Get SMS alerts with every invite and response.
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve rolled out a cool new feature – SMS alerts. You can now get a text message every time someone sends you an invite or responds to you.

You can reply directly to that SMS, without having to log into the site. We’ll deliver it back to the player that sent it to you and also post it online on their account.

No more waiting to get behind a computer, or hope that the other person will check their email today. SMS gets noticed more quickly than email. And for many players, it’s the preferred way to schedule matches.

Here’s what a real life exchange looks like. This is a match that was arranged by the automated Flex League Program:

Seems like it is not their lucky day on this particular afternoon and fate is going away while Williams was beaten with 6-2, 6-2 score competing with Garbine Muguruza of Spain. They expected too much but even if they tried their very hard in the battle “nothing really worked” said Williams. Who would have thought that they will exit very early? Usually they find a way to turn everything on their side however this time they are just human being. For sure their fans are dismayed and all shocked because this is not so Williams! This is the first time that the top two seeded females have defeated prior to third round of a Grand Slam.

Serena owns 17 titles whereas Muguruza is only playing in her 13^th slam match. On top of that Serena got 54-2 for three seasons while Garbine Muguruza got 1-1 only at the French Open. Actually the twenty year old Muguruza idolizes Serena and she stated that she once dreamt of playing against Serena Williams and finally that came true and she was very proud of herself and thought that she did great on their match.

Serena said Garbine Muguruza played smart and I can’t figure out how to get going and serve. At the end of the day, lives goes on and just think that every day is not Christmas so better luck next time Williams.

Twenty seven year old Russian and sixth seed Maria Sharapova improve her record in Stuttgart to 13-0 as she defeated former number one, Ana Ivanovic with a 3-6, 6-4, and 6-1. This is her third consecutive Porsche Grand Prix tennis title. During first half of the game Sharapova thought it’s not her day but as the game goes on, she made a way to turn luck on her. If truth be told, Maria said she had a hard time reading Ana’s mind and her game tactics but in the end, she was able to lost Ivanovic’s focus and accomplished the game.

She said after her shoulder injury she finally found herself and she is back on track with her comeback which made her fans blissful. With different experiences throughout her career, she is proud that she is getting better, exerted efforts and making every tournament special by using different techniques.

Luckily, this is Sharapova’s first victory of the year, thirtieth title of her career and will remain undefeated in Stuttgart. Maria Sharapova is unquestionably happy with her win and she is so glad that she’s able to do that in Germany. It may be a tough year for her but fortunately blessing is coming to her and endlessly pouring. Congratulations Maria!

The ultimate battle will begin again in the tennis court and fans of these top Tennis players – Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are all thrilled to witness the game. Monte Carlo is the place to be as it is the first stop of the European clay-court season and longtime watchtower to Nadal’s Roland Garros fortress and will run in the next two months. But then again on this tournament, Djokovic comes in as the defending titleholder and a three-match winning streak as opposed to Nadal.

We all know that Djokovic has been chasing Federer and Nadal for the victory since 2011 and up to the present, he is the most consistent tennis player. If you remember, Djokovic has won three straights over Rafa and picked up four Masters 1000 titles but undeniably Nadal has his own tactic also to get his hands on the title. A lot of questions have popped up; Will Nadal pick up his ninth title this time? What are Djokovic’s approaches to beat Nadal? Is Djokovic really a threat to Rafael? Can Djokovic maintain the title as Monte Carlo Masters champion? This game is truly a much-awaited event so mark your calendars and let’s all find out what will happen.

Finally it is all set on Thursday in Miami! Serena Williams will have a rematch with Maria Sharapova. This is very challenging for Sharapova as she has not defeated yet the American for almost a decade and now is her chance to prove what she really has. Sharapova knew that Williams is so powerful and plays with so much confidence. She is indeed a big threat for her but there is no reason to stop. Sharapova knew she can beat her and get the victory!

Without a doubt, top seed Williams is confidently aiming for her victory as always and has been winning consecutively. However, after Sharapova’s 14 consecutive lost matches in the rivalry, she gained her big-match confidence after defeating Petra Kvitova with scores, 7-5, 6-1. Williams also said, “I felt much better today than in a few of my other matches here,” “Knowing I was going to play a Top 10 player, I knew I had to come out and play really well tonight. And I did play well.” “When you’re facing a top-10 player, you have to lift your game, that’s what I was able to do.”

Who’s your bet? Will Sharapova win? Or Williams will take home the victory? Mark your calendars!

The aggressive thirty two year old Roger Federer finally reached the final of Dubai Open when he defeated Novak Djokovic with scores 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 on Friday. Djokovic quote ”He deserved to win, he played in the second part of the match better and was more aggressive and played all around the court really well.” At some point in first set of the competition, Djokovic thought that it is his lucky day until Roger Federer started to be more ecstatic and give marvelous shots in addition to coming to the net frequently which Novak could not handle.

The remarkable Roger Federer got the victory in one hour and fifty minutes.The crowd was very happy and it makes Federer to be more aggressive in his performance “For some reason I had a tough start but the crowd kept pushing me on and I played well.It’s a quick court so I am always trying to be aggressive.”  He also added ”For me it was just a matter of playing consistent, but remains aggressive. The match gives Roger Federer confidence and for him everything starts to fall into right places.

Roger Federer will be looking for his sixth Dubai title when he plays third-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic in Saturday’s final.
