The wind… The culprit? The player’s golf bag. This is a situation that may be unprecedented at this level… In any…

Stefanos Tsitsipas’ season cannot be considered satisfactory. The Greek champion won his third title in Monte Carlo, showing that he has a very special feeling with this tournament, but he did not make the step forward that was expected from a player with his talent.

After Rafa’s defeat in…

For those wondering about the…
