Having qualified for the last 16 on Wednesday after a 2:15-hour duel with McDonald and a 2:37am conlusion, the Italian withdrawn on Thursday before facing De Minaur. This is surely a way of ensuring his recovery before the ATP Finals in Turin.

Sinner J • 4

De Minaur A • 13

Forfait

Sinner J • 4

McDonald M

2e, 11500 points

112e, 559 points

7e, 4135 points

Some stupid people are saying it is about money. Top tennis players care much more about winning the biggest prizes and the the Turin finals is much bigger than the Paris masters. Sinner was made to play at ridiculous hours last night, risking him his ability to catch up. What is a faultier is the ATP and their greed. 100% empathise with Sinner and his decision to pull out and prioritise the more important competition coming up.

What is his excuse for withdrawing? Injury? Illness? Or he's just playing the numbers game hoping this will improve his rankings if he goes further into Turin. What does manipulating points and numbers have to do with actually playing tennis? I guess in the end it's all about money for everyone involved.

Everything is about money.. But he had lately some tough matches.. those matches might have taken a huge toll of his fitness or whatever.. why should we blame him? Capisco? Haters will be allways haters.

I happen to like Sinner. I believe he is going to eventually win multiple majors. He's just too inconsistent in his level of play to do that right now. And one way to improve your level is to go out and train yourself mentally to play at a high level and the primary way to do that is in competition. I'm disappointed about not getting to see him play.

(If one says something negative about a player it doesn't mean they hate them. Well, maybe it does for some people and then they project that mentality on to others.)

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.

Lavish tournaments, record prize money, strategic partnerships: Saudi Arabia is imposing itself at breakneck speed in the world of tennis.

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.

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.
