So I’m this huge tennis fan, right? Been following Alexander Weiss since he smashed that crazy upset last year. Woke up today dying to know when he plays next, but guess what – couldn’t find squat on regular sports apps. Total dead end. Figured I’d gotta hunt this down myself.
The Wild Goose Chase Begins
First thing, I grabbed my phone and went straight to that big tennis app everyone uses. Typed his name in… crickets. Nada. Just old match stats from like six months ago. Even tried spelling his name three different ways because maybe those algorithms are dumb. Nothing. Then I remembered that one tennis forum where hardcore fans hang out. Scrolled through pages of rants about racket brands until I spotted a thread called “Weiss Sightings.” Jackpot!

Three places people claimed he’d play next:
- Some tiny clay court tournament in Portugal
- An exhibition match in Dubai next month
- Qualifiers for that ATP 500 event everyone talks about
But here’s the kicker – half these comments were from dudes arguing about beer sponsorships. Total mess. Spent two hours digging through tennis federation websites (which look straight outta 2005), clicking tournament schedules until my eyes crossed. Found three PDFs with microscopic font – seriously needed zoom just to read the dates. Finally spotted “A. Weiss” buried in some qualifying round draw in Portugal. Bingo!
The Broadcast Headache
Now came the annoying part – actually watching it. See, small tournaments don’t stream on big services. Asked my tennis buddy Dave – he mumbled something about shady streaming sites. Yeah, no thanks. Ended up crawling through weird regional sports channels. Had to sign up for some broadcaster’s newsletter just to find their streaming page. Then nearly got fooled by a fake “Watch Tennis Here!” ad with way too many exclamation marks.
Finally got it working by sheer stubbornness. Pro tip: typing “official broadcaster” plus the tournament name actually helps. Who knew? Set phone reminders for all his potential matches like a lunatic. Feeling kinda proud – took half my Sunday but now I won’t miss him crushing backhands.
