Tennis Blog Bibliography

ATP Tennis Official Website

This website is the official site of the professional men's tour. The site gives everything to the rankings of the players to complete head to head records of every player on the tour.

Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Homepage

This site is the homepage to the Women's professional tour. The site is essentially the same as the men's with it's information and aesthetic appeal.

Tennis Magazine's Homepage

This website is basically the mecca for all tennis information. The site has news on the professional game, tips on game improvement, and equipment reviews.

Tennis Warehouse Learning Center

This site basically gives an overview of everything tennis from the equipment side of things. Offers reviews and recommendations as to what every tennis player should be using when he/she steps onto the court.

Tennis X

This is a similar blog site to the blog I wish to create. The person using this site offers insight on the professional game as well as reviews on equipment and tips to take your game to the next level.

The Asian Tennis Blogger


The Asian blogger is an Asian American who follows the professional tennis association. He basically blogs about what's going on with the tour and offers his insights into the current events of the professional game.

Women's Tennis Blog

This tennis blog covers the woman's tour and offers some funny distractions from the serious events of the tour. The blogger doesn't take herself too seriously and tries to add humor to her posts which is something I would like to accomplish as well.

The Tennis Guru

This blog is very similar to the others where it covers the men's professional tour. I do like this one though because on the sidebar he offers the men's and women's top ten rankings along with some other useful information right on the front page.

Tennis Country


This blog is different because it provides real insight into the life of professional players. The blog has players talk about their travels and what it is like to live the life of a professional tennis player outside of the court.

GoToTennis Blog

This blog is actually pretty funny. The author of this site dishes about the relationships and drama that goes on between the professional tennis players.

Peter Bodo's TennisWorld

In Peter's blog he also talks about the relationships of professional tennis players. He also compares old and new tennis players and partakes in debates about which generation of players are better than others.

NY Times Straight Sets Blog

In John Martin's blog he takes tennis stories from the paper and puts his own opinion on them. From the most recent posts it seems like he mostly just covers the tour and the players and coaches involved in it.

Pro Tennis Addict Blog

This is another blog that covers the professional tour but puts an emphasis on specific matches, mostly upsets. I like that this blog shows the recent scores of matches played everyday which I think is key.

Buzzilions.com

This website is a site that gives product reviews. I like this site because I was thinking of reviewing products on my blog and this could be a good stepping stone for that.

Pro Tennis Blog

This blog is just awful and offers me some insight on how not to run my blog. The font is yellow and the pictures just don't really seem to fit the overall theme of the site.

TennisTalk

This blog is actually really cool. There are many different authors contributing to this site who cover all aspects of the game and offer many different insights. This has probably been the most informative site I have read and will probably bookmark it.

Wilson Tennis' Blog


This blog is kind of cool because of the fact that it has Wilsons' own sponsored players blogging about their experiences. Getting the perspectives of actual professional players is cool to read and its an interesting.

The Big Serve Blog

This blog goes over the USTA and gives insight into the surrounding tournaments and how to increase your ranking. It's kind of cool to see a sight devouted to the amateur player.

On The Baseline

This is just a site which posts links to numerous other tennis blogs. All of the blogs linked seem pretty legit and I look forward to visiting most of them.

USTA Official Home Page

This is the official site of the USTA and provides all its members the information they would need to have to join the organization, find tournaments, and learn about the ranking system.
