We come from a time where three men shared 90% of the Grand Slams, and we are heading towards a new era where it seems that history repeats itself, only this time the sharing is between two. Is it fair to acknowledge that it's almost impossible to win a Grand Slam right now if you're not Sinner or Alcaraz? That's what the good Tallon Griekspoor hinted at when asked about the dangers of playing a tournament the week before a major. His response is priceless.
"I'd rather win an ATP 250 title the week before than prepare well for a Grand Slam. Sorry, at the end of my career, they will ask me how many titles I won or what my ranking was – they won't mention that I lost in the first round of Wimbledon to Brooksby," evaluated the Dutchman on The Changeover Podcast. What do you think?
Tallon Griekspoor says he prefers winning a 250 title the week before a Grand Slam and not focusing on the GS.

It has been more than three decades since Venus Williams turned professional as a tennis player. With a headline like that, we know we are dealing with a historic player, a 45-year-old legend who can retire whenever she wants, leaving behind some of the most incredible records in this sport. For example, yesterday she added to her record by debuting in the doubles draw of the WTA 500 in Washington: an impressive 32 consecutive seasons playing at least one official match. The word "monstrous" fits well, especially considering that Martina Navratilova is in second place on that list with 26 seasons. Will we ever see such a feat again?

Stan Wawrinka maintains his love for tennis and is poised to break longevity records. The Swiss, with his victory in Umag at 40 years and three months old, has become the fourth oldest player to claim a win in an ATP tournament. Ahead of him are Feliciano López (41 years and 9 months), Ivo Karlovic (42 years and 4 months), and Jimmy Connors (42 years and 9 months). Will he surpass the American's record?

The American raised questions about the overwhelm the player currently feels: "I don't understand why they keep adding new tournaments to the schedule".
It had been a long time since we had seen something like this. Since the Masters 1000 appeared on the men's calendar at the beginning of the nineties, it has been rare to see any of these tournaments without the presence of the World No. 1 and No. 2. Of course, it has happened, but it is not the norm. Following the decision by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz to skip the upcoming 2025 ATP Canada, statistics tell us that this has not occurred since the 2017 season when Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray decided to skip the Miami Masters.
After 🇮🇹 Jannik Sinner (1), 🇪🇸 Carlos Alcaraz (2) will also miss the @NBOtoronto

Although Jenson Brooksby couldn't secure victory in the first round of the ATP 500 in Washington, defeated by Yoshihito Nishioka, the truth is that he didn't leave empty-handed either. During the fourth game of the second set, the American transformed into roadrunner mode to produce a point that only the best Alex De Minaur could pull off. Darting from side to side, lungs burning, but achieving the objective. A titanic effort that ended up reaping rewards: winning the point and the ovation of a audience cheering for the California player.

Looking at the ATP 500 in Washington, with Taylor Fritz as the main figure, many began to imagine the American making his debut in the second round against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, thus setting up a rematch for what happened at Wimbledon a few weeks ago. However, this will not happen, as it is the Australian Aleksandar Vukic who has prevailed on the Frenchman's path (6-4, 3-6, 6-3), setting up a meeting with the American in the next round.

When the tennis world was ready to witness the farewell from the circuit of Danielle Collins, the American surprised by revealing that she would continue competing for one more season. Why did she do it? It is not known, but it is evident that this 2025 feels far from the sensations of the previous 2024. At the start of the North American summer tour, the 31-year-old failed to overcome the debut at the WTA 500 in Washington against Magda Linette (7-5, 6-4), a defeat that will make her drop beyond the top 60.
