Alexei Popyrin had surprised everyone by winning the 2024 Canada Masters 1000. Unfortunately for him, apart from his victory against Novak Djokovic at the US Open shortly after, he has not been able to confirm this performance.

The Australian has only won two matches in 2025 and was once again eliminated in the first round in Miami against Roman Safiullin.

Last week, he announced his split with Xavier Malisse, who had been his coach since September 2022.

To replace him, Popyrin has hired Wayne Ferreira, a former coach of players like Jack Draper and Marin Cilic.

It remains to be seen whether this new collaboration will help the Australian get back on track or not.

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.
