During the offseason, Hubert Hurkacz decided to bring Ivan Lendl, as well as Nicolas Massu, former coach of Dominic Thiem, into his team.

His compatriot Jerzy Janowicz spoke on the matter, expressing skepticism about Massu's arrival: "Ivan Lendl is a very good move. But for Nicolas Massu, I think it's one of the worst possible ideas.

Looking at his way of playing, his technique, and his tactics, it doesn't suit Hubert at all. He needs someone who can teach him to be offensive in a consistent way.

And someone who can make him comfortable with that style of play, so he no longer feels afraid.

Because if there's something Hubert doesn't execute well and doesn't want to do, it's being offensive. And he really needs it.

He can do it, but I don't understand why it's so hard for him to transition from a game based on counters and defense to a more aggressive style."

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.

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.

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.

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.
