Adicto al sonido de la pelota sobre la pista y al de las teclas mientras transmito mi pasión. Soy feliz hablando de tenis e intento que los demás lo sean leyéndome.
Carlos Alcaraz was asked in an interview with ESPN about his opinion on the longevity of players like Djokovic, Wawrinka, Monfils, or Cilic. The Spaniard praised them, affirming that the key is the passion for tennis. He mentioned that he doesn't believe they themselves thought long ago that they would still be active players today. When asked if he sees himself still competing at that age, the Murcian was firm. "Right now, I don't think about that, but the truth is, I find it difficult to imagine competing beyond the age of 35, although you never know. I hope to have that passion and vitality they have," he said.

The Polish player makes interesting reflections at the 2026 Australian Open on what the great disadvantage is of being a player at her level.
Alexander Zverev was so exultant with his access to the round of 16 of the Australian Open 2026 that after defeating Norrie, in the court-side interview, he even joked that if he wins the tournament, he will fix his hair. No one expected that a guy so trendy and with such a beloved mane like the German's would dare to say that, but the fervor to win a Grand Slam clouds Sascha's thoughts.

Carlos Alcaraz is breaking all kinds of precocity records and setting records at his age even better than those achieved by the Big 3 and other legends. When asked about this on Eurosport, the Spaniard is clear in stating how great it is to see his progression but mentions that these statistics mean nothing to him, and he doesn't pay attention to them because his only concern is to improve every day. If he fails to do so and stagnates, everything achieved so far would mean nothing. "I want to be sitting at the same table as the Big 3, but at the end of my career."
🗣️ We asked @carlosalcaraz about the record he set surpassing legends like Federer, Djokovic, or Nadal in Grand Slam tournaments, and his response is priceless.

The Swiss succumbed in a great battle against a 19-year-old Czech player, Nikola Bartunkova, who, with her versatile and talented tennis, prevailed 6-3 0-6 6-4. She came from the qualifying rounds, and her next opponent will be Elise Mertens.

Sorana Cirstea criticized Naomi Osaka for her behavior during their match at the Australian Open 2026. She complained to the chair umpire mid-match, and in the end, after a frosty farewell, the Romanian didn't hesitate to chastise the Japanese player for constantly shouting encouragement, pushing her patience to the limit, especially between first and second serves.
It's not very clear who says "C'mon" between serves, but if it's Osaka then Sorana is right, that's very poor sportsmanship from Osaka. pic.com/l5KIJc0GFZ

The Italian appeared at a press conference after defeating Duckworth and made a declaration of love for tennis, placing Djokovic and Wawrinka as great inspirations.
Sorana Cirstea has said goodbye to the Australian Open forever, not only with a defeat but also with tremendous anger towards her conqueror, Naomi Osaka. The Japanese player was very tense throughout the match and in the third set, she let out many loud "Come ons." This seemed to upset the Romanian, who reproached her at the end of the match after a frosty greeting. When asked about it in the post-match interview, Osaka explained the issue.
The tension in handshake moments in women's matches is incredible.

Such tension at the net.
Cirstea was really annoyed at Osaka for her 'Come ons!' between points.

“What did it take to get through that one?”
Naomi: “Apparently a lot of come ons that she was angry about. Whatever. She’s a great player. I think this was her last Australian Open. Sorry she was mad… pic.com/uCODMBfnKD
