Today a WTA 500 tournament in Abu Dhabi started and already we have some surprises, like Pera who beats Vekic and Kontaveit who lost to Kudermetova.

 

Tomorrow tournaments ATP 250 in Antalya and Delray Beach will begin.

I'm also glad that thanks to all those withdrawals in Antalya Kacper Żuk will finally debut in ATP main draw, he gets easy opponent which is Altug Celikbilek, he should easily win this match :)

There is some changes in the calendar. Right after Australian Open there will be three tournament, to previously confirmed tournaments in Cordoba and Montpellier we have added new tournament in Singapore on hard courts. Miami Open tournament is confirmed to be held at the end of March. After Miami will be played two tournaments, one in Marrakesh and second, new one, in Marbella, both on clay. 

 

From April 19th alongside ATP 500 tournament in Barcelona there will be a ATP 250 tournament in Belgrade as replacement of Hungarian Open.

 

A tournament U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships which is annually held in Houston is cancelled for this year due to Covid-19.

27 years old and third hip surgery on the way. Laura Robson has basically done nothing since 2014 due to injuries. I know tennis pays a lot but she should really retire. I suppose she's got nothing else to do or what? It's obvious her body isn't up to pro athlete standards anymore - and hasn't been for the last six years.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:

    • Mykolas and Rūta are athletes of the year,no surprises there.
