Kelly Jones+FollowAlcaraz Skips Montreal: Olympic Gold or Bust?Big news for tennis fans: Carlitos has pulled out of the Montreal Open, choosing Olympic glory over a shot at millions in ATP bonus cash. After a wild run—French Open, Wimbledon, now Paris—he’s clearly feeling the grind. This move means he’ll lose half his bonus pool, just like Nole did last year. Do you think chasing history is worth the financial hit? And how will his absence shake up the Canadian Masters? #Alcaraz #Olympics #TennisRivalry #MontrealOpen #ATP #Sports10Share

Gregory Costa+FollowSabalenka Survives Mertens Scare—Again!Wow, what a rollercoaster in Madrid! The Tiger, Aryna Sabalenka, kept her insane streak alive against her old partner Mertens, but not without a real fight. For the first time since 2019, Mertens actually took a set off Sabalenka, snapping a 14-set run. But Sabalenka regrouped, cut down the errors, and powered through to win in three. Do you think this rivalry is heating up again, or is Sabalenka just too dominant? #MadridOpen #Sabalenka #WTA #TennisRivalry #Sports40Share
Kelly Jones+FollowDe Minaur Eyes 4-0 Over Sonego in MadridLooks like the Demon is ready to keep his perfect record against Sonego alive! De Minaur has already beaten the Italian three times, but this is their first clash on clay. With his hot form on the European swing, can anyone stop him from making another deep run? Sonego’s pushed him before, but the Aussie’s speed and confidence could be too much again.

Nicholas Henderson+FollowRaducanu vs Kostyuk: Madrid Rematch Heats UpAll eyes are on Emma Raducanu as she faces Marta Kostyuk in a spicy Madrid Open rematch! After cruising past Lamens, the Brit’s confidence is high, but Kostyuk, seeded 24th, is no pushover. Their last clay clash here saw Raducanu take the win—can she repeat history or will Kostyuk even the score? This rivalry is quietly brewing into something special. Who’s your pick for this one? #MadridOpen #Raducanu #Kostyuk #TennisRivalry #WTA #Sports10Share
Nicholas Henderson+FollowZverev vs Fokina: Madrid Showdown BrewingAll eyes are on Sascha Zverev and Davidovich Fokina as they clash in Madrid! Zverev, fresh off a title in Munich and a six-match win streak, is the bookies’ pick, but I’m not so sure. Fokina looked sharp in his opener and, with Zverev’s tight schedule, the Spaniard could push him hard. Expect a close one—Fokina covering the +3.5 games handicap looks like smart value. Who’s your pick in this high-stakes Madrid rivalry? #ATPMadrid #Zverev #DavidovichFokina #TennisRivalry #MadridOpen #Sports10Share

matthew58+FollowKostyuk Gets Madrid Revenge on RaducanuWow, what a gritty performance from Marta Kostyuk! After last year’s tough loss to Raducanu in Madrid, the Ukrainian came back with serious fire, taking down the 2021 US Open champ in three sets—even after a wrist scare.

Nicole Baxter+FollowSwiatek vs Noskova: Rivalry Heating Up?Day 5 in Madrid brings another chapter in the Swiatek-Noskova saga! Even though Iga leads 5-1, their matches are always tight—remember those Miami and Billie Jean King Cup battles? Noskova brings the fire every time, and with Iga looking shaky lately, could we see an upset on the quick clay? My gut says Swiatek survives, but Noskova’s power patches will make it a thriller. Who’s your pick? #WTAMadrid #Swiatek #Noskova #TennisRivalry #Sports00Share
