The year 2024 was marked by the doping cases involving two of the biggest names in tennis today: Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek.

Following the positive tests of the two players, which turned out to be contaminations, reactions were obviously numerous.

For Tennis Actu, Guy Forget, former world No. 4, had this to say on the subject: "We have to fight these scourges with the utmost firmness. I always get the impression that there's a high degree of sophistication in testing.

You can find a sugar spoon in an Olympic swimming pool. There are so many players who can take polluted elements and unknowingly lead to positive tests.

It's an absolute tragedy for those who are innocent.

You can say to yourself 'I'm going to be prevented from living my passion'. That's how I see it for Halep, Swiatek and Sinner.

The problem is that there can't be two-tier rules. You can't suspend one player for a year and the other for three weeks."

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.

Is padel threatening tennis? Inside the revolution shaking up the established order

Born almost by accident in an Acapulco garden, padel has in fifty years become a global phenomenon that both fascinates and worries tennis. Its meteoric rise is already reshaping the landscape of racket sports.

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.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

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.
