Milos Raonic, former world number 3, announces his definitive farewell from the tour: "I am more prepared than ever."
ATP
Kazakh and Italian players, who shared the final in Hong Kong, lead the most outstanding rises of the week, achieving their best historical ranking. Hurkacz and Tsitsipas, other great contenders.
Much has been said throughout today about Lorenzo Musetti's striking streak of lost finals. The Italian has reached the top-5 despite losing his last seven consecutive finals, a situation that has drawn criticism and even questioned the state of tennis. Is it really so negative? Is he the only one to go through such a streak? History tells us otherwise, as Nicolas Kiefer was ranked #4 in the world after losing 10 straight finals, Kei Nishikori reached the same ranking with 9 consecutive title match defeats, and names like David Ferrer, Milos Raonic (both as world number threes), Sergi Bruguera, or Felix Auger-Aliassime also experienced similar successful periods despite a stretch like Lolo's. Nothing to be ashamed of.

They made history! Australian player Henry Young, 102 years old, and the American Arthur Lind, 97 years old, were the protagonists of the most senior official clash between tennis players in history. This took place last October at the ITF World Championship in the +90 category in Bol, Croatia.
102 years 🆚️ 97 years! The official match with the oldest players.

Puntodebreak sits down with one of the great jewels of Spanish tennis after the most difficult stage of his career: he underwent surgery, climbed from the top 900 to the top 200... and now dreams of great heights.
The rise of Alexander Bublik into the top-10 is not by chance. The improvement of the Kazakh in all aspects of his game is more than remarkable, growing in every facet and finding a consistency and regularity we were not aware of. All this can be verified numerically: as our friends at Tennis Insights show us, Sasha has progressed in the average of all his shots: all surpass the tour average, with noteworthy averages in the serve (8.9 on average) and his forehand and backhand (both with a score of 8) this week in Hong Kong, above his usual averages. Moreover, he averaged 9.3 winners per match, also increasing his average. There is no doubt that his evolution is constant... and a threat in Melbourne.

Daniil Medvedev is the only tennis player in history to have won 22 titles in 22 different cities. Yes, you read that right. The most cosmopolitan Russian in the world of sports added another trophy to his collection by reaching the top in Brisbane, making this Australian city the twenty-second on the planet where Medvedev has triumphed. When asked about it at a press conference, he was laconic.
"It's a curious story. I think my goal for this year will be to win again in a city where I've already won. Well, if I win in Melbourne, I would expand the list to 23 titles in 23 different cities, that would be nice," he said before asking the ATP on social media to add a new city to the circuit because he's running out of places to win.
Medvedev has won 22 titles. The 22 in different tournaments and different cities.

The saga of injuries continues for Emil Ruusuvuori, who has been forced to withdraw from the 2026 Australian Open, a tournament he had entered by exercising his Protected Ranking right. The Finn, currently ranked 545th in the world due to his inability to compete consistently for some time, had reached 37th in the world. His absence allows Yannick Hanfmann to enter directly into the main draw, leaving a spot open in the qualifying rounds. If there is another withdrawal during this week, the replacement would be Ignacio Buse.

Moise Kouame stands out as one of the great promises of world tennis. Outstanding in the junior circuit and with surprisingly remarkable results every time he has sporadically participated in ITF and ATP Challenger Tour tournaments, this Frenchman has taken a significant step forward in his progression by winning his first professional title at just 16 years old. He achieved this at the ITF M25 Hazebrouck 2026, defeating Papamalamis 7-6 (5) 6-1. He is the first player born in 2009 to claim victory in a professional event.
