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.
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.
Brisbane will host an exceptional lineup from January 4 to 11, 2026: Sabalenka, Rybakina, Pegula, Keys, Andreeva, Alexandrova… and the French player Elsa Jacquemot, the only tricolor in contention. A tournament already full of promise.
