Czech world number 53 Tomas Machac has pulled out of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia singles draw with illness. Daniil Medvedev advances on walkover, and several other matches have been rescheduled.

Dino Prizmic walked onto Campo Centrale to face his idol and walked off having beaten him for the first time. The Croatian qualifier (No 79) stunned Novak Djokovic (No 4) 2-6, 6-2, 6-4, ending the Serbian’s 18-match unbeaten run in Rome openers and adding a second top-10 scalp to a résumé that did not have one a fortnight ago.

Italian wild card Matteo Arnaldi pulled off the first upset of the Rome second round on Friday, beating world number eight Alex de Minaur 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-4 in just under three hours. He now faces 19-year-old Spaniard Rafael Jodar.

Austrian teenager Lilli Tagger spoke after her Rome second-round defeat to Maria Sakkari about the rarest shot in the women’s game, and why she switched to it at twelve.

In her pre-tournament press conference in Rome, Iga Swiatek gave her first substantive read on her new coaching partnership with Francisco Roig.

Iga Swiatek explained her early exit from the Madrid Open in her pre-tournament press conference in Rome, describing the illness that derailed her week and confirming she is back at full training.

Jannik Sinner became the first man to win five Masters 1000 titles in a row in Madrid. After the final, he addressed Alexander Zverev’s claim of a “big difference” at the top – and left his Rome participation hanging.

Sinner (No 1) beat Zverev (No 2) 6-1, 6-2 in 59 minutes, won 13 consecutive sets against him, and made history. Five consecutive Masters titles. No player had done it since the series began in 1990.

After winning her first WTA 1000 title in Madrid, Marta Kostyuk opens up about the weight of being a teenage prodigy, leaving her mother’s coaching, and arriving, now aged 23, on her own terms.

Kostyuk (No 26) beat Andreeva (No 9) 6-3, 7-5, and won every clay match she played in 2026. She came to Madrid as the 26th seed. She left as champion and new World No.15.

On Thursday in Rome, Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic each addressed the prospect of a Grand Slam boycott over prize money.

Roland-Garros Opening Week 2026: dates, tickets from €15, qualifying schedule, activities and unmissable events. Everything you need to know.

Connected devices on court, human line judges, a new food destination, real-time crowd tracking, Benjamin Millepied at the finals — here’s everything that’s new at Roland-Garros 2026.

Patrick Mouratoglou believes Jannik Sinner heads into Roland-Garros with a margin of superiority comparable to Rafael Nadal’s during the Spaniard’s peak years at the French Open.

Roland-Garros 2026 offers a total prize fund of €61.723 million. Singles winners take home €2.8 million each. Here’s the full breakdown round by round, from qualifying to the finals, including doubles and wheelchair events.

Less than 24 hours after the French Tennis Federation defended its prize money model, Aryna Sabalenka has put the boycott word on the record. Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina and Jasmine Paolini have lined up behind her. Iga Swiatek, alone among the top names, called the idea “extreme”.

As twenty of the world’s top players challenge Grand Slam prize money levels, the French Tennis Federation responds by detailing a 61.7 M€ purse for Roland-Garros 2026, defending its non-profit model, and offering “direct dialogue” with the RedEye committee ahead of the tournament.

They have no official name, no press office and no public platform. But Project RedEye – the informal alliance of tennis’s twenty biggest names – is running out of patience with the Grand Slams.

Tennis’s twenty biggest names have said, collectively and on the record, that Roland-Garros is growing its revenues faster than it is paying the people who generate them. The tournament begins in three weeks. The dialogue, by the players’ own account, has not started.

Now ranked outside the top 70, the Greek is struggling for confidence and while his father remains in his coaching camp, things are unlikely to change

Jannik Sinner has spent the Madrid Open quietly admitting he is tired. With Rome and Roland-Garros looming, the world number one is navigating a familiar dilemma, and a familiar illusion.

The 21-year-old Frenchman spent a semi-final defeat identifying the precise cost of his greatest strength. What he did with that knowledge was something else entirely.

Indian Wells. Miami. Monte Carlo. The world No. 1 didn’t just return from a sluggish start to the season – he came back and demolished the competition. Here is how he did it. Once upon a time in California…

Sunday’s Monte-Carlo Masters final brings the first Alcaraz–Sinner clash of the year, on clay, with the world number one ranking at stake. Everyone was waiting for it — the players most of all, for whom facing each other is the only way to know where they truly stand.

Teen prospect Joao Fonseca dazzles on debut in Monte-Carlo, but as he measures himself against Alcaraz and Sinner, the Brazilian knows that patience, humility and hard work – not hype – will shape his rise.

Ten years on from her breakthrough in Doha, Jelena Ostapenko remains one of the most popular players on the tour. While the strengths of her game remain the same, the Latvian talks about why she is different from the teenager who won the French Open in 2017

Jannik Sinner brushed aside questions about his Roland-Garros favouritism and paid a heartfelt tribute to an injured Carlos Alcaraz on Friday.

The reigning Roland Garros champion will forfeit 3,000 ranking points as rival Jannik Sinner stands to benefit most from his absence.

The top two are almost 8,000 points ahead of No 3 Alexander Zverev and are mopping up every tile, but is it becoming too boring?

Indian Wells. Miami. Monte Carlo. The world No. 1 didn’t just return from a sluggish start to the season – he came back and demolished the competition. Here is how he did it. Once upon a time in California…

A 7-6, 6-3 victory over the reigning champion ends Alcaraz’s 22-week reign at the top of the rankings, hands Sinner his 67th week at No. 1 —–and delivers his first title on clay at the highest level.

Alcaraz arrives on clay having lost just once in two years on the surface. Sinner arrives having spent exactly as many weeks at world No. 1 as his opponent: 66. Only one of them leaves with the right to add a 67th.

Sunday’s Monte-Carlo Masters final brings the first Alcaraz–Sinner clash of the year, on clay, with the world number one ranking at stake. Everyone was waiting for it — the players most of all, for whom facing each other is the only way to know where they truly stand.

From Paris to Monte-Carlo, Jannik Sinner was untouchable at the sport’s biggest stages — winning 17 consecutive Masters 1000 matches in straight sets before Tomáš Macháč finally took a set from him in the fourth round at Monte-Carlo.

Carlos Alcaraz lost to Sebastian Korda in Miami but refused to sound the alarm, pointing to a positive week’s work and a clay season he can’t wait for.

Carlos Alcaraz lost for the first time in 2026 on Saturday, and he was the first to say why – Daniil Medvedev played a match the world No. 1 had never seen from him before. Three reasons explain the defeat, and none of them have much to do with excuses.

Rafael Nadal dismissed the “prospect” label for world number one Carlos Alcaraz and questioned how many major opportunities remain for Novak Djokovic.

Following a grueling Australian Open final against Carlos Alcaraz, the 10-time champion showed immense grace in defeat, reflecting on his two-decade journey in Melbourne and a surprising run to the championship match.

Following a historic five-set victory over Jannik Sinner at the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic reflects on defying the “experts” who tried to retire him, his strategic recovery for the final, and why this semifinal stands as his finest performance in years. This is most of the quotes Novak delivered at the flash quotes spot in Melbourne after 2:00 am.

Now that the intensity and need is no longer there, it seems the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are letting go much of their past.

Roger Federer spoke at the Australian Open on Thursday ahead of Saturday’s Opening Ceremony and exhibition match. Here are the 9 key takeaways from his press conference.

Novak Djokovic has severed ties with the PTPA, the breakaway union he co-founded in 2020, citing deep-seated concerns over transparency and governance.

Roger Federer returns to Melbourne for AO opening night exhibition alongside Andre Agassi and Lleyton Hewitt. He hasn’t played in Melbourne since 2020.

Rafael Nadal reflected in an interview on his competitive yet respectful rivalry with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, stating that he has grown to appreciate his rivals and is proud of the shared history.

Swiss legend Roger Federer will join tennis immortals at August ceremony.

Novak Djokovic secured his 101st career title on Saturday, defeating Lorenzo Musetti 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 in a physically demanding 2-hour, 58-minute final at the Vanda Pharmaceuticals Hellenic Championship in Athens.

“Longevity is one of my biggest motivations,” Djokovic said in Riyadh, downplaying any impression that he might retire soon.

Roger Federer is set to make his long-awaited return to the court in front of a crows this autumn, in a special exhibition doubles event at the Rolex Shanghai Masters.
