Tennis Highlights of 2024
Djokovic winning the Olympic gold. An amazing effort on clay.
Sinner & Alcaraz dominating the Slams - 2 each.
Andy Murray's Olympic farewell competitive matches
Murray & Djokovic teaming up together
Italy dominating both men's & women's tennis, Sinner No 1, 9 guys in the top 100, women winning the BJK Cup, men winning the Davis Cup, Paolini in 2 slam finals.
Danielle Collins winning Miami and Charleston Opens and then NOT retiring!
Tennis Low Points of 2024
Scandal over allegations of drug abuse with both Sinner & Swiatek involved, and if Sinner is banned it could have an impact on the game. Will the ATP allow it to happen?
The madness of Rublev & his continuing outbursts & self harming on court. He has said recently that he has sought professional advice but finds it hard to change.
Rafa Nadal's retirement party in Spain after losing to Holland in the Davis Cup. Many high profile Spanish tennis players & coaches felt that it was a poorly arranged send off for one of the greatest players ever to play the game.
What to look out for in 2025
Sinner being banned or not will dominate the early part of the year. Personally I think he will be banned.
The coach/player dynamic of Murray & Djokovic will be fascinating to watch, especially in the more emotional moments. Will Andy be willing to take the abuse or will he just give it right back? There is no one out there with a better tactical brain than Murray, so it will also be very interesting to see if there are any changes to the Djokovic game when/if he comes up against Sinner or Alcaraz!
Will Alcaraz find a way to be more consistent & improve his shot selection or will he continue in the same swashbuckling way?
Will all the other players like Zverev, Medvedev, Rune etc. find a way to challenge the slam winners & the elite group?
In the women's game I'm hoping that Paolini can win a slam and stay at the top end of the game as she is a shining light of personality in women's tennis.
