Swiatek Iga

Iga Swiatek's coach, Wim Fissette, spoke about his player's 2025 season, in comments reported by The Tennis Gazette.

For him, the success comes in particular from this first title at Wimbledon: "Well, first of all, 2025 will remain a historic year for Iga. Her victory at Wimbledon, to everyone's surprise, and the way she achieved it.

"A fantastic year"

It's something we will look back on in 10, 20, 30 years. It was simply incredible. Just for that performance, 2025 was a fantastic year.

One of my goals at the beginning was to play better on fast surfaces and to be more comfortable. It's a goal we have clearly achieved.

You saw the result in Cincinnati as well, and it's something Iga will remember in the years to come.

"Continue this momentum in 2026"

She can tell herself: 'No matter the surface, whether it's slow or fast, I am in contention for the title. I know I am capable. I need to make a few adjustments, but I can do it.'

I think we went through several phases this year where I noticed, in the middle of the year, and it was before Wimbledon, a clear change in mindset. So I think we made a positive mental shift. We of course hope to continue this momentum in 2026."

Equal prize money: tennis faces an endless debate

Clément Gehl 19/12/2025 à 09h30

Behind the podium smiles, a divide persists: that of prize money. Between sporting fairness, television audiences, and economic weight, tennis is still searching for the right formula — but parity remains a match without a winner.

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.
