The Argentine opens up and reflects on the possibility of becoming a coach, Djokovic's current motivation... and his similarities with Joao Fonseca.
ATP
The worldwide impact and the buzz surrounding Joao Fonseca are becoming increasingly evident in the decisions of many tournaments. The uproar and influence of the Brazilian player are undeniable, and the Mutua Madrid Open 2025 knows it well, having placed him in a "stellar" session for his debut in this edition. A slight change in the schedule for Thursday, April 24: the night session at Manolo Santana will consist of only one match, featuring Coco Gauff against a player yet to be determined, starting no earlier than 7:00 PM; Joao will face the Danish player Elmer Moller in the fourth match of the day session, around 4:15 PM. The day marks the beginning of the second round for the women, with the star match being a Swiatek vs Eala showdown starting around 12:30 PM.

Federico Cina is determined to accelerate his progression by taking advantage of the opportunities received through invitations to major tournaments. At 18 years old, the Italian defeated Coleman Wong by 7-6 (5) 6-1, demonstrating a spectacular level of play. He will now face Sebastian Korda at the Mutua Madrid Open 2025, which will be a good measure of his maturity.

It was only small details that ultimately decided the duel between Nuno Borges and Pablo Carreño in the first round of the 2025 Mutua Madrid Open. The score, finally in favor of the Portuguese player (6-7(1), 7-6(3), 6-3), conceals a match so evenly matched that it was determined... by just a single break! There were no breaks in the first two sets, although Carreño had a match point at 5-4, 30-40, which Borges saved with a great serve + 1 combo. From there, Borges' positive momentum, with an 11-1 record in the early rounds of tournaments this year, ended up tipping the balance in his favor. A tough loss for Carreño, who is experiencing one of his worst Masters 1000 performances in Madrid statistically.

It has become common for many ATP circuit players to respond to questions about who their perfect player would be. In this little game, the best players have participated, and the latest to undergo it was Joao Fonseca, who was questioned by ESPN about the best in aspects like backhand, forehand, or serve. His answers are worth noting... and are clearly influenced by the Big Three, especially by Roger Federer.

The young Brazilian reveals what he believes is his greatest virtue, talks about short-term goals, and makes interesting reflections before the Mutua Madrid Open 2025.
Rafael Nadal does not feel the necessary motivation to play tennis, but he is fully enjoying another sport that has always been one of his great passions: golf. In an interview with TheTelegraph, he even confessed that he would like to gather all the Big 4 members in an amateur golf tournament, although the difference in skill level could be a challenge. "On the tennis court, there was no difference in level between us, but in golf, they would have to train hard because I am quite better than them," he joked. As far as is known, Roger Federer is practicing intensively, while there is no evidence of the golf skills of Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic.

We still haven't fully gotten used to seeing Andy Murray advising Novak Djokovic, a feeling shared by Rafael Nadal judging by his words in a conversation with TheTelegraph, where he was asked about this matter. "I was surprised that just after retiring, Andy wanted to start a project involving traveling, but I understand that being with Novak is very appealing. I believe that for Djokovic, being advised by one of his great rivals is a great motivator, so I think it's a good combination. Andy is passionate about tennis and has seen this as a great opportunity. I hope things go well for them, I wish it from the heart," said the Spaniard.

Rafael Nadal gave an interview to TheTelegraph where he was asked about the doping sanction on Jannik Sinner. His response was clear, standing up for the Italian. "If I'm not mistaken, the ruling basically declares him innocent. It's evident that everything that happened was not good for tennis, but accidents like this occur in life. I believe in Jannik, I am fully convinced that he never intended to cheat or gain an advantage over others with any substance. He is a person of very good moral character. I don't mean to question the ruling with this. There are protocols we need to follow, and if they need to be changed, we have to work towards it. As far as I'm concerned, the case is closed," he concluded.
