Gauff Advances in Melbourne, But Serve Still Whispers Warnings

Mirra Andreeva Finds Her Feet Again in Brisbane, One Match at a Time
Mirra Andreeva did not stride into 2026 announcing herself. She edged in, breathless but standing, the kind of opening-night win that says more about survival than sparkle. A 4:6, 6:1, 6:2 escape against Olivia Gadecki at the Brisbane International was hardly flawless, yet after a brittle end to 2025 it was precisely the sort of…

Aryna Sabalenka’s 2025: No.1 All Year, Two Titles in the States, and the Fine Art of Not Folding
Aryna Sabalenka spent 2025 doing the hardest thing in tennis: staying on top while everyone takes their best swing at you.

Iga Swiatek’s 2025: A Wimbledon Crown, a Paris Fall, and the Strange Shape of No.2
Iga Swiatek spent 2025 living in the penthouse without quite owning it. She delivered the year’s most ruthless scoreline on the sport’s biggest lawn, lifted a hard-court title, and still watched her season repeatedly slip sideways at the moments when she normally tightens the screws. For a player built on control, 2025 was oddly full…

WTA 2026 Watch: Who Has the Least Ranking Pressure at the Start of the Season?
The WTA calendar has a habit of biting back.

But for a select group, January arrives with opportunity rather than anxiety. With minimal points…

Coco Gauff’s 2025: Peaks on Clay, Silence Elsewhere, and a Season Salvaged Late
Coco Gauff began 2025 as world No.3, a fixture of the elite and a player expected to press hard on the very biggest prizes. What followed was a season of sharp contrasts.

On Christmas Day of the WTA season assessments, after working through 36 others, we arrive at the Top 4. Amanda Anisimova earns that place not on reputation, but on evidence.

“Destined for a Major”: Corretja’s Bold Bet on Paula Badosa’s Unfinished Story
Paula Badosa’s career has never followed a straight line. It has surged, stalled, and staggered under the weight of injuries — yet belief in her ceiling has never really faded.

Elena Rybakina’s 2025: Inconsistent Early, Unstoppable When It Counted
There were weeks in 2025 when Elena Rybakina looked unstoppable, and months when she looked merely mortal. The difference was rarely about talent.

Rybakina did not dominate…

According to Kasatkina, the women’s game…

Yet inside her own family, success is measured less by points than by whether the journey…

Iga Swiatek’s Coach Wim Fissette on the Mental Switch Behind Her Wimbledon Miracle
Winning Wimbledon was never meant to be part of Iga Swiatek’s script for 2025. Not after a bruising clay season, not after doubts crept in where dominance once lived. And yet, as Wim Fissette now reflects, that improbability is precisely why this year may echo longest. A Title That Defied Logic — And History For…

Fast-Forward Fame and the Cost of Growing Up: Why Elena Dementieva Sees a Bigger 2026 for Mirra Andreeva
Mirra Andreeva did not ease her way into the elite in 2025. She burst through the door, rearranged the furniture and left the tour scrambling to recalibrate its expectations.

Madison Keys’ 2025: Power Fulfilled, Fragility Exposed, Belonging Undeniable
Madison Keys has always lived on the edge of certainty. When the ball listens, she looks untouchable. When it doesn’t, the margins turn brutal fast.
