How to leave the absence of the sinner without giving up the number 1 world?
Add the arrangement points that men’s players obtained this year Australian openand BNP Paribas is open and Miami OpenThe highest balance belongs to a person who participated in only one of these events. The great ATP winner of the first Grand Slam in 2025, then “Sunshine Double” in California and Florida is Sinner, who did not play any of the last championships because of his three -month ban on anti -doping.
While the Australian Open champion in Australia was getting some training representatives before returning to the round in May, his competitors failed to benefit from his absence. It is almost the guarantee that the sinner will remain the first when his return begins within five weeks on clay at home in the Italian open in Rome.
Nominal world No. 2 Alexander Zverev The last time the appropriate tennis was seen in Melbourne – the difference between it and the sinner is that he played in five events since then. But the German seemed to have remained for himself from the moment that the wrong was struck in that Australian open final, and after he lost his first match in Indian Wales, he went out to Arthur Fils in the open round in Miami 16, although he was in the final group.
The main sinner, Carlos Carrez, was hit in his first match in Miami. In Indian Wales, he failed to recover from a horror show in the first group in the semi -finals, and he eventually lost to a hero. Jacques Dripper. Alcaraz seemed sometimes lost during both games – as he did when he lost in the Australian quarter -finals open to the injured Novak Djokovic.
Djokovic seemed to refreshed in Miami after his early exit in Indian Wales, but he did not have to overcome the best 14 player to reach the final. When he arrived there, he lost exactly the type of match he won. His opponent in this final, Menšík, was great in winning 7-6 (4), 7-6 (4), but neutralizing large servers and winning a long time ago two Djokovic communication cards.
Menšík, 19, had a penetration championship, as DRIPRIPE did in Indian Wales, but between my wrong competitors, it was generally a very difficult month.
Sometimes in sports, the results of the most useful players come when they are not even present.
March 2025 undoubtedly strengthened the wrong position of the men’s tennis, without playing one point.

How to use Andreva marital to maintain its basis?
It was also a dual sunlight to Andreva, who followed her Indian individual title by winning the open couple in Miami, with her close boyfriend and her compatriot Diana Shenader.
Andreva, the 17-year-old Russian, is unusual among the top 10 in the world to continue playing a normal marital, and may last for a long time-because the benefits exceed their tennis.
She plays and she is a 20 -year -old and she plays with this type of generally uninterrupted in individual fighting, and they can only be useful for two young men who control professional tennis grinding. The timeline of the Tennis Tennis Federation is scattered with burning vessels due to the suffocating pressure of the sport.
The couple’s sense of humor on Sunday came within reach, during the delay of the lengthy rain, which stopped 6-3, 6-7 (5), and 10-2 the final victory over Christina Boxa and Miu Kato from Japan.
It is the title of Andreva and Shnaider second as partners, after they joined the first forces when they laughed on their way to the Olympic silver medals in August. Since then, both have talked about the amount of enjoyment of playing together and the way they use them.

“When we play the double, we both do not like when he is very tense.” An interview in Melbourne Park in January. So, for example, when the result is 5-4 and we have to serve in the match, at the same time we are trying to say some jokes or cold a little.
“We are always making fun of ourselves, so if you get an amazing shot. I like,” have you seen it? Are you Roger Federer? I mean, come, stop it. After that, I feel that it was launched and made better shots.
Schneider, who suffers from a difficult individual season after penetration in 2024, feels the benefits and said in an interview in New York before the United States Open last year:I need some jokes in court. I need some smiles. I need some conversations with a partner who enjoys the marital. Because for me, I just released tension and some distress.
“I knew it’s a very open person. It’s very emotional. She loves to speak, loves jokes and loves to smile. So I was like,” this is suitable. “
Before the doubles in Miami won, Andreva endured a stressful individual defeat against Amanda Anisimova in the third round, while Schneider lost to Anna Blancova per second.
They can have both the miami packed and left Miami, then for some comfort or practice. Instead, both of them found something more valuable in the Welfare Court.

Not “dual sunlight” that American men hoped for this
Two months ago, this looked like it might be private Indian wells and a Miami swing for American men.
With the marginalization of the singer number 1 in the world and the best thing ever in the Djokovic game, about 38 years old, it seemed as if there may be an opening for a group of competitors who are at their best on their land. Senior Americans are eager players aimed at making straw during stadium fluctuations in North America-especially this trip, which precedes a three-month trip to Europe and its organic surfaces.
Ben Shelton was going out to the Australian, open semi -finals. Taylor Fritz was not far from being final in the United States Open last year, as he was second in the ATP finals in November and won the United Cup with his country in January. Tommy Ball was the 10 best players. Frances Tiafoe is always launched for home lovers.
When it ended, Fritz, who was still fighting a right abdominal injury, was the best show in the two events, and fell to Menchik in the semi -finals in Miami in the third tie segment. He managed to lose while he did not break his service throughout the night. It was made by some bad decisions in the first and third tie sandwiches.
Shelton fell in the Indian Wales places to the hero in the end of the day. It is not bad, and it seems that he found his groove on the solid court with high kick in California. But then, in Miami, he lost his opening match against the Wild Card, Coleman Wong from Hong Kong.
Paul disappeared during his tour of 16 games in Indian Wales against Daniel Medvedev. In Miami, he lost his second match against Francisco Serundolo. It is 7-4 since entering the top ten. Tiafoe? 2-2 went in dual sunlight, with a loss of penny and yosuke watanuki.
And he went on it.
The learner did not win a match. Alex Michelsen won only one.
It is not a good weather for players at home in March.

Daniel Collins get a victory
Daniel Collins was unable to keep her title in Miami, but it ended up coming out with a different type of cup.
Collins came to a dog with a car during its time in the city. I withdrew, and I took the animal to a local veterinary hospital and saw that he had the care that it needs, through surgery and five days over the oxygen.
With the passage of the puppy, Collins announced that it had adopted it and described it as “crashing.”
“His breathing has returned to normal, and his wounds are healing, and he definitely enjoys with all the love he receives,” Collins participated on Instagram, which displays the latest addition to her family with whom she is in bed. Crash joins Queens, who accompanied Collins on the tour for some time now.
“It is my curiosity, affectionate, and gratitude for the second opportunity in life. It was very painful to witness a big dog after being hit by a car, and left in the middle of the road with many people who were driving it next to his frizzy body.
Maybe not another cup. But perhaps something better. And something good for accidents that Collins decided not to retire at the beginning of this season.
She now has another defense title this week in Charleston, SC, where she will look forward to staying in the best 32 years and getting a seed for the upcoming Grand Salam championship in Paris next month.
