Defeated in the semifinals of the Rome Masters 1000 by Carlos Alcaraz, Lorenzo Musetti will arrive at Roland-Garros full of confidence and positioned as one of the dark horses behind favorites Sinner and Alcaraz.

The world No. 9 answered several questions during a press conference, including one addressing Alexander Zverev’s remarks two days earlier after their quarterfinal match.

"I think he always plays the same way on clay. He relies heavily on his defensive game and his opponents' mistakes," the German had said.

Musetti’s response was brief: "Zverev thinks I’m too passive? He does the same thing. We’ve played on other surfaces, and the outcome was the same.

Training future champions: spotlight on the decline of the French public model facing private academies
Training future champions: spotlight on the decline of the French public model facing private academies

As federations struggle to reinvent themselves, private academies are capturing talent… but also families able to invest tens of thousands of euros a year. A system that is increasingly effective, but also increasingly unequal.

Conceived as a bold bet to prepare for the post–Big 3 era, the Next Gen Masters has shaken up the codes of modern tennis. A pioneering, visionary tournament, but now in search of an identity.

From controversial reform to fiery statements, the Davis Cup continues to divide. Between nostalgia for the old formats and unwavering love for the jersey, players share their truths about a competition that, despite everything, still makes hearts race.

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.
