About
Welcome to Tenaciously Tennis, a blog dedicated to following the ATP and WTA tours along with capturing the tenacity of the sport through reporting, analysis, and commentary.

The Blog’s Inspiration by Definition:
ten-nis, n. a game played on a rectangular court by two players or two pairs of players equipped with rackets, in which a ball is driven back and forth over a low net that divides the court in half.
te-na-cious, adj. 1. holding fast; characterized by keeping a firm hold. 2. highly retentive. 3. pertinacious, persistent, stubborn, or obstinate.
You get the idea.
