Eliminated in the quarterfinals of the WTA 125 in Colina last week by Laura Samson (1-6, 6-2, 7-5), Carole Monnet wanted revenge against the Czech player. The two women met again in the first round of the WTA 125 in Buenos Aires. The match scenario was similar to the one from just a few days ago, as the Frenchwoman, ranked 158th in the world this week, took the lead to easily win the first set.

But the WTA's 233rd-ranked player gained momentum and eventually found the key to win in three sets (2-6, 6-2, 6-3 in 1h50). The 17-year-old player advances to the round of 16 where she could face another French player, Léolia Jeanjean. The unfortunate finalist in Colina, the world number 100, will challenge Luisina Giovannini in the coming hours and will therefore face Samson for a spot in the quarterfinals if successful.

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.

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.

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.

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.
