That's how firm Casper Ruud has been. The Norwegian has not hesitated to place Novak Djokovic, not only as the greatest tennis player in history, but as the greatest athlete of all time. This is what he stated in comments collected by SportKlub: "Novak is the greatest athlete of all time. I don't want to compare sports, because it's silly, but if you compare Novak to Tom Brady, for example, Brady is the greatest of all time, don't get me wrong, but athletically, Novak would crush him in most physical tests. OK, LeBron James may outperform Novak in some physical aspects, but for me, Novak is the greatest athlete that has ever existed," stated the world number twelve.

Mixed results for the Spaniards at the 2025 ATP Winston-Salem. The positive note was struck by Roberto Bautista, who secured the victory after Christopher O'Connell retired while the Castellonese was leading 6-4 in the scoreline. The veteran tennis player advances to the round of 16 and will face either Marton Fucsovics or Tallon Griekspoor. On the other hand, the negative came from Pedro Martínez, who, despite showing determination throughout against a powerhouse like Mpesthi Perricard, fell in the third-set tiebreak (6-2, 3-6, 6-7(3)), after one hour and 54 minutes of play.

After a frenetic opening day, the semifinalists of the Mixed Doubles at the US Open are now known. On one side, Casper Ruud and Iga Swiatek, who just 24 hours earlier were competing in the final of WTA Cincinnati, defeated Tiafoe-Keys (4-1, 4-2) in the round of sixteen and McNally-Musetti (4-1, 4-2) in the quarterfinals; they will face Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula, who eliminated Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu (4-2, 4-2) and Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva (4-1, 4-1). On the other side of the draw, the experienced Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori will battle for a spot in the final against Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison.

Novak Djokovic has also bid farewell in the early stages of the mixed doubles at the US Open. The Serb teamed up with compatriot Olga Danilovic and they were defeated by Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva by 4-2, 5-3, after 45 minutes of play. This way, the Russian pair advances to the quarterfinals and will face Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula, who ousted Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu.

Despite the defeat, Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu created a memorable moment in the mixed doubles at the US Open. During a point in their match against Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula, the Briton executed a sharply angled cross-court passing shot that Raducanu couldn't reach. However, the Spaniard, with his usual speed and reflexes, arrived when no one expected it to place the ball in Pegula's alley, astonishing his partner who put her hands on her head after the seemingly impossible point won by Alcaraz. It's a shame that we won't be able to see more points of this caliber due to their elimination.

Just hours before the final draw, the US Open 2025 has suffered a significant withdrawal that will affect the seeds and lead to changes before the start of the tournament. Injuries have played a bad trick on one of the main gems of the circuit, Arthur Fils, who has confirmed his absence from the last Grand Slam of the year, leaving a significant void among the top-20 threats. The Frenchman withdrew from Wimbledon and it seemed like he was returning for this North American swing, but after a brief stint in Canada, he has determined that the recovery time is severe enough for him not to participate at Flushing Meadows. A challenging absence that we will miss.
