Some now speak well of the 2005-2008 era, when Federer and Nadal roamed, while disregarding Alcaraz and Sinner.

After watching him win the Junior Australian Open at the beginning of the season, it was great to see Henry Bernet back in action, especially on such a big stage like the ATP 500 in Basel. At 18 years old and still outside the top 400, we can say the Swiss didn't shy away tonight when facing Jakub Mensik, who is only two years older. In the end, it was a victory for the Czech who managed to regroup in the third set (7-6, 6-7, 6-3), but the impression left by the Swiss is remarkable, and we are sure we will soon see him making his mark on the Challenger circuit.

The Italian, who is competing this week in the ATP in Vienna, admits to feeling the pressure of defending the eighth spot that allows him to be in Turin.
Monday's action at the ATP 500 in Vienna ended with a surprise. Fifth seed and last year's runner-up, Karen Khachanov, made an early exit. On the other hand, a stellar performance by Tallon Grieekspoor (6-3, 5-7, 6-4) to stop the Russian and firmly enter the title race in conditions that suit him perfectly. His next opponent will be American Brandon Nakashima, also proving to be a clear danger indoors.

After leading Italy to victory in the last two Davis Cups, the team has requested Jannik Sinner to rest this coming November, allowing his teammates to go to Bologna in search of a third title. The news, which is respectful and has been mostly taken philosophically, has not been well received by Nicola Pietrangeli, the great legend of Italian tennis.
"It's a huge slap in the face to Italian sports," said the Roland Garros champion in statements collected by ANSA Agency. "I don't understand when he says it was a difficult choice; we are talking about playing tennis, not going to war. When it comes to the Davis Cup, it's the ultimate, every athlete's goal is to wear the blue jersey. Unfortunately, I know I'm talking about another era. I hope that during the Davis Cup, he doesn't go play somewhere else; I see that the world today moves for money and leaves the heart aside," said the 92-year-old.

In addition to promoting his latest biography, if there's one topic we've heard Boris Becker talk about a lot lately, it's undoubtedly Alexander Zverev. Always frank and honest, if he had something negative to say about Sacha, he said it. The problem is that so many opinions seem to have tired the Hamburg native, who appears to have severed ties with Boris. These were his words towards the Leimen legend in his latest interview with the newspaper Bild.
"To be honest, I think he doesn't care much," declared Sascha, already weary of listening to his compatriot. "I believe he's just seeking media attention, something he gets when he talks about me. It's a shame, but I no longer care about what he says," he stated firmly.

Carlos Alcaraz not only breaks records in the world of tennis, but he is also breaking them even in the auction house. The racket with which he won his first Wimbledon in 2023 against Novak Djokovic has just been sold for $173,066, becoming the most expensive racket sold at an auction. But this is not the only record he holds, as the ball with which he won the US Open 2025 was sold for $88,900, and two cards signed by him reached $222,000 and $237,000.

Stanislas Wawrinka made it clear about his tennis future. The Swiss, a three-time Grand Slam winner, is aware that his playing time is running out, but for now, retirement is not so certain. This was confirmed by the 40-year-old player himself: "We'll see if there is another season; we will finish this one first. I live in the present, trying to make the most of it. We all have a deadline, and at some point, we have to put away the rackets. I know the end is very near. I'm happy to be here in Basel and will assess things after Athens. But yes, I hope to play a bit more next year. I still enjoy what I do and want to make the most of my last matches. First and foremost, I want to push my limits and then see what results I get. As long as I have motivation, I want to go a bit further," he stated in an interview with Le Matin.
