Iga Swiatek continues her journey in New York.

While the Pole seemed to have lost momentum in recent weeks, she is now back to full fitness, as evidenced by her 6-4, 6-1 win over Liudmila Samsonova on Monday.

After a difficult first match in which she seemed far from her best, the world number 1 is now impressing.

After a solid match in which she was never really troubled, Swiatek reassured herself once again on Monday, masterfully passing her first test of the tournament.

For a place in the semi-finals, she will face a Jessica Pegula who is in better shape than ever.

A promising duel!

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.

As a laboratory for tomorrow’s tennis, does the Next Gen Masters have a future?

Jules Hypolite 13/12/2025 à 17h01

Conceived as a bold bet to prepare for the post–Big 3 era, the Next Gen Masters has shaken up the codes of modern tennis. A pioneering, visionary tournament, but now in search of an identity.

Training future champions: spotlight on the decline of the French public model facing private academies

Arthur Millot 06/12/2025 à 13h10

As federations struggle to reinvent themselves, private academies are capturing talent… but also families able to invest tens of thousands of euros a year. A system that is increasingly effective, but also increasingly unequal.

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.

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.
