Weekend Tennis Roundup


Congrats to France for winning its 10th Davis Cup over the weekend!


Lucas Pouille was the hero of the day for winning the fifth and deciding match ...


Still, it was hard not to feel bad for David Goffin, who went 6-0 in singles this DC season -- including two in the final against France -- right after beating Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in London only to come home empty-handed both times.


The Belgian team ...


Even after sleeping on it for a week, the year-end Top 10 still isn't sitting well with me. (Kudos to Juan Martin del Potro for still NOT cracking it even with half the elite players sidelined!) 


On the women's side, No.1 seed Zhang Shuai of China roared back from a first-set demolition to outlast South Korea's Jang Su Jeong, 0-6, 6-2, 6-3, and win the Hawaii Open, one year after finishing as the runner-up at the WTA 125K Series tournament.


Meanwhile in Mumbai, Belarusian teenager Aryna Sabalenka claimed the biggest title of her career on Sunday with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Slovenia's Dalila Jakupovic in the final of the L&T Mumbai Open, a WTA 125K Series event.

Off the court ...


Jan-Michael Gambill and his Instagram-official boyfriend, Malek Alqadi, got some shirtless R&R in Jamaica ...


while exhibitionist Robert Farah proved he's just as hot in a suit and tie ...



And Billie Jean King and Ilana Kloss spent the night with The Boss ...
