Richard Gasquet, Fabio Fognini, Fernando Verdasco, Pedro Cachín... the list of ATP "classics" in the last decade who have announced their retirement in this 2025 is quite extensive, and, to top it off, has added a new name in the last hours. It is none other than Ricardas Berankis, the best Lithuanian racket in history and who once reached #50 in the world. "Ricka" announced the end of the road on social media, leaving two ATP finals, 15 Challenger titles, and facing matches against Murray or Nadal along the way.

After leaving us one of the most unpredictable and beautiful tennis finals at the Shanghai Masters 1000, cousins Valentin Vacherot and Arthur Rinderknech have decided to play together in the doubles at the 2026 Australian Open. However, this would not be the first time for the Monegasque and French players in a doubles tournament, as they have played together on three previous occasions: 2024 and 2025 Monte Carlo Masters and a 2017 ITF event in Tunisia.

Carlos Alcaraz has received a new recognition, this time from his circuit colleagues. The player from Murcia has been awarded the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award 2025, surpassing in the vote the trio of nominees composed of Felix Auger-Aliassime, Casper Ruud, and Grigor Dimitrov. The award, previously won in 2023, now comes with a special note: for the first time in history, the final vote was cast by the members of the "N1 Club" of the ATP, that is, the players who reached world number one. They were the ones who chose Carlitos as the winner, acknowledging his sportsmanship and good behavior on the court.

During the week when the ATP awards are being handed out, another one has already been announced. This time, it's the award for the favorite doubles pair selected by the fans. And just like in 2024, the Italian duo formed by Andrea Vavassori and Simone Bolelli has won the prize. The Italian pair finished the year as the seventh-ranked team in the world and secured four titles (Washington, Hamburg, Rotterdam, and Adelaide).
