Coach Conchita Martinez believes Mirra Andreeva has sky-high potential but reveals that she is constantly telling the 17-year-old that she must remain firmly with both feet on the ground and not get herself caught into thinking that she must win a Grand Slam as soon as possible.  Over the past month, the Russian has been…

Daniil Medvedev has shown some signs of recovery in recent weeks, but he is still far from his standards and no longer makes a difference at the decisive moments of tournaments.

Everyone knows that Novak Djokovic’s career is very close to its end, despite the fact that the Serbian legend has repeated several times that he is not thinking about retiring and that he dreams of also participating in the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028 (when he will be 41 years old). The former world number…

Jack Draper claims he first asked Carlos Alcaraz if he was impacted by Mohamed Lahyani’s call before asking for a second video review because he did not want to be called “a cheat” like was the case during last year’s Cincinnati Masters. After the Briton returned the ball that was called to be a double…

Nick Kyrgios appears to have recovered for the Miami Masters as the 29-year-old took to X to see if anyone is interested in being his doubles partner at the upcoming tournament. If the Australian tennis star plays in Miami this year, that will be his first appearance at the tournament since losing to Jannik Sinner…

Carlos Alcaraz didn’t want to put any blame on a VAR check for his Indian Wells Masters semifinal exit as the No. 2 seed said it was a normal procedure and there was nothing to complain about.  With the Spaniard and Jack Draper tied at 1-1, 15/15, in the third set, chair umpire Mohamed Lahyani…

Iga Swiatek lamented the windy conditions in Indian Wells following her semifinal exit but also admitted that Mirra Andreeva “played better and braver” and therefore deserved to end on the winning side.  After collecting her second title in the desert last year and also starting her run at this year’s tournament edition with four convincing…

Mirra Andreeva showed her respect for Aryna Sabalenka by acknowledging the Belarusian’s dominance in their matchups but also noted that she would be out for revenge when they clash in the Indian Wells final. On the semifinal day in the desert, the Russian teenage sensation beat Iga Swiatek 7-6 (1) 1-6 6-3 while the top-seeded…

Carlos Alcaraz will not chase his third consecutive Indian Wells crown. World no. 3 faced Jack Draper in the semi-final in the desert and experienced a 6-1, 0-6, 6-4 defeat in an hour and 44 minutes.

Dinara Safina didn’t mince words when asked about the claims that her back injury was caused by “overtraining,” ripping that notion as “stupid.” Just a month after celebrating her 22nd birthday, the Russian made her maiden Grand Slam final at the 2008 French Open. In the next 12 months, she went on to make two…

Mirra Andreeva credited a sudden surge of confidence in the first-set tie-break and playing confidently in the third set as one of the big reasons behind her Indian Wells victory against Iga Swiatek.  On Friday, the 17-year-old registered her 11th consecutive win after overcoming the Polish defending champion 7-6 (1) 1-6 6-3.  When it mattered…

It would be one of the most incredible surprises in tennis history if Alexander Zverev ended his career without having won a single Grand Slam title. No one wants to consider this possibility for the moment, but there is no doubt that the German ace must find further solutions if he wants to finally break…

Jack Draper has undoubtedly been one of the most consistent players in this start of the season, although his preparation during the winter has been conditioned by some physical problems.  The British ace has made some truly remarkable progresses in recent months and the semi-final he reached at the 2024 US Open has allowed him…

Jannik Sinner had the strength to believe in his growth path and never gave up when the results were below his expectations. The Italian ace took some time to sort out all aspects of his game and body, but then he became a machine and his level was unattainable for almost all opponents in the…

Novak Djokovic has often exceeded his limits during his long career, remaining competitive even when he was no longer in his ‘prime’ and having the strength to challenge opponents much younger than him. The Serbian legend was the go-to player on the men’s tour until the end of 2023, a sensational season in which he…
