Lesia Tsurenko publishes a harsh letter against Steve Simon, speaking about harassment, pressure, and panic attacks.
It had been six months since she last played a professional match, and Bianca Andreescu returned to the courts today after her appendix operation last February, although the outcome was not entirely satisfying. The Canadian was defeated in three sets, in a tightly contested match against Suzan Lamens, with a score of 6-1 4-6 7-6. Despite the loss, Bianca showed great determination and a level that will surely improve for the upcoming tournaments.

The clay court season is here, and with it, Iga Swiatek hopes to smile again after a period away from the main headlines of major tournaments. In an event where she feels almost at home, like at the WTA Stuttgart, where she has only lost one match in her entire career, the Polish player started her tour with a solid victory over Jana Fett with a double 6-2 score. Iga is back, so her rivals better get ready for the next month and a half.

These are not good times for Elena Rybakina. The Kazakh player made headlines at the beginning of this year due to the issue with her former coach, Vukov, which led to the departure of Ivanisevic. In addition, her results have not been as desired, and next week, Elena will drop out of the Top 10 for the first time in over two years. She won't be able to defend the 500 points she earned last year in Stuttgart as she couldn't participate in this year's edition. Rybakina will fall to the eleventh position in the WTA Ranking starting next week.

Good for her. She says she got too "heated" and that's not how she should behave.
We have all said something in the heat of the moment that we later regret. https://t.co/eSw4AoGPlo pic.twitter.com/BuTvlQboXz

The relationship between Mirra Andreeva and her coach, Conchita Martínez, could not be better. The Russian player had just defeated her sister Erika 6-2 1-0 and retirement when she surprised everyone by taking the microphone and singing happy birthday in English. The recipient of those musical notes was none other than her coach, who turns 53 on April 16, 2025. The entire stadium had a great time at that moment, leaving a heartfelt image between them.

Bad luck for the Andreeva sisters in their first professional-level encounter together. Mirra Andreeva ended up winning the match against her sister Erika in the WTA Stuttgart 2025. Mirra was superior throughout the match, but it was evident that her younger sister was injured, as she showed a bandage covering her knee. Erika couldn't continue and withdrew from the match while trailing 6-2 1-0. Both embraced at the end of the match, as neither was happy to end it that way.
