Draper moves from 7th to 6th in the ATP rankings. He surpasses Casper Ruud and becomes the second left-handed player this century to break into the ATP top 6.

Left-handers in the ATP top 10 since 2000:

- Marcelo Rios: 7th in 2000
- Mariano Puerta: 9th in 2005
- Rafael Nadal: 1st in 2008
- Fernando Verdasco: 7th in 2009
- Jurgen Melzer: 8th in 2011
- Denis Shapovalov: 10th in 2020
- Cameron Norrie: 8th in 2022
- Jack Draper: 6th in 2025

The last time a left-hander other than Nadal or Draper was in the ATP Top 6 was in 1999 with Greg Rusedski (6th).

Tennis never really stops… or almost. Behind the endless stream of tournaments, champions must learn to stop in order to last. From Federer to Alcaraz, an investigation into those decisive few weeks when everything is at stake: rest, release, and rebirth.

More Than a Match: Pay Inequalities Between Women and Men in Tennis

From the Williams sisters to Alizé Cornet, from sponsors to the ATP and WTA tours, the debate over pay equality in tennis has never been more intense. Between undeniable progress and persistent inequalities, the king of racket sports finds itself facing its own contradictions.

Programs for all ages and a pathway to the professional world in major complexes that are increasingly modernized. This is the motto of the Rafa Nadal Academy, which discovers the champions of tomorrow and prepares them for the very highest level.

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.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

I love tennis

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.
