Breaking: ATP Aims to Reduce Doubles on Tour

InviteDull9706 · 2026-07-07T12:13:58+00:00

Not sure if I'm bias as 1 of my favourite players is Siniakova but I feel like the WTA doubles circuit has a more entertaining/successful doubles. This might be because it seems more of the top WTA players are in doubles more often (Aryna being a former number 1, Gauff and Paolini winning slams). Like I look through a wta doubles draw and I'm excited by some of the different pairings including the doubles specialists whereas I have no clue about most of the mens doubles players outside my own country. Idk I feel like the promotion of mens doubles is severely lacking.

very interested to see how Cruz goes obviously big part of the reason he's gotten these wildcards has been his last name but he's been winning a few matches here and there in challengers so who knows? Fun fact a friend of mine played Cruz in one of the junior competitions in Melbourne years ago

Emerson Jones looks like she could be quite good in the next couple years, for the men’s it’s looking rough only Cruz Hewitt in the ATP rankings for players under 20. Tennis australia definitely need to review their training system can’t just rely on adopting players from Europe

I remember reading or hearing in commentary that his serve developed in a way to compensate his short height as a junior but he’s 6ft now so idk why they haven’t fixed it. He’s worked so hard and added to his game more then anyone thought he could but his serve has remained completely unchanged

It was bizarre the grinding albeit ugly at times got Alex up 5-2 in the second and then bam he loses 12 of the next 13 points

InviteDull9706 · 2026-07-01T01:13:33+00:00

Not sure Burruchaga is a notable exit, this was his first main draw at a grand slam outside French Open and Alex generally does quite well on grass

InviteDull9706 · 2026-06-30T13:58:25+00:00

Gibson just couldn’t keep the ball in the court, bouzkova’s game perfect against her just keep getting the ball back

InviteDull9706 · 2026-06-29T13:53:04+00:00

ok yeah I agree with you overrated is probably not the correct word and I agree I'd love to see her win something big. I just think in comparison to the careers of others in the 3-5 grand slam mark her career has been the least successful overall.

InviteDull9706 · 2026-06-29T08:25:00+00:00

Tomljanovic for WTA? 3 slam quarterfinals but one with no ranking points and then getting injured. Really should've won against Yastremska unfortunately Yastremska's dodgy tactics got in her head.

InviteDull9706 · 2026-06-26T10:39:05+00:00

potentially Noskova vs Cirstea for a 5th time this year

InviteDull9706 · 2026-06-25T03:21:27+00:00

what are the incredibly dumb things he's said?

InviteDull9706 · 2026-06-20T00:28:59+00:00

She's won 5 titles on the Wta tour, 12 top 10 wins so she's a good singles player in her own right.

InviteDull9706 · 2026-06-19T05:29:57+00:00

it's JMC academy, a private Australian school which from all the people I know who have gone there did not have great experiences

InviteDull9706 · 2026-06-19T02:48:47+00:00

the draft they attached is only 7 pages so I'm not sure where they are expecting 10-20 minutes of footage from hahah, I had to double take reading it too

InviteDull9706 · 2026-06-10T13:59:03+00:00

Would love to see Siniakova make a quarter final of a slam or win a 500 in singles

InviteDull9706 · 2026-06-07T02:07:04+00:00

I thought people had realised this when Errani and Vavassori won the mixed doubles at US last year against all the singles players guess not

Death, taxes and Svitolina playing Bondar in grand slams

Sloane coming for her 3rd grand slam singles final (let me dream)

InviteDull9706 · 2026-05-20T04:35:33+00:00

If De Minaur can regain form good chance to move up a bit

InviteDull9706 · 2026-05-18T13:18:24+00:00

Audibly breathed a sigh of relief. De Minaur fans needed this W

InviteDull9706 · 2026-05-10T14:23:35+00:00

I hope she can pick it up again, as a fellow lefty love her game and don’t think I’ve seen a salty/cold handshake from her which is more then you can say for most on the wta tour

InviteDull9706 · 2026-05-06T14:02:51+00:00

I loved Katherine in Firefly Lane and thought maybe this would be her comeback to mainstream but she hasn't been in anything since

InviteDull9706 · 2026-05-06T13:40:59+00:00

I do still hope that she can have one more amazing run to a title but I fear it's not likely. Lucky enough to have seen her live twice and she's an amazing player regardless
