Steve Johnson's tremendous outburst after the elimination of the United States against the Czech Republic: "It's horrible, having the final phase held in neutral territory is outrageous".
ATP
Although it was more of a proposal from the CNBC journalist rather than coming directly from his mouth, we celebrated it nonetheless. During a chat to promote the 2025 Laver Cup starting this Friday night, Roger Federer mentioned the idea of creating a kind of ' Fedal Tour,' where the main figures would always be veteran players who have already retired.
"Yes, why not? I love Rafa. Lately, I've been playing a lot, so I'm trying to stay in shape. I know that Rafa is also completely willing to play tennis, although the concept of a 'senior tour' sounds terrible to us. But yes, perhaps we could create a circuit... a kind of 'Fedal Tour'," the Swiss evaluated.

"Would you ever start a senior tour with Rafa?"

We already have the first match schedule of this eighth edition of the Laver Cup 2025. We will be able to enjoy the first match of Carlos Alcaraz in San Francisco. The Spaniard will play at the end of the day, the fourth match, around 06:00 in the morning Spanish time. And who will he play against? Rather, with whom will he play. The Spanish player will team up with Jakub Mensik to face the Americans Taylor Fritz and Alex Michelsen. A great way to end the day, although much attention should be paid to the three matches that will take place before the doubles.

We were all concerned to see Gael Monfils retire in the first round of the Chengdu ATP, where an ankle injury forced him to withdraw at the beginning of the third set against Shevchenko. At 39 years old, nothing surprises us at this point. The Frenchman, who hasn't won a match since Wimbledon, wanted to share some messages on Twitter to let everyone know how he's doing.
"Clearly, it's not the best moment of my career, let's be honest. Right now, there are many things at stake, many questions, I'm not in the best mood, and today I wasn't very lucky, my ankle failed me. Despite everything, I am personally doing very well, and that's what matters most. I still feel very lucky to be able to play this sport that I love so much at the highest level," said the Frenchman.
But for real, I'm doing great as a person 🙏🏾and that's what matters. I'm still very grateful to be able to play in this high-level sport that I love so much. Even though the ankle stopped me today, I'm super grateful for all the...

The name of Björn Borg is once again on everyone's lips these days after the Swede released his memoir, where he reveals he is battling cancer. This has led the Swede to give several interviews this week, addressing questions of all kinds. In one given to BBC Breakfast, the champion gave his assessment of the sanction received by Jannik Sinner for his positive test for Clostebol.
"Honestly, I was very surprised when I read all this. Moreover, I think it happened to him twice, I mean, if it happened once... but it was twice, it seems. I don't know, it was a very strange case. The truth is, I don't know what happened; I just hope it wasn't anything serious," the Swede said, leaving some mystery.

The new captain of the Laver Rest of the World team made some very interesting statements about Joao, his experience with Djokovic, and his current relationship with tennis.
The day revolved around comebacks in the ATP Hangzhou 2025. Perhaps the most publicized was that of Matteo Berrettini; however, the one with a longer absence was that of a tennis player who excited China but has dealt with the ghost of injuries for seven months. This player is Zhizhen Zhang, who hadn't played since Indian Wells and managed a commendable victory against Buyunchaokete, making a successful return to professional competition (6-7(2), 6-4, 7-6(3)). As the scoreboard shows, the match had it all, including two match points for Bu that his compatriot saved with style. There is no better test for a comeback, no doubt.
Matches of the day (first round):
- Tomás Etcheverry d. Damir Dzumhur 6-2, 6-4
- Dalibor Svrcina (LL) d. Matteo Berrettini (8) 6-3, 6-3
- Nishesh Basavareddy (Q) d. Marin Cilic 4-6, 6-4, 6-3
- Giulio Zeppieri (Q) d. Fajing Sun (WC) 6-3, 6-2

Gaël Monfils continues to fight to not lose relevance, but the wear and tear and physical demands of the sport seem to have taken an even greater toll on him in recent months. The Frenchman has not won a match since Wimbledon: the ATP Chengdu 2025 was seen as a great opportunity to break that losing streak, but it ended in disappointment and issues after he was forced to retire in his debut against Alexander Shevchenko (6-7(3), 6-3, 1-0 and Retired). A fall on his right ankle caused the pain, a bad twist that we still do not know if it may have further consequences in the long term.
Other results of the day (first-round matches):
- Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (6) d. Filip Misolic 3-6, 6-1, 6-4
- Lorenzo Sonego (8) d. Juan Manuel Cerúndolo 4-6, 6-3, 6-1
- Alejandro Tabilo d. Jordan Thompson 6-4, 6-3
- Taro Daniel d. Coleman Wong (WC) 6-3, 6-2
- Dino Prizmic d. Terence Atmane 6-4, 6-3
- Mackenzie McDonald d. Botic van de Zandschulp 6-4, 3-6, 6-3
- Nikoloz Basilashvili d. Billy Harris 7-6(5), 6-3

Lorenzo Musetti is in Asia with the goal of accumulating enough points to secure a spot in the ATP Finals in Turin. After a clay court season where he reached the semifinals of all the tournaments (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome, Roland Garros), his presence was very close, but following a poor grass and North American hard court season, he needs to gather points in Asia. The Carrara native, currently eighth in the Race, is aware of this: "We are still far from reaching Turin, but it's my goal, there is still a lot of work to be done, but I try to use this as motivation to improve. China will be a great test for me and will allow me to understand our position. Turin is my goal, as I have already said and confirmed, but beyond that, it would also be a dream to play in front of my fans," said the world number nine in statements collected by Giovanni Pelazzo.
