We review the five matches that surprised the world throughout a 2024 full of surprises. Which matches left us speechless?
Carlos Alcaraz
This Monday, December 9th, the preseason of Carlos Alcaraz kicked off, who will split his time between Club de Campo de Murcia and the Ferrero Tennis Academy in Villena. It will be at this second stop where he will host two special guests, none other than the British player Jack Draper (#15) and the Italian Flavio Cobolli (#32). It's interesting about Cobolli, who was already here last December and did quite well. Just like Jannik Sinner, who also visited the Levantine coast and look at the progress he made. It will be fascinating to see these men share experiences in this preseason test before the start of 2025.

If you were to win Roland Garros, win Wimbledon, and hang an Olympic silver medal in just three months, would you be satisfied with your season? This question may have various answers depending on the individual. In yesterday's press conference in Charlotte, Carlos Alcaraz spoke about his 2024 and confessed to having faced some issues during the season, experiencing some challenging moments. By his side, Sloane Stephens reacted as only a genius can, with laughter. Frances Tiafoe also couldn't believe the comment.
“I’m not used to dealing with so many injuries, and this year was a complicated time for me”

Jack Draper was experiencing physical issues during his recent training session, leading to his exclusion from Carlos Alcaraz's preseason plans, as reported by Marca. The Briton was one of the two players who were going to travel to the Ferrero Tennis Academy to prepare for the upcoming season. In his place, Flavio Cobolli will go, who has previously been there to assist the Spaniard.

We break down the roadmap of the three main stars of the circuit: preseason, deadlines, preparatory tournaments, exhibitions... what will they do before the first Slam?
A few days ago we saw him win against Ben Shelton at Madison Square Garden; this time he has had to lose against Frances Tiafoe in Charlotte. It's the little tour of Carlos Alcaraz in the United States this December, sharing moments with good friends and, why not say it, taking a good sum of money. Anything to stay connected to tennis, as the 2025 season starts in less than 20 days.

Carlos Alcaraz is in Charlotte, about to play his exhibition match against Frances Tiafoe. But before heading to the tennis court, the Spaniard visited the city's race track, one of the most important in the "NASCAR Cup Series" championship. Alcaraz got into one of the so-called "stock cars" to take a spin and experience speed in a different way. In a video shared on social media by the track itself, the Murcian is seen being amazed and enjoying the moment equally.

There are no significant absences in the preliminary list of the first Grand Slam of the year. Nor in the women's draw, where Belinda Bencic returns. Who has confirmed their presence?

After his performance alongside Shelton, the Spaniard was asked about his big goal for the upcoming season... and he's aiming for an event that will take place very soon.
Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton treated everyone present at the Madison Square Garden to a special and fun evening, in an entertaining display full of emotion, especially with the Spanish player. New York once again witnessed how Carlitos worked his magic by defeating the local player 4-6, 6-2, and 4, thus claiming the trophy of the so-called The Garden Cup. It was a great night where both players had fun, entertained the audience, and showed a closer bond than ever before. Here's one of the highlights from the match.
Worthy of applause. 👏 #TheGardenCup | @carlosalcaraz pic.twitter.com/4rcBTBc2dn
