As Serena Williams joined Roger Federer on 17 Grand Slam titles, renowned tennis writer Paul Newman looks at the impact of coach Patrick Mouratoglou, while the Frenchman himself gives his view on the importance of parents in the development of a player.

We celebrate the career of the inimitable Marion Bartoli, while we also look into why so many 30-somethings are enjoying success on tour this season.

German coach Mats Merkel, who has coached the likes of Andy Murray, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Ana Ivanovic in recent years, joins the tennishead team and in his first column gives his insight into the challenges of the final weeks of the season.

If that’s not all, we have exclusive interviews with Angelique Kerber, Alexandr Dolgopolov and Jarkko Nieminen, while there are plenty of great competitions for you to get your hands on new rackets, Wimbledon memorabilia and tickets to the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.
