This has been the impressive comeback by Nishikori, with two match points saved

The first great moment of the 2025 Australian Open was the one starred by Kei Nishikori in his first-round clash against Thiago Monteiro. At 35 years old, the Japanese came out unscathed from a relentless four-hour battle, in which he not only came back from a two-set deficit but also saved two match points. Impressive.

The ATP awards the prize for the best shot of 2024

After carefully reviewing each match of the 2024 season, ATP voters have finally determined that Thiago Monteiro was the author of the most impressive shot of the current calendar. A running tweener at the Masters 1000 in Rome that left the entire court in awe, including his opponent and his own coach. The Brazilian graciously revisited his masterpiece in this video to explain what he felt at that moment and the impact it had on the audience. I don't know if it will be the best of the season, but Thiago will surely take a long time to replicate something of this caliber.

ATP Bastad 2024. Ruud falls into Monteiro's grips

After leaving behind a brief grass court tour, where he only played two matches at Wimbledon, we can say that Casper Ruud was smiling again this week as he stepped back onto the clay. However, this morning, Thiago Monteiro crossed his path to wipe that smile off his face. It was a victory for the Brazilian in the round of 16 of the ATP 250 in Bastad, knocking out the second seed in the draw (6-3, 6-3), although we will still see the Norwegian teaming up with Rafa Nadal in the doubles discipline. On the other hand, Monteiro is having an outstanding season, having already defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas at the last Madrid Masters 1000.
