The Belgian opened 2026 with a strong United Cup run and a viral celebration ahead of the Australian Open but suffered a tough first-round loss to Hubert Hurkacz.

"It was just my instinct to help her," said the Turkish qualifier, who upset No. 11 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in three sets.

The former world No. 3 was slowed by injuries after his peak, and has called time on his 18-year playing career.

The sport’s biggest rivalry kicked off the season with a sold-out exhibition match.

The 21-year-old lost her match at a W35 event in Nairobi in 37 minutes, won three points, and at one point, appeared to need to be directed where to stand to serve.

The world No. 1 unveiled a colorful new Nike dress during the Brisbane International.

The world No. 1 stars on the January cover of 'Tatler Asia,' while the Aussie teen gets her first star turn in a digital feature in 'Vogue Australia.'

Hurkacz fired 21 aces in his return from injury as Poland swept Germany 3–0 in Sydney.

Kudermetova claimed unapproved quotes about Rune aired on the former WTA doubles No. 1’s “Spring is Calling” podcast.

"I'd prefer to come back at 100% rather than returning too early," the Frenchman said, explaining his decision to skip the Australian swing.

The couple shared the happy news in a sweet Instagram announcement.
