WTA Beijing 2025: Cristina Bucsa manages to advance through the preliminary stage

Cristina Bucsa is having a great season and has demonstrated her high level of confidence by being able to overcome the qualifying stage of the WTA 1000 Beijing 2025. The Chinese tournament closed the entry list before the leap to the qualifying level achieved by the Spaniard at the US Open, so she was forced to compete in the qualifying round. The Santander native, currently ranked 67th in the world, didn't hesitate and secured her spot in the main draw after defeating Ngounoue and Carlé.

The Shanghai tournament suffers a very significant withdrawal

There is more than a week left before the start of the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2025, but we have already learned about the absence of a player who has been plagued by injuries this season and who cannot find the necessary rhythm to return to the level of months ago, as is the case with Arthur Fils. The former champion from last year in Tokyo will not be able to compete in the Chinese event due to ongoing discomfort. Mariano Navone enters in his place.

The data that puts Bublik on par with Alcaraz, Sinner, and Zverev this season

The year 2025 will be a difficult one to forget for Alekander Bublik. The Kazakh player has shown unusual consistency on clay, reaching the quarterfinals at Roland Garros and winning the titles in Kitzbuhel and Gstaad. He has also maintained his level on grass, winning the trophy in Halle, and on hard courts, where he just reached the final of the ATP event in Hangzhou. While not completely leaving behind his artistry, his tennis displays more order, leading him to break into the Top 20 and reach four ATP finals in 2025, achieving this on each of the three surfaces of the tour. Only three other players have accomplished this in the season: Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Alexander Zverev.

Federer, contrary to slow courts: "The speed of the ball and the courts is the same every week"

Roger Federer was spotted in San Francisco this weekend for the celebration of the 2025 Laver Cup. He took the opportunity to appear on Andy Roddick's podcast 'Serve with Andy Roddick', where he stated that tennis courts should be even faster than they already are: "We not only need faster courts, but we also want to see Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner solve the issue with ultra-fast speed and then play the same match at super-slow speed to see how they compare. This is because tournament directors have allowed the ball speed and court speed to essentially be the same every week. That's why you can go from winning, I don't know, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open, playing the same way," stated the 20-time Grand Slam champion.

Bublik in a new ATP final after a great week.

ATP Hangzhou 2025: Bublik stays sweet and meets newcomer Royer in the final

Alexander Bublik continues in a sweet moment. The change in surface and tour hasn't bothered the Kazakh player, who competes in any tournament and reaches his fourth final of the season at the ATP Hangzhou 2025. Local player Wu Yibing was in great form, but Bublik dismantled him with precision in a flawless performance (6-3, 6-3). Averaging a 9.6 rating with his serve, Bublik now reaches an ATP final on all three surfaces this season, a sign of his tremendous evolution. In the title clash, he will face the surprising Valentin Royer, who secured another impressive victory after comfortably defeating Corentin Moutet (6-3, 6-2). It will be his first time competing for an ATP trophy in an unforgettable week: he will break into the top 75 of the rankings for the first time in his career.

Stefanos Tsitsipas, in his last participation in the US Open, where he fell to Altmaier.

Tsitsipas denies having undergone surgery to treat his back

In recent weeks, the information coming from Greece indicated that Stefanos Tsitsipas had undergone a small back operation. The aim was clear: to address the recurring issues the Greek player was experiencing in that area. However, days later, Stef clarified on his Instagram that he has not undergone any back surgery and that he is "well". It appears that the only recent treatment the Greek player received involved two cortisone injections before his Davis Cup matches, but nothing related to any operation.
