Felix Auger-Aliassime is having an interesting 2024 season. After an extremely disappointing 2023, the Canadian is gradually returning to a solid level of play.

However, he is still a long way from regaining the status he enjoyed when he was anchored in the world's top 10.

The target of a number of criticisms, the current world No. 18 was kind enough to address them: "I understand the criticism, to be honest. I don't really have a problem with it. What I don't like is criticism where people don't bring anything concrete to the table, or don't really come up with a solution.

Personally, I don't enjoy criticizing jobs I don't do. I don't try to tell people how to do things if I don't do them. But if I talk to someone else about tennis, because that's probably the thing I'm best at, I can give constructive criticism or advice.

But gratuitous criticism, without really any examples or basis, is not something I'm really a fan of ."

On the tennis front, he is set to kick off his Gstaad tournament this Thursday against Yannick Hanfmann.

The paradox dividing tennis: exhausted players and a saturated calendar, yet ever more exhibitions

Jules Hypolite 06/12/2025 à 17h03

Exhausted but omnipresent stars, ever-longer tournaments and exhibitions that have become a business in their own right: tennis is revealing its deepest contradictions, torn between spectacle and physical survival.

What if tennis lost its soul? The case of robotized officiating, between tradition and a dehumanized modernity

Adrien Guyot 13/12/2025 à 09h00

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

Clément Gehl 30/11/2025 à 12h25

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.

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.

Sinner, Alcaraz, De Minaur, Tsitsipas, Rune - Big changes in the ATP rankings!

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

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.
