About Ben Rothenberg
Welcome to Bounces!
This is the new home of Ben Rothenberg’s writing, reporting, insights and opinions on the never-dull world of professional tennis, continuing his work that you have likely read at The New York Times, Slate, or even just on Twitter.
Bounces began in October 2024 and has been going strong ever since, including on-site coverage of major tennis tournaments, exclusive interviews, features, and more. Thousands of tennis fans and supporters of independent journalism have already subscribed, at both paid and free levels, and I am super grateful for their support.
Thanks to that support, there has already been a broad range of reporting on Bounces in its first year, both serious and fun stuff. There’s been investigations of paid seat fillers at a tournament in Saudi Arabia, breakdowns of complex anti-doping cases, and interviews with figures ranging from Iga Swiatek’s coaching team to Carlos Alcaraz’s barber.
