The story of Belinda Bencic at the WTA Abu Dhabi ended with a happy ending. The Swiss player, who had returned to the circuit just 100 days ago, has just become the tournament's winner for the second time in three years. Bencic achieves her ninth career title, but the first since becoming a mother. That is why it is probably the most special of all, as less than a year ago she gave birth to her daughter who was there to witness Belinda's victory over Ashlyn Krueger by 4-6 6-1 6-1. A great comeback from the Swiss who will return to the top 100 next Monday.

The day ended at the WTA Cluj-Napoca after the two semifinal matches we had ahead. However, it ended up being slightly shorter than usual due to an untimely withdrawal. Katerina Siniakova had to retire due to injury in the first set of her match against Lucia Bronzetti when the Italian was leading 4-0. Thus, she will face off in the Romanian tournament final against Anastasia Potapova, who advanced after defeating Aliaksandra Sasnovich 6-3, 7-5.

The first semifinal of the ATP Rotterdam 2025 didn't hold much mystery for Alex de Miñaur, who managed to dismantle the tournament's surprise, Mattia Bellucci. The Australian was a whirlwind, solid from the baseline, in great shape, and displaying a level unreachable for his opponent. The Italian had some magical points, but couldn't prevent De Miñaur from soaring into his second consecutive final there in the Dutch city (6-1 6-2). Now, the Aussie will step into his first final of the season and already awaits either Carlos Alcaraz or Hubert Hurkacz. On the other hand, thanks to this victory, Alex overtakes Novak Djokovic in the rankings to sit at number 6.

Next week will kick off a new edition of the ATP Marseille (February 10 to 16), a tournament led by Daniil Medvedev. The Russian will have a new opportunity to reset and find some good vibes after a rather concerning season start. As the second seed and defending champion, Ugo Humbert will act as the highest-ranked local among other French players like Richard Gasquet or Mpetshi Perricard. Additionally, Karen Khachanov, Hubert Hurkacz, and Stan Wawrinka will also be part of the draw. Let's see how the draw has turned out.

We will have one more Spaniard in the main draw of the WTA 1000 in Doha, as Cristina Bucsa has just advanced through the qualifying stage. After a great first match against Eikeri, where she only dropped one game, the Cantabrian defeated Laura Siegemund 6-2 7-6(2). Great comeback from Bucsa in that second set to prevent the German from converting the two set points she had. Thus, Cristina joins Paula Badosa in that main draw which starts tomorrow.

The ATP Rotterdam 2025 was questioning its participants in a questionnaire that mixes personal and tennis-related questions. Thus, the tournament shared the amusing video in which Carlos Alcaraz, Matteo Berrettini, and Stefanos Tsitsipas revealed when they had their first kiss, among other things. While the Spaniard disclosed that it was at 15 years old, the Greek confessed it wasn't until he was 21. They also had time to chat about broken hearts, with Tsitsipas and Berrettini being the most affected. Here's the full video!
It’s a tournament tradition that @Jan_Kooijman discusses some… interesting topics with our stars every year. 😉
