Lists.Published .
Witness how some of tennis’ most exciting athletes have been prepping for the 135th US Open Tournament and track their off-court progress throughout the Grand Slam.
Bob and his twin brother Mike have been the world’s number-1 doubles players for over 380 weeks, and he’s netted 23 Grand Slams wins, but his feed is that of a super-devoted dad who plays the drums.
Only 16, the San Francisco native is one of the United States’ hottest up and comers. When she’s not swinging between junior and senior-level events, she’s posting colorful photos of family vacations and her BFFs. WTA Ranking #161.
The 22-year old Nebraska native has a love for getting aggressive at the net, an epic right-hand serve, and making Instagram collages. ATP Ranking #28.
The 20-year-old from Illinois has been a pro since 2009. When she isn’t being coached by tennis great Lindsay Davenport, she’s taking snaps of Jason Wu dresses, group dinners and her adorable dog. WTA Ranking #19.
Big smiles and action shots as energetic as her game—the Floridian recently smashed a racket out of frustration (and in response, rival/frenemy Serena tweeted an “inspired” shout out “#newgoals”). WTA Ranking #29.
