🇺🇦 Ukrainian tennis today: a tale of two sides 🎾 ATP (Men’s): • No Ukrainians in the Top 150 • Highest: Vitaliy Sachko – No. 164 WTA (Women’s): • 5 players in the Top 150 💪 → Svitolina (14) → Kostyuk (26) → Yastremska (27) → Oliynykova (109) → Starodubtseva (116)

@pavyg Every athlete represents its country. So it's impossible

Great celebration from Marta Kostyuk as she wins her maiden WTA 1000 Title, but the fact she wouldn't shake 19 year old Mirra Andreevas hand or even acknowledge her in her winning speech, is not a good look for Tennis. Athletes aren't politicians.

@pavyg Class act? She is literally liked numerous posts on Instagram where Russian's president has been praised. How Ukrainian player can shake hands with 'this' so called neutral athlete

Mirra Andreeva is a class act she congratulated Marta Kostyuk and her team for winning the title, despite Kostyuk not shaking her hand. 🙏

@Djoko_UTD She has every right not to do it. This 'neutral' Andreeva is a big fan of Russian's president

Shaking your teenage opponents hand is much easier than this…

@pavyg @TheTennisLetter @JeffreyDon30026 Maybe bacause this 'neutral' Andreeva never said she is against the war

@TheTennisLetter @JeffreyDon30026 But not handshake with teenager Mirra Andreeva at the end of the match?

Marta Kostyuk celebrates winning her 1st WTA 1000 title in Madrid by doing a BACKFLIP on court AURA.

@josemorgado Huge win for Marta. Unbelievable last two weeks 🔥😍

Marta Kostyuk defeats Mirra Andreeva 6-3, 7-5 to win her first WTA 1000 title in Madrid. Having an UNBELIEVABLE month with two titles and 12 consecutive wins 🔥 Will make her top 15 debut and up to #9 in the Race!

@ademshifa @ItzzZain10 Carlos is a unique person in every aspect 😅

@ItzzZain10 How come a 60 minute match takes you on a ride of emotions, only Carlos can do that 😂

Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Bublik just played the worst match of 2026 I'm shaking in disgust. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@josemorgado What a point from Alcaraz to earn the matchpoint on Rublev's serve 🤯 How on earth did he run to this dropshot 😱

Carlos Alcaraz defeats Andrey Rublev 7-6(3), 6-4 to reach a first final in Doha. 11-0 in 2026 29 consecutive wins on outdoor hardcourts 12 finals in his last 13 tournaments 34 career finals at 22yo

@BastienFachan No, Carlos won Rotterdam in 2025 before losing in Doha

2025: - #1 Sinner wins the Australian Open - #2 Alcaraz loses to Djokovic at the Australian Open and Lehecka of Czech Republic in Doha QFs 2026: - #1 Alcaraz wins the Australian Open - #2 Sinner loses to Djokovic at the Australian Open and Mensik of Czech Republic in Doha QFs

@TheTennisLetter Outstanding serving from Jakub. But his game from the baseline was 🔥

Mensik d. Sinner 7-6 2-6 6-3 Jakub reaches back-to-back Doha semifinals What a performance That's 10 straight wins for Jakub. He pulled out of the 4th round at AO and took almost a month off recovering from an abdominal injury ✅2nd Doha SF ✅5th tour-level SF ✅9th top 10 win But he picked up right where he left off. 20 years old... so talented. It's going to be a big year for this kid. 🇨🇿

@josemorgado Fantastic serving from Jakub but he also was really good in rallies. Great match 👏

WHAT A WIN! 2024 runner up Jakub Mensik defeats world #2 Jannik Sinner 7-6(3), 2-6, 6-3 to reach the semifinals in Doha against fellow young star Arthur Fils. One of the best wins of his life

@TheTennisLetter Ridnerknech played really good today, great effort but Carlos is Carlos

Alcaraz beats Arthur Rinderknech 6-4 7-6 Carlos wins his first match since becoming the youngest man to complete the Career Grand Slam at the Australian Open. Still undefeated in 2026. 8 wins, 0 losses. He’s now 5-0 against Arthur. ✅2nd Doha R16 Strong start. 🇪🇸

@Djoko_UTD Not including Svitolina and Monfils is a crime

Top 10 Tennis Couples, 2026 : 1) Alex de Minaur 🇦🇺 & Katie Boulter 🇬🇧 2) Tommy Paul 🇺🇸 & Paige Lorenze 🇺🇸 3) Taylor Fritz 🇺🇸 & Morgan Riddle 🇺🇸 4) Ben Shelton 🇺🇸 & Trinity Rodman 🇺🇸 5) Jannik Sinner 🇮🇹 & Laila Hasanovic 🇩🇰 6) Sebastian Korda 🇺🇸 & Ivana Nedved 🇨🇿 7) Stefanos Tsitsipas 🇬🇷 & Kirsten Thoms 🇺🇸 8) Madison Keys 🇺🇸 & Bjorn Fratangelo 🇺🇸 9) Daniil Medvedev 🇷🇺 & Daria Medvedeva 🇷🇺 10) Casper Ruud 🇳🇴 & Maria Galligani 🇳🇴

WTF happened with Malinin. 8th place when everybody thought he would be a winner The biggest upset in this Olympics 😬

@TheTennisLetter Carlos Alcaraz, magician 🎩. Novak tried everything, but Carlos had answers to everything. The most talented player we have ever seen

Alcaraz beats Novak Djokovic 2-6 6-2 6-3 7-5 at the Australian Open Carlos becomes the youngest man in history to complete the Career Grand Slam. He is also the first player to EVER beat Novak in an Australian Open final. Still undefeated in 2026. ✅7th Grand Slam title ✅1st Australian Open title 22 years old. What a player he’s becoming. What a career we’re witnessing. 🇪🇸

@josemorgado What a player. Novak gave absolutely everything today, but Carlos is just on different level. Best player we have seen 💥

HISTORIC. 22 year old Carlos Alcaraz defeats 24-time GS champ Novak Djokovic 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 to win the #AusOpen for the 1st time and become the YOUNGEST EVER player to complete the career Grand Slam. Already one of the best players ever. What a time to be alive.

@sebsharfam2 Cold celebration is also can be iconic 😅 She's just different from the rest

The réactions of a second slam champion not much difference with Wimbledon lol

@josemorgado She literally gifted this win to Rybakina. After having a break in the 3rd set she thought the win is in her pocket. But she couldn't be more wrong

A short speech from Sabalenka, who is now 4-4 in Grand Slam finals.

@TheTennisLetter After getting a break in the 3rd set, Sabalenka thought she won the match 😂 But Rybakina just went to the next gear after that and won it all

THE MOMENT ELENA RYBAKINA BEAT ARYNA SABALENKA AT THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN TO WIN HER 2ND GRAND SLAM TITLE She’s now won TEN consecutive matches against top 10 players Absolutely insane what this young lady is capable of No words… just scenes. 🥹🥹🥹🥹

@josemorgado She's just different. If it was Sabalenka she would roar after the win. But Rybakina's celebration is so cold 🥶

Loved the non celebration from Rybakina 😅

@TheTennisLetter Great comeback in the 3rd set from Rybakina. But could she smile more, please 😅 She won a Grand Slam but looked like it was a random match

Rybakina d. Aryna Sabalenka 6-4 4-6 6-4 ELENA IS AN AUSTRALIAN OPEN CHAMPION. Down 0-3 in the 3rd set. Only 1 set dropped all tournament. She beat Iga Swiatek, Jessica Pegula, and Aryna Sabalenka back to back to back to win the title. Won 20 of her last 21 matches. ✅2nd Grand Slam title ✅9th win over world #1 ✅34th top 10 win She will leave Australia ranked #3 in the world… But there is no question about who the best tennis player in the world is right now. 🇰🇿🩵🇰🇿
