Fenwick Elite Series Spinning and Casting Rod Review
When I was growing up, I would voraciously read every and any fishing gear catalog that came my way, and do it over and over. One name that continually came up was the brand Fenwick. A lot has changed since those bygone days of the mail-order catalog, but one thing that has remained a constant: […]

4 of the Best Fisheries in the U.S. for Anglers Without a Boat
Anglers come in a wide variety, and very few fish the exact same way. You do see fishermen and women divided into vague groups, however. You have species-specific groups, such as bass fishermen, crappie fishermen, or walleye fishermen. You have devoted tackle lovers, such as crankbait fishermen, finesse fishermen, or live bait anglers. But one […]

Medvedev Back On Track In Astana
Daniil Medvedev showed no ill effects on Tuesday from his opening-round loss in Metz. The second seed bounced back with a 6-3, 6-1 win against Albert Ramos-Vinolas in the first round of the Astana Open.
“The court is pretty slow. Albert is kind of a slow player [tactically], he likes to put the ball in the court. I felt like I didn’t need to force myself to play faster because that could make me miss,” Medvedev said in his on-court interview. “I was a little bit less confident than in my best tournaments, so I knew that I had to start slow and try to get into the rhythm. Finally, great match. Hopefully I can raise my level in the next ones.”
[ATP APP]
The 26-year-old made a nearly flawless debut at the Kazakhstani ATP 500, ousting the former Top 20 player in 79 minutes. Medvedev saved the only break point he faced in the match and won 48 per cent of his return points.
In a clash that featured many lengthy rallies, Medvedev showed great patience to frustrate the Spanish lefty. Ramos-Vinolas even tried to come into the net often to take the second seed out of his comfort zone, but the World No. 4 was undeterred.
Medvedev remained consistent throughout and used a number of drop shots to successfully change the rhythm of points. That helped him break Ramos-Vinolas’ serve four times and set a second-round encounter with Sofia champion Marc-Andrea Huesler or Finland’s Emil Ruusuvuori.
The 2020 Nitto ATP Finals champion is also next in line to qualify for the season finale, currently fifth in the Pepperstone ATP Live Race To Turin. Medvedev is trying to earn his place in the year-end championships for the fourth consecutive year. Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas have already qualified for the event, which will be held at the Pala Alpitour from 13-20 November.

History for Rajeev Ram, who Becomes Doubles No.1
The American, who retired from singles in 2017, had been number two in the rankings for much of the year. By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Tuesday, October 4 2022
American Rajeev Ram, a three-time major doubles champion, has become the oldest first-time No.1 in ATP history.
The 38-year-old leapfrogged his partner, Joe Salisbury, on Monday October 3rd to notch the historical milestone.
Proud to be part of this club 💪🏾
Thank you everyone for your support! #WorldNumberOne📸 @CincyTennis
📸 @usopen pic.twitter.com/vun9tAgjGD— Rajeev Ram (@RajeevRam) October 3, 2022
Ram, fresh off winning the US Open title with Salisbury, passes Bob Hewitt, the previous-oldest first-time World No.1, who was 36 in 1976.
“I certainly appreciate that now because I feel like it shows the fact that you can wait long. As long as you’re resilient [and] persistent, things can happen, even much later,” Ram told Andrew Eichenholz of the ATP. “Everyone is on their own path and maybe it’s even a little bit sweeter if it takes a little bit longer.”
Ram is the 57th doubles player to hold the ATP’s No.1 ranking, and the 18th from the United States. He retired from singles in 2017, was a former World No.56. He has been on the rise as a doubles player ever since.
He has qualified for the prestigious ATP Finals on five occasions. Claimed 25 titles on tour, and won 397 doubles matches.

Kyrgios, currently ranked 20th is in action this week at the Rakuten Open in Tokyo.
“There’s only so much I can control and I’m taking all the steps and dealing with that off the court,” Kyrgios said. “I can only do what I can and I’m here in Tokyo and just trying to play some good tennis, continue that momentum and just try to do my job – and that’s play tennis, play it well. That’s it.”
