The tennis elite makes the top players forget very quickly. Luxurious and impressive homes, trips around the world, vacations in the Maldives, and period dinners. This bubble does not seem to have absorbed Learner Tien yet, who, before playing in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Australian Open, made a humble and emotional confession: "I still live with my parents, with them. Perhaps this year I will look for a place for myself, but my parents are still very involved in my life. I am very grateful for everything they have done for me; my family has always been a very important part of my life. It is hard to imagine a life without them." 20 years that make it clear that Learner, beyond being a youngster, has his feet on the ground.

Learner Tien says he still lives at home with his parents, ‘My family has been such a big part of my life forever. It’s hard to think of a life without them’

Boris Becker, just before the start of the 2026 Australian Open, asserted that Jannik Sinner was undoubtedly the top favorite for the title. However, it seems that the German has now "converted" to Alcarazism after the recent performances of the Murcian player. "He is in a spectacular form. It is clear why the Australian Open was his main goal this year, more than any other Slam. That's why he's performing so well and hasn't dropped a set," pointed out the German on Eurosport, who 'blesses' Carlos Alcaraz ahead of the quarterfinals. Do you agree with him?

We have all speculated in recent months about what would be the next professional project for Juan Carlos Ferrero after his split with Carlos Alcaraz. Many ATP circuit players seemed like a good option for the Ontinyent native, but his first job announcement after parting ways with the Murcian has surprised everyone. Juanki confirmed on social media that he will become a advisor to Ángel Ayora, a young golfer with whom he will work on the "mental aspect and professional development". A new adventure for Ferrero, who for now is stepping away from the big tennis stages.

Alex de Miñaur wants to cause a surprise in this 2026 Australian Open. The Australian is already in the quarterfinals after sweeping Alexander Bublik 6-4, 6-1, 6-1. The 26-year-old tennis player gets serious when a Grand Slam arrives, to the point that in terms of consistency, he is one of the best in the world. With this result, he now has six quarterfinal appearances in the last eight Grand Slams, a number surpassed only by Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Novak Djokovic, who have seven participations each.

Alexander Bublik was completely outplayed by Alex de Miñaur who dominated the match from start to finish (6-4, 6-1, 6-1), bidding farewell to an Open de Australia 2026 where he had high hopes of causing an upset. However, his adventure came to an end because of the Australian, who is showcasing great tennis. In fact, Bublik sees in De Miñaur a player who is close to achieving a Grand Slam. This was affirmed during the press conference following his defeat.

"I suppose the next step is to be close to winning a Grand Slam, so we will have to see how the results go in this Open de Australia and in the rest of the Grand Slams. But yes, I think he played a great match today. The conditions were not very favorable for me. He played a great match. He deserved to win. Undoubtedly, he was the better player today, so I will take as much as possible from this match to grow and come back stronger."

The decision of the Australian Open to stop the match between Jannik Sinner and Elliott Spizzirri due to the heat protocol is still being discussed. At the time, Spizzirri was leading 3-1 in the third set, and Sinner was struggling with cramps. John McEnroe, known for speaking his mind, believes there was a certain "favoritism" towards Sinner in making that decision. During ESPN's live broadcast of the match, he stated, "I don't think anyone wants to see this in our sport. It seems like there is favoritism. I would like to think that if it had happened to Spizzirri, they would have also stopped the match. I don't know if they would have done it."
