The 2025 ATP Awards are coming to an end. Today it was time to find out who has won the Newcomer of the Year award, indeed, the Revelation of the season par excellence. There was strong competition, with an interesting mix of young talents taking their first steps in the elite and others already established with significant improvement... but one story has stood out above the rest. It could only be the story of Valentin Vacherot, finishing the year in the top 35 after perhaps the most surprising Masters 1000 title in history (Shanghai). The Monegasque defeated Draper, Fonseca, and Mensik, chosen by the 29 players who have been ATP number ones, the so-called "N1 Club" tasked with voting from the four nominees. A very well-deserved award.

On December 10, 2000, was a historic date for tennis and Spanish sports.

The Spanish team was composed of Albert Costa, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Alex Corretja, Joan Balcells, and led by the famous 'G4': Javier Duarte, Josep Perlas, Juan Bautista Avendaño, and Jordi Vilaró. After that title, they were followed by victories in 2004, 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2019.

The Australian analyzes his emotions and expectations facing the Battle of the Sexes that he will protagonize against Sabalenka on December 28.
Aryna Sabalenka was asked in the joint interview with Kyrgios on Piers Morgan's show about her opinion on the doping case of Jannik Sinner. The Belarusian was not influenced by the presence of the Australian, one of the most critical of Sinner, and explained her resolute position. "I believe in clean sport, and everyone should receive the same treatment from authorities, but honestly, I don't think there was anything suspicious in this case. What I personally try to do is to protect myself a lot and be very careful with everything, because you never know what a positive test in these cases could trigger," she explained.

The ATP has officially announced that the measures implemented as a trial during 2025 aimed at reducing matches ending late at night will become permanent. Avoiding scheduling matches at 11:00 p.m. or later, starting evening sessions no later than 7:30 p.m., moving unstarted matches from a court at 10:30 p.m., and limiting to a maximum of five matches per day on each court, if starting at 11:00 a.m., were the rules that reduced the number of matches ending after midnight from 50 to 39.
