I still have the shorts from 2015," says Wawrinka on the 10th anniversary of his Roland-Garros title

Roland-Garros will celebrate the ten-year anniversary of Wawrinka's victory at Porte d'Auteuil. The Swiss player triumphed against Djokovic in the final, joining the select group of players who have lifted the trophy in the 21st century. Since 2005, only five players have etched their names on the Coupe des Mousquetaires (Nadal, Federer, Djokovic, Wawrinka, Alcaraz).

In a press conference, the 38-year-old player, who will face Fearnley in the first round, spoke about this symbolic date and acknowledged keeping some memories:

"I am often reminded of it. But I'm not someone who dwells too much on the past, especially while still being active, I have to live in the present. Of course, I know it's been ten years, so it's normal. As for the shorts, yes, I still have them, I kept them carefully (smile)."

Indeed, the player wore an atypical pair of shorts, which became legendary following his victory. At the time, he jokingly said:

"It's the all-in-one. I go swimming, I go to tennis, and then I sleep in them.

Of course you still have the same shots. When you're game is on and you have your legs that day and get in position to hit the ball. OK, not nearly as consistently as in 2015 and 2016. Father time spares no one. (Though scientist are currently working on that.)

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.

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.

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.

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.
