Tennis 2025

Alcaraz showing signs of a mini-slump, losing to David Goffin in 3 sets.

And sadly the decline of Daniil Medvedev continues to gather speed. Winning just 5 games against Jaume Munar is very worrying indeed.

A positive sign for Raducanu though, with a tough 3 set win over in-form top tenner Emma Navarro.
 
Navarro, other than vulturing an event she was way overranked for, has not been in great form this season in my opinion but I’ll not try and take the win away from Emma R, she stuck that one out.

I’m never sad to see Medvedev lose, just not a fan of how he speaks/has spoken to officials repeatedly in the past.

Sorry to sound so contrary!

When Medvedev struggled against Samrej and lost in the round to Tien in Australia I knew he'd be in for a tough season, he made the semis in Indian Wells so it's not a disastrous season though.
 
Shame to see Draper out at the first opportunity in Miami, but that's the case for all of the men's semi-finalists from Indian Wells, so at least it's not isolated to just Jack.

Not Radacanu through to the quarter finals of a WTA1000 event. A not unimpressive scoreline over Anisimova who's had some great results this year (not least knocking Andreeva out in the last round). I want to back Emma so badly, but she does make it hard most the time.

Pegula likely awaits next, and out of all the top seeds left, probably the most beatable, but we shall see....
 
She saw Sonay coming for the British no.2 spot and now she's a win away from overtaking Boulter to be no.1 again.

You do wonder if her childhood rival coming for her ranking has reignited a fire inside.... or could just be a good run... time will tell.
 
Pegula might have the crowd behind her, but she doesn't have stans like Raducanu does, so she could easily win this. I don't think Pegula is the force she once was either.

Alex Eala got a walkover after Badosa injured herself, she has Iga next. :shock:
 
Latest TEEN SENSATION Jakub Mensik faces resurgent Djokovic in Miami final. Come on Jakub LAD. He should be motivated to step up & show the old man the new generation has ARRIVED.

Meanwhile another Sabs Pegula hardcourt final.

He did indeed do it, in two tough tiebreak sets. I do think Djokovic has one final slam in him, but I think that's all he's got left in him at the top level. Of course he'd be capable of sticking around as a solid player for a few more years yet if that's what he wanted to do.

Sabs won to stretch her lead at the top further yet as Iga continues to flounder, losing to teenager Alexandra Eala.

Now it's on to the clay...
 
Zverev crashed out of the Monte Carlo Masters in his first match today and therefore is no longer able to take over the number 1 ranking before Sinner returns. What a terrible shame.:D
I got the sense that maybe his window had closed with all his horrid form after losing in Oz but I don't think we're quite OUT OF THE WOODS with him as a slam threat yet, especially with Alcaraz also out of form, but hopefully that's his number 1 opportunities gone. Fall from top 5 next please :disco:

Meanwhile, OUR JACK seizes his man of the moment status with a bit of SHIRTLESS MODELLING for Burberry :RuGlasses:

Jack really is very good looking. I don't really understand why with the results he's got and his ranking and his looks (and dare I say his gender too!), he doesn't seem to be more saleable than Raducanu as a British player. The press still seem to bang on about her more.
 
Short haired Musetti might be the prettiest guy on the tour right now.

Shame he ran out of steam after the first set of the Monte Carlo final, but the positive is that Alcaraz is back ahead of Zverev in the rankings so I'll take that.
