As first appeared in Boxscore By Aron Solomon Canadian tennis great Milos Raonic tweeted on Monday, what I’ve been thinking since news first broke about the Saudi sovereign investment fund’s potential investment into women’s tennis:It is clear that the only reason the WTA decided yesterday that their Tour Final would not head to Saudi Arabia this year is because the Saudis are looking for something bigger. As I have written and spoken about at length, Saudi Arabia wants tennis to be part of their sportbleaching, which is next-level sportwashing. It makes no sense at all for the Saudis to invest in a piece…

As first appeared in Boxscore By Aron Solomon Hans Deng is a very, very good tennis player, but you’ve almost certainly never heard of him before today. Such is life on the International Tennis Federation (ITF) junior tennis tour.

On Saturday in Montréal, Hans lost 6-7, 4-6 in the first round of qualifying in the J200 tournament, an annual fixture at the national tennis center in…

As first appeared in Boxscore By Aron Solomon I knew it was coming. I told all y’all again and again and you didn’t listen. Let’s summarize before we dive into details: The WTA is not getting a program like ATP’s Baseline. WTA prize money is an abysmal joke as compared with the money is men’s tennis.

This is ridiculous and entirely unconscionable. There is one viable option here: The…
