Jannik Sinner will climb to a career-high third in the world ranking after beating Alex de Minaur in straight sets to win the Rotterdam Open.
The Australian Open champion will become Italy's highest-ranked male player in history after beating world number 11 De Minaur 7-5 6-4. It is a 12th career title for Sinner, who has now won 15 consecutive matches. "I'm really proud of the level I played at throughout this whole week," said the 22-year-old. "We have done a really good job some weeks ago [at the Australian Open] and now we did a very, very good job here." The Italian has not lost since a straight-set defeat to Novak Djokovic at the ATP Tour finals in November. |

World number one Iga Swiatek claimed the Qatar Open title for the third year in a row with a straight-set victory over Elena Rybakina.
Poland's Swiatek trailed by a double break in the first set but regrouped to beat Kazakhstan's Rybakina 7-6 (10-8) 6-2 in Doha. Swiatek lost her three matches against Rybakina in 2023. It is four-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek's first WTA title of the year and her 18th overall. She is the first player to win a WTA singles title three times in a row since American Serena Williams claimed the Miami Open from 2013 to 2015 |

Well done to her! Hopefully that will translate into a good performance in the remaining Grand Slams.

She'll only win the French at best.

British number one Cameron Norrie started the defence of his ATP Rio Open title with a routine 6-3 6-2 win over over Bolivian Hugo Dellien in Brazil.
Norrie, 28, made light work of an opponent who gave him a tough time at the quarter-final stage in 2023. It took Norrie, who offered up just one break point in the match, one hour and 21 minutes to seal victory. He will meet Chile's Tomas Barrios Vera for the first time in his career in the next round. |

Norrie is into the Quarter Finals now - the only seeded player left in his half of the draw!

Sebastián Báez won the Rio Open in the end! Norrie lost to Mariano Navone in the semis, giving an all-Argentinial final.

Just seen the article on Andy Murray potentially retiring after the summer but still hoping to take part in the Olympics. Good on him if he's able to make it in, even if he doesn't do as well as he's done in the past!

I would like Andy's swan song to be either at Wimbledon or the US Open really, so I hope he would keep going until the latter if he does the Olympics this year. I know he's won gold a couple of times, but it's not exactly the pinnacle of tennis.
Katie Boulter and Jack Draper are both through to quarter-finals, of San Diego and Acapulco respectively. Hopefully at least one can make it further. |

They both made it to the semi-finals
 Draper went out to defending champion De Minaur, with Katie Boulter to play today, and she's already secured a new career high inside the top 40.

Katie Boulter is into the final now. I watched her semi-final until the rain came at 6-3 1-0. I was glad to wake up this morning to see that the interruption didn't halt her momentum. I think she'll have a better chance of a title win against Kostyuk than she would have had if Pegula had made the final.

Fantastic for Katie, now the #1 in British tennis, ahead of Norrie.
How cute for her and Alex De Minaur to both win titles the same weekend. |

That's a great win for her. I hope she can build on that for the rest of the year.
