To put it briefly
Will Kyrgios ever stop attacking Jannik Sinner?

If it were up to Nick Kyrgios, Jannik Sinner would be hearing it all day long. It seems that the Australian has nothing better to do than seize every opportunity to publicly remind everyone of the poor sportsmanship displayed by the world No. 1 for testing positive in a doping control. This is exactly what Alexandre Muller was complaining about yesterday, as the 'vampires' visited him at the Rio Open well past midnight… enough for Kyrgios to join in: "Just say ‘I don’t know’ and then make it your team’s fault in case steroids are found,” Canberra's own threw in with quite a touch of sarcasm.

Rio Open 2025: Munar falls and the draw is left without Spaniards

Three Spaniards appeared in the final draw of the ATP 500 in Rio, but none have been able to reach the quarterfinals. Jaume Munar, the only one who managed to debut with a victory, fell on Thursday in the second round against the Portuguese player Jaime Faria (6-4, 2-6, 6-3), who seems to be one of the big surprises of the season. We will see how the tournament evolves in the coming days with Alexander Zverev, who, barring a major upset, is a clear favorite for the title.

Medvedev explains the reason for his withdrawal from ATP Doha 2025

After several minutes of uncertainty, the ATP Doha 2025 has released a statement regarding Daniil Medvedev and his sudden withdrawal from the tournament: "Unfortunately, I suffered from food poisoning. I am very disappointed to end my campaign here in Doha this way, although I feel I was playing well. I hope to return next year." The Russian hopes to be in Dubai next week.

 

Tough day for "mojarrismo" after Fede Coria's latest decision

Any follower of Federico Coria will surely be a fan of his Youtube videos. Therefore, anyone who follows his videos will also be a fan of 'Gringo' Schneiter, the coach who has been by his side during these past years, often featuring in the channel with the famous card games. A friendship that, however, separates their paths professionally. This is what the Argentine announced in the last few hours, explaining that he will now embark on a new journey hand in hand with other coaches: Walter Grinovero and Kevin Konfederak.

ATP Doha 2025: Draper eats Berrettini's toast

Matteo Berrettini came so close to defeating Jack Draper tonight that surely the thought crossed his mind of stepping onto the court tomorrow to play the semifinal of the ATP 500 in Doha against Jiri Lehecka. He had won the first set and was tied 4-4 in the second, just a few points away from his goal, but there his dream ended. The British player revived with an immeasurable level to turn the tide and ultimately claim victory (4-6, 6-4, 6-3). A tough blow for Matteo, who had managed to defeat Djokovic a few days ago. A joy for Draper, who will be back on the center court tomorrow.

The semifinals are set as follows:

  • J Lehecka vs. [8] J Draper
  • F Auger-Aliassime vs. [5] A Rublev
Schedule and where to watch on TV and online the semifinals of the ATP Doha 2025

We already know the schedules for the two semifinals of the ATP Doha 2025. The first of them will take place in the third slot of the central court, not before 6:00 PM local time, that is, not before 4:00 PM Spanish peninsular time. At that time, Andrey Rublev and Felix Auger Aliassime will compete for the top spot in the final. Following that will be the match between the winner of Alcaraz/Lehecka and Berrettini/Draper.

 

Berrettini: "I have defeated two very strong players, it has been a great week"

Surely Matteo Berrettini, upon seeing the draw for the ATP 500 in Doha, thought that this week would not bring him great joys. Facing Novak Djokovic in the first round, what can you do but confront him as best as you can and hope to bring a high level of tennis. In the end, things didn't turn out so bad for him, defeating the Serbian and also Tallon Griekspoor. Last night, we saw him surrender to Jack Draper in the quarterfinals. Perhaps when everyone already saw him as the favorite, still, the Italian wanted to focus on the positives before heading to his next tournament.

“The bitterness is there because I could have played another great match, fortunately the season is long. I felt superior for a good part of the match, had everything under control, which is good. I don't remember playing so many matches on cement at this level; it's a shame to have made a couple of mistakes at 4-4 in the third set, although Jack (Draper) also responded very well. I've defeated two very strong players, so it's been a great week,” Matteo stated in comments collected by Il Tennis Italiano.

WTA Dubai 2025: Tauson and Muchova complete the semifinals

The semifinals of the Dubai 2025 WTA 1000 are set with a top half of the draw that is completely different from the bottom half. While Elena Rybakina and Mirra Andreeva will battle to secure a spot in the final, two names that could be contenders but not at the forefront, on the other side we will see Clara Tauson and Karolina Muchova working towards the same goal. We're talking about three seeded players – with only one in the top 10 – and an occasional invitee such as the Danish player. Predictions? It's better to wait until tomorrow and reveal our cards then.

Quarterfinal Results

  • [12] M Andreeva def. [2] I Swiatek: 63 63
  • C Tauson def. L Noskova: 76 64
  • [6] E Rybakina def. (WC) S Kenin: 62 76
  • [14] K Muchova def. (WC) S Cirstea: 62 75
WTA Dubai 2025: Rybakina knows how to suffer against Kenin

While the rest of the favorites fall in the 2025 WTA Dubai, the Kazakh continues at the top for now. Elena Rybakina, ranked 7th in the world, defeated Sofia Kenin with a score of 6-2, 7-6(2) in 1 hour and 27 minutes in the quarterfinal match. A very positive result for Elena who makes it clear that she focuses on what happens on the court, leaving aside all the controversy with her former coach. Her next opponent will be Mirra Andreeva.

ATP Rio Open 2025. Alexandre Muller keeps shining

We can say that Alexandre Muller did not quite manage his first career title well, obtained precisely in the first tournament of this season, in Hong Kong. Since then, three early rounds in the Australian Open, Rosario, and Buenos Aires. Something seems to have changed this week at the ATP Rio Open 2025, where he has already knocked out Joao Fonseca (6-1, 7-6) and Tomás Martín Etcheverry (7-5, 7-6), a sweet reunion with victories after that period of difficulty. This afternoon, he will have to face Fran Cerúndolo, let's see if the magic lasts.

Quarterfinals draw:

  • [1] A Zverev vs. F Comesaña
  • [4] F Cerúndolo vs. A Muller
  • [5] S Báez vs. (Q) C Tseng
  • (LL) C Ugo Carabelli vs. (LL) J Faria
ATP Doha 2025: Rublev unleashes the beast with an epic victory over De Minaur

After saving a match point in the final tiebreak, Andrey Rublev ended up being crowned champion of an absolutely epic battle at ATP Doha 2025. The Russian, ranked 10th in the world, defeated Alex De Miñaur with a score of 6-1, 3-6, and 7-6(8) in 2 hours and 42 minutes of play. A soothing result for a Rublev who continues to aim for the top of the circuit. Andrey confirms his spot in the semifinals, where he awaits the winner of Auger-Aliassime vs Medvedev.

Alcaraz reveals when was the last time he spoke with Nadal

Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal starred in some of the most unforgettable moments of Spanish tennis in 2024. Their partnership at the Paris Olympics excited everyone and showcased the great relationship between them: when asked about his friendship with Rafa on SPORT, the Murcian didn't dodge the question and confessed that he has "not spoken to Rafa" since his retirement in the Davis Cup, pointing out that "he deserves to be peaceful with his family, enjoying what he couldn't before". However, Alcaraz acknowledged that he saw Nadal's congratulations on social media after his title in Rotterdam and is "sure" that he will soon have a chance to talk to him.

Carlos Alcaraz is already gearing up for the ATP Doha 2025. After clinching the ATP Rotterdam title indoors, it's time to switch to the outdoor courts of Qatar. The tournament was supposed to feature Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, and Carlos Alcaraz together, but ultimately the Italian won't be able to compete due to a three-month suspension for two Clostebol positives in 2024.

However, Alcaraz acknowledged that he saw Nadal's congratulations on social media after his title in Rotterdam and is "sure" that he will soon have a chance to talk to him.

First day of competition in the final draw of the ATP Doha 2025 on a Monday, February 17 packed with thrilling matches.

It could be the final match as a professional for the Spaniard, who will play doubles with Nole and face the duo formed by Bublik and Khachanov not before 16:00 in the afternoon.

Thiem and the worst of facing Nadal at Roland Garros: "It's very frustrating"

Dominic Thiem and Rafa Nadal gave us a beautiful rivalry that ended positively for the Spaniard with 10 victories, compared to the 5 of the Austrian. Interestingly, both retired in 2024, the year they faced each other for the last time in Brisbane. In a recent interview with Relevo, Thiem talked about what it was like to face the manacorí at Roland Garros, where he has never won and where he lost two finals in 2018 and 2019. "Honestly, now, from a distance, I am very proud of those two finals against him. Playing just one Grand Slam final is an incredible achievement. It's very hard to get there. It's two very tough weeks of the tournament, and when I think about it, I had the opportunity to play twice against the greatest player in history at Roland Garros. Rafa won the tournament 14 times, and two of those times were against me. It's something that makes me proud".

Djokovic, the third player in history to reach 1,000 consecutive weeks in the ATP top-100 ranking

Novak Djokovic has become on this Monday the third player to reach the staggering milestone of 1,000 consecutive weeks among the top 100 in the world. It was July 4, 2005 when the Serbian tennis player first entered the top-100 of the ATP ranking, a club he has not left since then. The only ones to reach this milestone previously were the other members of the Big 3, with Roger Federer notching up 1,165 straight weeks, while Rafael Nadal reached 1,029 weeks.
