Tennis parents, we hope you enjoy this read. Before diving in, here’s a fair warning: this article is meant to be both informative and light-hearted. We understand that parenting is incredibly difficult, and being a tennis parent adds a whole new layer of challenge. You walk a thin line between supporting your child and accidentally screaming in their face. On top of that, you must navigate the natural bias you feel toward their progress and what you believe they’re capable o

Tennis has long been a sport defined by tradition —  polite applause from the crowd and a rigid respect for etiquette. The players are expected to be serious and emotionless. But Carlos Alcaraz, at just 22 years old, may be rewriting the playbook for what it means to be a modern champion. The Spaniard has injected new life into a sport often criticized for being predictable and, at times, monotonous. His explosive playing style — a mix of raw athleticism, fearless shot-making

Zverev’s claim made waves. He suggested that tournament organizers are pushing for slower conditions because it benefits the game’s new stars — the all-court, athletic baseliners who thrive on long rallies and heavy topspin. “They want Carlos and Jannik to do well everywhere,” Zverev said. “All the courts play the same now.” And that’s where the tension lies.

Since COVID, many top players have noticed something different about the tennis balls — and they’re not happy about it. Ball manufacturers insist nothing has changed, but pros like Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas disagree. “They’re much slower,” Zverev said earlier this season. “It’s harder to hit winners or get free points.”

Daniil Medvedev’s 2025 season has been a disaster. He started the year ranked 5, and after the US Open he’s dropped to 18. Even worse, he hasn’t made it past the first round in the last three Grand Slams. Instead of competing, we’ve seen him breaking rackets, yelling at umpires, and picking fights with opponents. It feels like he’s completely lost his grip. At first, Medvedev blamed the courts and the “bad” tennis balls for his poor results. But let’s be honest—this is much b

Francisco Comesaña (world no. 59) had the chance to hit with world No. 2 Jannik Sinner ahead of the US Open, and the session left a strong impression. He described the intensity and professionalism as “off the charts,” the kind of standard that explains why Sinner has been at the top of the game all season.
