Roberto Bautista Agut is reborn this week on the grass of Queen’s. The Spanish veteran, who had already taken down Jakub Mensik the day before, delivered another high-level performance to eliminate world No. 9 Holger Rune in the quarterfinals.

Bautista Agut was impeccable on serve, not conceding a single break point, while also capitalizing on his opponent’s 62 unforced errors. After 2 hours and 26 minutes of play and a hard-fought battle, he triumphed with a score of 7-6, 6-7, 6-2.

He has now become the third-oldest player to reach the semifinals at Queen’s, where his compatriot Carlos Alcaraz awaits. This also marks his first semifinal on the main tour since his title win in Antwerp last year.

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.

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.
