Unsurprisingly, Rafael Nadal has just announced that he won't be playing the US Open this year.

While speculation about his possible retirement continues to rage since his elimination, Nadal made his withdrawal official in New York on social networks.

The Majorcan declared: "Hello everyone, I'm writing today to let you know that I've decided not to take part in this year's US Open, a place where I have incredible memories.

I'll miss those electric and special night sessions in New York, but I don't think I'll be able to give my 100% this time around.

Thanks to all my American fans in particular, I'll miss you all and we'll see you another time.

Good luck to you all for the always incredible US Open! My next event will be the Laver Cup in Berlin."

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

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.

Gauff quips: "So I've managed to achieve both my goals".

Nadal as indecisive and evasive as ever about his future

Guillaume Nonque 01/08/2024 à 10h20

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.

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.
