500 aces this season: Rybakina has already hit harder than anyone else on the tour. While she won't threaten Pliskova's record, she will undoubtedly get closer to it during her final against Aryna Sabalenka in Riyadh.

Known for her formidable serve, Rybakina has established herself as the queen of aces this year. Yesterday, during her semi-final at the WTA Finals against Jessica Pegula, the world number 6 smashed 15 aces, allowing her to reach the symbolic milestone of 500 aces in a single season.

A total that hadn't been reached for nine years, back in the days of Karolina Pliskova. The former world No. 1 hit 517 aces in 2015 before setting a new personal record the following year with 530.
Between 2015 and 2021, she had even finished top of the ace rankings on five occasions.

In her final against Aryna Sabalenka this Saturday, Rybakina will need to rely on this weapon to make the difference. 18 aces would allow her to surpass the first mark set by Pliskova in 2015.

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

Jules Hypolite 06/12/2025 à 17h03

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.

What if tennis lost its soul? The case of robotized officiating, between tradition and a dehumanized modernity

Adrien Guyot 13/12/2025 à 09h00

Omnipresent cameras, line judges on the verge of extinction, mistakes that persist nonetheless: technology fascinates as much as it divides. Tennis, at a crossroads, is still searching for its balance between progress and emotion.

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.
