Arnaldi reveals his secret to not showing the aftermath of his success in front of Djokovic

Matteo Arnaldi is pushing his limits in this 2025 Mutua Madrid Open, and although many expected his victory over Djokovic to be a one-off, the truth is that the Italian has confirmed his great feelings by reaching the quarterfinals. After defeating Tiafoe, he went through the mixed zone and explained his feelings. "I learned the lesson from previous occasions where I won a match that I didn't expect and then struggled to maintain the level. I have managed to stay focused, isolate myself from the media noise, and continue to improve my game," affirmed a man who is already waiting in the quarterfinals for Dimitrov or Diallo.

Alcaraz returns to training with bandages on both legs

Carlos Alcaraz has picked up a tennis racket again after the Conde de Godó final on April 20. Since then, the player from Murcia had not set foot on a tennis court due to his injury in the right adductor and certain discomfort in the left hamstring, which forced him to withdraw from the Mutua Madrid Open. The world number three stated that he would take a few days off to avoid pushing too hard, and on Wednesday, the 30th, he returned to training in Murcia, with both legs bandaged as a precaution. It is worth noting that his main goal is to arrive in the best possible condition at Roland Garros, but he does not rule out playing in Rome if he has positive feelings.

When Max receives Sinner's sanction six times... the system has failed

"When Max is given Sinner's sanction six times... the system has failed"

This past Tuesday, the tennis world learned about the sanction of Max Purcell. The Australian had accepted an 18-month suspension for exceeding the permissible limit of a multivitamin that he introduced into his body through an intravenous injection. His Australian friends, such as Nick Kyrgios or John Millman, have come to his defense and criticized the system, comparing it to what happened with Jannik Sinner.

"When Sinner receives a three-month suspension for a banned substance, and Max is given six times the penalty he received, it's hard not to think that the system has failed its players," Millman commented in SMH. Kyrgios, on his part, refers to the occurrence as "ridiculous," stating that the system is corrupt.

Sinner reveals which moment of his career he has not yet managed to overcome

Jannik Sinner granted an interview to RAI1, the Italian public television, and in it, he confessed which moment in his career he has not yet managed to overcome: "There have been some things in the past, for example, the match point against Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open 2022 that I didn't take advantage of," asserts the number one about a match that haunts him in his dreams, just like Xavi Hernández is haunted by the marking he received from Chico Flores in a Barcelona-Almeria match in 2009. All the greats have a day to forget.
