I still remember seeing the first ads for film-based Cuddebacks in the late 1990s when the concept of monitoring the game animals in your area was taking off. Those old cameras were relatively crude. They used a white flash […]

According to the ATP, the Rolex Shanghai Masters, China Open (Beijing), Chengdu Open, and Zhuhai Championships will not take place in 2022 due to ongoing restrictions related to COVID-19. ATP tennis was last played in China in 2019.

The ATP has announced six ATP 250 tournaments, issued as single-year event licenses for the 2022 season, due to the changes:

Week 38 (19-25 Sep): San Diego, USA (Hard)
Week 39 (26 Sep-2 Oct): Seoul, KOR (Hard); Tel Aviv, ISR (Indoor Hard)
Week 41 (10-16 Oct): Florence, ITA (Indoor Hard); Gijon, ESP (Indoor Hard)
Week 42 (17-23 Oct): Naples, ITA (Hard)

Additionally, the Astana Open in Nur-Sultan, an ATP 250 event, will this year be staged as an ATP 500 alongside the Rakuten Japan Open in Tokyo. The event in Kazakhstan has become a permanent ATP Tour member this season following two editions as a single-year event in 2020 and 2021, through the transfer and relocation of the St. Petersburg tournament.

Fans of the Williams sisters can double the pleasure at this year’s National Bank Open in Toronto.

Venus Williams will join her sister Serena in the singles draw, after accepting a wild card from the WTA 1000 event.

Venus will start her comeback at the Citi Open in Washington, D.C., which will be held from July 30 to August 7.

She will be making her debut in the nation's capital, and her eleventh appearance in Canada.

“I am excited to be playing the Citi Open for the first time this summer,” said Williams. “I love Washington, DC, and returning to the nation’s capital to play in front of a community that has supported me so strongly feels like a homecoming. I am looking forward to being back on the courts and competing in DC soon.”

The following week Williams will continue her comeback north of the border, in Toronto.

“I’m so excited to be back playing the National Bank Open presented by Rogers, said Williams. “I love the city, the tournament, and I look forward to being back in Toronto.”


The Citi Open will mark Venus’ first singles appearance on the WTA Tour since August of 2021. More recently, she played mixed doubles at Wimbledon with Jamie Murray, where they lost in the second round.

Former World No.1 Williams, 42, does not currently have a ranking.

She went 3-9 in 2021.

Her sister Serena, who lost in the first-round at Wimbledon to Harmony Tan, has also entered the draw via wild card.

The 40-year-old 23-time major singles champion is also entered in the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati, as well as the US Open.
