No Grand Slam title for Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, for the first time in 22 years

For the first time since 2002, neither Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal nor Novak Djokovic won a Grand Slam tournament this season. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner shared the year's four major titles. The Spaniard won the French Open and Wimbledon, while the Italian won the Australian Open and the US Open.

We are therefore witnessing a real change of tennis era. A change of era barely tempered by the gold medal won by Novak Djokovic at the Paris Olympic Games at the beginning of August.

And while the Serb can still look forward, without sounding unrealistic, to one or more Grand Slam titles next season, he will not be able to halt the inevitable trend that has set in. Even if he can be trusted to put up a fight and try to delay the deadline as long as possible.

Struggles with injuries and lack of money: the double punishment for tennis players far from the Top 100 stars

Clément Gehl 30/11/2025 à 12h25

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.

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.
