Barbora Krejcikova produced an enormous performance to beat Elena Rybakina and qualify for the final of this Wimbledon 2024. The Czech herself couldn't believe it after the match. She seemed to be in shock at what she had just achieved, both in terms of her level of tennis and her mental toughness.

Barbora Krejcikova: "It's incredible. It's very hard to explain what I'm feeling right now. A lot of joy, a lot of emotion, a lot of relief too. And I'm just super proud... so proud of my game and my fighting spirit today.

I don't know how I turned it around. I don't know how I did it. I was down 4-0, I was just happy to win my first game. I just tried to fight on every ball.

Then, in the middle of the 2nd set, when I broke her, I felt I'd found my momentum. I started to get 'in the zone' and... I didn't want to leave that zone."

The paradox dividing tennis: exhausted players and a saturated calendar, yet ever more exhibitions

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 a laboratory for tomorrow’s tennis, does the Next Gen Masters have a future?

Jules Hypolite 13/12/2025 à 17h01

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.

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

Adrien Guyot 06/12/2025 à 09h00

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.

The impact of the war on tennis in Ukraine: financial aid, foundations, governing bodies and all‑round headaches

Adrien Guyot 29/11/2025 à 09h08

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.

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.
