The Frenchman, who will not finally reappear at the Australian Open either, is not in a hurry to return and prefers to do so when he is 100% recovered from his back problems.
At the moment, there is no stopping Daniil Medvedev in this early season. The Russian is determined to arrive at the Open de Australia as one of the title contenders after what was seen at the ATP Brisbane 2026. The Muscovite easily defeated Alex Michelsen in the semifinals with a score of 6-4, 6-2, after an hour and 44 minutes of play. Now, another American, Brandon Nakashima, awaits him in the final, who prevailed over his compatriot, Aleksandar Kovacevic with 7-6(4), 6-4, after an hour and 45 minutes.

In 2025, Lorenzo Musetti's great season led him to reach the brink of the fifth spot in the ATP ranking. As 2026 kicks off, with Musetti making it to the final of the 2026 ATP Hong Kong, he has secured a place in the global Top 5 starting next Monday, just a week before the Australian Open. Thus, the Carrara native will become the third Italian in the Open Era to achieve this feat, following Adriano Panatta and Jannik Sinner.
When the new rankings come out, Lorenzo Musetti will be a top 5 player for the first time.

Coco Gauff enters the prestigious list of tennis players with their own academy, but the American has chosen a very special place. According to journalist Barbara Blake Hannah, the current Roland Garros champion has decided that the public courts of Atlanta, where she first picked up a tennis racket, will become Gauff Futures, a tennis and youth education academy for children who would otherwise never have access to this sport. The 21-year-old does not forget where she comes from.

Alexander Bublik continues to amaze with his tennis at the beginning of this year, following a very convincing 2025.

This sets up a showdown between Bublik and Lorenzo Musetti for the title, and if he manages to beat the Italian, he will enter the list of the world's top ten tennis players for the first time.

The number 11 in the world has won all her matches in this United Cup, both in singles and mixed doubles, and is the reason why Switzerland has made it to the grand final.
The United States has not spoken its last word in this United Cup 2026. After Hubert Hurkacz's victory over Taylor Fritz, and considering Iga Swiatek's great form, many people took for granted Poland's passage to the final. However, Coco Gauff has shown her best version so far in 2026 and has clearly dominated the world number two with a 6-4, 6-2 victory, after an hour and 41 minutes. Thus, it will be the mixed doubles that will decide which country will face Switzerland in the grand final.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are much more than rivals. The two best tennis players in the world get along wonderfully, as demonstrated once again by the words the Spaniard dedicated to the Italian after their exhibition in South Korea: "Jannik, we finished the season playing together, we started the season playing together, so I hope this season is as good as last year. You deserve the best, all the best to you, to your team, and as our team says, I hope to see you many Sundays," confessed the world number one.

Lorenzo Musetti and Andrey Rublev have just played one of the best matches so far this year, facing off in the semifinals of the ATP Hong Kong 2026 and both deserving the win.

The Carrara native claimed victory by 6-7(3), 7-5, 6-4, after two hours and 45 minutes, and is now in the final, awaiting the winner between Alexander Bublik and Marcos Giron.

Vera Zvonareva continues to surprise at 41 years old. The finalist of Wimbledon and the US Open in 2010 returned to the courts a few months ago and is currently in the qualifying round of the WTA Adelaide 2026. There, she staged an incredible comeback against Laura Siegemund. The Russian was trailing with a score of 0-5 and 30-40, almost losing the set, but she turned it around and won 11 consecutive games until the German retired with 7-5, 4-0. A remarkable comeback that puts Zvonareva just one match away from reentering a WTA tournament's main draw.
