Fresh off his victory in Bastad last Sunday, Luciano Darderi made a seamless transition on the clay courts of Umag.

The Italian, ranked 46th in the world, faced Carlos Taberner in an attempt to secure his third title of the season and his second in a row. Up against an opponent who had never reached an ATP final before this week, Darderi lived up to his favorite status and won 6-3, 6-3 in just over an hour of play.

By completing the Bastad-Umag double, he will climb eleven spots in the rankings on Monday, reaching a career-high of 35th. With a spot in the Toronto Masters 1000 draw, he will likely make a decision about his participation in the coming hours.

The impact of the war on tennis in Ukraine: financial aid, foundations, governing bodies and all‑round headaches

Adrien Guyot 29/11/2025 à 09h08

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared. While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions. This extends all the way to the highest level, where professional players have spoken out, trying as best they can to help their nation.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
