😱 Venus has a strategy, and she’s sticking to it:

✅ Get a wild card for a tournament
✅ Lose in the very first match

History repeated itself in Guangzhou: the former world No. 1 managed to win only four games against world No. 53 Lilly Tagger, falling 2–6, 2–6.

☝️ No one has done this this season!

Daniil Medvedev’s Almaty title came with some huge milestones:

After losing the opening set, Andreeva won two straight sets against Yuan 3-6, 6-0, 6-0.

⚡️ An all-Russian semifinal awaits us in Hangzhou

Rublev, Safiullin, and Medvedev have advanced to the semifinals of the tournament in China — though not without a struggle. And at least one of them is guaranteed a spot in the final!

🔥 IS US TENNIS UNDER THREAT?

Padel is booming in the U.S.: its audience is up 14.5%, with more than 1 million players 🎾

It’s even outpacing pickleball, which led growth for five straight years but is up just 1.3% in H1 2026 🤔

More than just a trend?
