching formats mid-tournament would mess with the flow and fairness, especially considering factors like women’s periods. Roddick says the change would “completely change the dynamic” and isn’t a true test of the best. Meanwhile, Serena’s husband Alexis Ohanian stirred the pot by suggesting men should play best-of-three instead. Where do you stand on this format rivalry? #Sports #Tennis #TennisDebate

Roddick Rips Masters Schedule Shake-Up

Big news, tennis fans! Andy “A-Rod” Roddick isn’t holding back on his “Served” podcast, calling out the Canadian and Cincinnati Open organizers for stretching tournaments to 12 and 14 days. With heavy hitters like Sinner, King Carlos, and Novak all skipping out, is the longer format really worth it? Even Tsitsipas says the quality’s dropped. Are these changes helping the sport, or just burning out our faves before the US Open? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #Tennis #TennisDebate

Gauff’s ESPY Win: Fair or Fan Favorite?

Coco Gauff just bagged her second straight ESPY for Best Tennis Player, but the tennis world is split. While "Coco" has had a killer year—snagging another Roland Garros title and dominating the WTA Finals—fans are questioning if she really outshined Sabalenka, Sinner, or Alcaraz. Some say the award feels more like "Best American Player" than best overall. What do you think—did Gauff’s star power tip the scales, or did she truly deserve it? #Sports #CocoGauff #TennisDebate

Sinner & Świątek: Champions or Victims?

Big debate on the forum: Are Jannik "The Fox" Sinner and Iga "Queen of Clay" Świątek being unfairly dragged through the mud? After their positive drug tests, legends like Pat Cash and Boris Becker are backing them, saying it was all accidental contamination—not cheating. Both were cleared, but some fans and players (Kyrgios, Djokovic) are still skeptical about favoritism and anti-doping transparency. Where do you stand on this rivalry-fueled controversy? #Sports #Tennis #TennisDebate

Prime Fed vs Sinner: Who Takes It?

John Isner just stirred up the ultimate tennis debate: who wins in a dream matchup—prime Roger Federer or today’s red-hot Jannik Sinner? Isner, who’s faced both legends, gives the edge to Fed, praising his net game and legendary second-serve returns. But he also credits Sinner’s huge improvement under coach Darren Cahill, especially from the baseline. With Sinner dominating the tour and drawing comparisons to the Fedal era, is he ready to eclipse the Maestro? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Tennis #TennisDebate

Roddick Slams Ackman’s Pro Tennis Debut

Did anyone catch Bill Ackman’s pro debut at the Hall of Fame Open? The billionaire teamed up with Jack Sock but looked seriously outmatched against Tomic and Jasika. King Andy Roddick didn’t hold back on his podcast, calling the match “a disaster” and saying it was beneath the Hall of Fame. The tennis world seems to agree—publicity wild cards just don’t sit right when real pros are waiting for a shot. What do you think: should these spots be reserved for those who earn them? #Sports #TennisDebate #HallOfFameOpen

Fritz’s Comeback Halted by Wimbledon Curfew

Can you believe what happened to Taylor Fritz last night? The No. 5 seed was on the verge of an epic comeback against Mpetshi Perricard, rallying from two sets down and winning a wild tiebreak to force a fifth. But just as Fritz had all the momentum, Wimbledon officials suspended the match—40 minutes before curfew! Sure, King Fritz dug himself a hole, but this early stoppage feels like a huge momentum killer. Does Wimbledon’s curfew tradition need a rethink? #Wimbledon #TaylorFritz #TennisDebate #Sports #Tennis

Draper’s Smash Sparks Umpire Debate

Did the umpire go too easy on Jack Draper after his wild racket smash at Queen’s? The British No. 1, aka the “Draper Express,” lost his cool after Lehečka broke him late in the third, wrecking the ad board and drawing just a code violation. Fans are split—some say he should’ve been defaulted for property damage, others think emotions run high in big matches. What’s your take: double standard or just part of the game? #QueensClub #JackDraper #TennisDebate #Sports #Tennis

Djoker Opens Up: Never the Fan Favorite?

Wow, Novak just got real after his French Open loss to Sinner. The Djoker admitted he’s always felt like the 'unwanted child' compared to Fed and Rafa, even after all those Slams and records. He says fans never warmed up to him the way they did to the Maestro or the King of Clay, and that stung. With his 100th ATP title in the bag, Novak’s still chasing that elusive 25th major—do you think the crowd will ever truly embrace him? #Djokovic #BigThree #TennisDebate #Sports #Tennis
