Queens 2026, R1: Mboko/Williams def. Melichar-Martinez/Routliffe 7-6, 6-2
don’t be mad at flavio, jakub, or rafa for losing. don’t be mad at sincaraz or taylor fritz for not being there to beat him. be mad at the slams and the atp for allowing him to play, to be a public figure.

MIRRA ANDREEVA
Lifts the trophy as the 2026 Roland-Garros champion. Via Instagram posts — @/rolandgarros + @/wta: Mirra reaches for the crown 👑
i hope mirra continues to thank herself!! self love and recognition as a young woman in such a mentally tough sport is really where it’s at
You know, it is incredibly inspiring to see Belinda Bencic, Elina Svitolina, Naomi Osaka play into a second week of slam while being mothers on tour and players like Sorana Cîrstea and Madison Keys reach highest wins of their careers after they turn 30. WTA can and should be represented by players with career longevity and a possibility to have a career after pregnancy. And all of those women play tennis of their lives an prove that it is absolutely possible to have longevity in a career that so often starts when women are literal teenagers, burn bright but quick and retire by the time they're 27. It is a privilege to be able to watch a career of any given players go on for decades, and we should appreciate that more.

JANNIK SINNER | CAREER GOLDEN MASTERS 🏆 ↳ the youngest ever to do it (insp)
daniil medvedev || landslide
Part of the musinner thesis has to be that Jannik sees Musetti's beautiful visage and beautiful tennis and rationally recognizes that according to Italian societal and tennis standards he's supposed to want/admire that, but he viscerally rejects it because of all the mess that goes along with it. Genuinely do not think that man would want to spend a day in Musetti's shoes because of the psychological ick (the "he's found stability" or whatever it was remark was so telling). And Musetti, who's so used to being admired, probably knows this in some way.
you're implying that the musinner relationship is somewhat personal (jannik's ick, lorenzo's hurt about the lack of admiration from jannik) but what if i tell you… it probably isn't? we don't know what goes on in their mind or heart, but for what we can see, they seem to get along just fine. they are not friends, sure, but there is no apparent animosity between them. even lorenzo's coldness about jannik's results after indian wells, or his remarks on jannik's luck at wimbledon 2025, sound to me as the results of a frustration directed not towards jannik per se, rather towards the imposing shadow of his aura, his results and real-time legacy, his inescapable certainty. which for lorenzo translate into a judgement on his own inconsistency, his (relatively) lack of big results, his legacy still under construction. imo it has very much to do with lorenzo's personality and the high regard he has of himself, that he can't see the perks of being n.2. paolo bertolucci, who spent his entire career under the shadow of adriano panatta, observed matter-of-factly that jannik's success actually protects lorenzo from the pressure of delivering immediate results. and i agree with him. imagine a world where berrettini is on the verge of retirement and the last slam final with an italian man in it is still wimbledon 2021. and italian's best in men's tennis is strong enough to be a top-10 contender and slam semifinalist, but weak enough to still be going out of a tournament on his favourite surface in r16 against lehecka. there'd be much more tomatoes thrown against lorenzo's beautiful face, for sure. and speaking of beauty…
there's certainly some kernel of truth about jannik knowing he's not the kind of hero italy wanted or expected. however, i feel that this has been somewhat exhaggerated by italian media, which somehow acts both as a pushback and a mirror of the sinnermania that has swept italy during the last two and a half years. in his home country, jannik is a bigger star than any footballer right now. when he played rome last year after the suspension, he was acclaimed like he had returned from war. in italian cities, you can see his face everywhere on ads plastered by the streets. he's courted by some of italy's biggest tv shows, which he has almost always declined to attend. and not enough has been said about italian moms' adoration for him. all of this without him having the kind of physical beauty or charisma usually associated with the sports' personalities that have transcended their sports and became idols for the masses. everybody knows who he is, not only tennis fans. the same cannot be said for musetti. i find it telling that the last article of the thriving genre «sinner is great, but he doesn't represent italianness», published on a daily newspaper, uses berrettini, not musetti, as the prototype of the true italian player. if we have to guess if there's an italian tennis player whose physical beauty jannik admired/wanted for himself, his friend matteo would be the one. he even jokingly implied it in an old interview they did together.
the thing is… if we talk about beautiful visage and beautiful tennis jannik would think he should aspire to, someone already came first in his opinion well before lorenzo. matteo was there first, with his personality and his heart (an italianate trait both jannik and lorenzo don't share). matteo, whose heart is so big it secures jannik's participation to the second consecutive davis cup victory. for beautiful tennis, it's carlos, of course. and how it can be different. years before the media frenzy surrounding sincaraz, there was the alicante challenger where jannik loses his string of victories against a 15-years-old. a beating so resounding he still talked about it in italian interviews more than a year later, when nobody knew who carlos was. a month after alicante, musetti and sinner play against each other in a pre-qualifying match for a wildcard in rome. lorenzo takes the only set he's ever taken against jannik to this day, and then loses the match. he doesn't have, for now, the kind of tennis that can seriously make jannik doubt of himself. make him reconsider his choices, his style of play. make him try to change: “i have to be less predictable” and all that, whatever it means. i don't see jannik, who is clearly focused on tuning off the external noise when it comes to become the best version possible of himself, stopping to think: oh, i should admire lorenzo's style. this doesn't mean he doesn't like it or that he despises it, or lorenzo. (his remarks on lorenzo's newfound stability are not exactly unthreaded ground: lore's struggles on tennis courts were very visible and publicly dissected at the time. otoh, if we go to see what jannik was saying in interviews to glossy magazines, spouse and kids as a necessary grounding force in the life of a professional athlete seem more of a projection of his own convictions than anything else.) but he doesn't think about lorenzo that way imo, because he doesn't need to. on an international level, it's carlos game that he's being unfavorably compared to, and he knows that. whenever carlos is not at a tournament, we see him giving apologies for not expressing the kind of brilliant tennis and exciting showmanship people pay their tickets to look at. and then of course there are the trophies. four grand slams, some defeats at carlos' hands that were heralded as masterpieces. while lorenzo still clings to the olympic (bronze) medal to his name as if it were a lifeline. so. does it hurt for lorenzo to not be seen as a real threat by italy's (and occasionally world's) n.1? i'd say he's more haunted by his own vanity, and by the scrutiny of others' eyes that his vanity makes him acutely aware of. but in the end, musinner's perceived clash is ultimately due to the external circumstances of them being both italians, not by their tennis or by their personalities. to gauge whether if and when it'll become a proper rivalry (tennis-wise and/or personality-wise), i recommend reading user @ radelulu's l'estasi dell'oro as a prophecy disguised in fate's divertissement.
