Jannik Sinner is making his big comeback to competition this Friday against Mariano Navone in Rome. His coach, Simone Vagnozzi, spoke about the stakes of this return: "There was no better place than Rome to start from scratch: we’re finally back to talking about tennis, which is what interests us.

It was wonderful to be back on the center court, with so many spectators. For a tennis player, being healthy and not being able to compete is the hardest thing.

Jannik is a fierce competitor—without that, he felt empty. Now, he knows he can get back to doing what he loves. The first two matches will be crucial to getting back into the swing of things.

It will be a little tough; he’ll have to get dirty, sweat, win, maybe not perfectly at first, and gradually find his rhythm again."

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.

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.

Is padel threatening tennis? Inside the revolution shaking up the established order

Adrien Guyot 06/12/2025 à 09h00

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 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.

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.
