Carlos Alcaraz was present at the press conference after his relatively easy victory over Yoshihito Nishioka 6-0, 6-1, 6-4.

The Spaniard was asked about the performance of Joao Fonseca, who beat Rublev in three sets on Tuesday in his first Grand Slam match.

Alcaraz replied: "I watched a bit, yes. I couldn't see the whole match, but I saw the beginning and the end. What can I say? Simply incredible.

The way he played his first Grand Slam match against a top-10 player was impressive. The way he approached the match, the way he handled everything, the way he kept his nerves under control, it was fantastic.

He's someone I have to be careful with. I've got to keep an eye on him. He'll be there.

It's only the beginning of the year, he's only got one Grand Slam win, but he'll be there.

Let's put Joao Fonseca's name on the list of the world's best players very soon."

Between total disconnection and intensive work, the offseason is a crucial period for preparing for a long season on tour.

From Boris Becker to Yannick Noah via Marat Safin, they all share one thing in common: knowing how to bounce back after the end of their careers. Between coaching, politics, music and podcasts, discover how these former champions have turned their passion into a new life.
What if tennis lost its soul? The case of robotized officiating, between tradition and a dehumanized modernity

Omnipresent cameras, line judges on the verge of extinction, mistakes that persist nonetheless: technology fascinates as much as it divides. Tennis, at a crossroads, is still searching for its balance between progress and emotion.
Struggles with injuries and lack of money: the double punishment for tennis players far from the Top 100 stars

A tennis player's income depends solely on his sporting results. In the event of injury, the daily life of those far from the Top 100 can become extremely complicated.

I love tennis

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

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.
