Incredible, but true. Aryna Sabalenka has admitted in a recent interview that she was so desperate about her inability to achieve big results due to her tendency to make double faults that she was very close to retiring. The Belarusian was perceived as a great star, but struggled a lot to take the final step to materialize her potential into titles.

The lack of trust was piling up due to her inability to reduce the double faults, reaching a total of 428 in one season. It was in 2022, and by the end of the year, she informed her team that she was quitting tennis. At that moment, her fitness coach, Jason Stacy, convinced her to give biomechanics a chance as a remedy for her issue. It worked wonders.

Aryna Sabalenka is not only the best player in the world, but also a role model for many girls, both for her sporting performance and for her personality and charisma on and off the courts. Nike doesn't seem to see it that way, the brand that dresses her in the tennis world, as the Belarusian recently revealed that her kits will not be personalized.

You may not recognize his name, but Pedro Vives, a 24-year-old Spanish player, earned a scholarship to study in the United States at university due to his great performance over the years at the Rafa Nadal Academy. Once there, he has excelled in his sports performance, becoming the doubles champion of the NCAA this season and achieving various accomplishments in American university tennis. As a result, he received a call to serve as a sparring partner at the 2025 ATP Finals, where he warms up with the players before their matches. He chatted with Movistar+ sharing his day-to-day life in Turin.

Ben Shelton still has remote chances of qualifying for the semifinals of the ATP Finals 2025, but he had no qualms about analyzing his season and even rating it during the press conference following his loss to Auger-Aliassime. "I am very proud of what I did up to the US Open. From then on, my performance dropped, but I would rate my season as an 8 out of 10. I need rhythm to show my best tennis and I must let these defeats hurt me because they will help me improve in the future," he asserted.

Félix Auger-Aliassime staged a great comeback against Ben Shelton to secure his first victory in the ATP Finals 2025. The American started strong, but once the Canadian got into the match, Shelton tactically struggled. He barely targeted Auger-Aliassime's weak shot, which is his backhand. In fact, Shelton hit a total of 142 forehands versus only 51 backhands throughout the match. A gift from Shelton that Auger-Aliassime didn't hesitate to capitalize on.

Félix Auger-Aliassime carried out a tremendous comeback against Ben Shelton (4-6, 7-6(7), 7-5) that has allowed him to achieve his first victory in these 2025 ATP Finals. In fact, this is his second victory in ATP Finals after his triumph in 2022, where he defeated Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-4. A curious coincidence is that the only two victories of the Canadian in this tournament have been against left-handers like Shelton and Nadal, while he lost the other three matches against right-handed players (Casper Ruud, Taylor Fritz, Jannik Sinner).
