World no. 8 Andrey Rublev has made an expected move and withdrawn from the next week's inaugural AnyTech365 Andalucia Open in Marbella, leaving Alexander Zverev as the only top-10 player in the draw.
After Stan Wawrinka and Roberto Bautista Agut, Rublev is another notable player who will miss the ATP 250 event in Marbella, reaching the Miami Open semi-final and taking a well-deserved rest ahead of Monte Carlo.
The young Russian has been one of the players to beat in the last two seasons, heading to Miami with 16 victories from 19 matches in 2021 and embracing his most successful Masters 1000 event.
After winning the ATP Cup title for Russia and reaching the Australian Open quarter-final, Andrey claimed the fourth consecutive ATP 500 title in Rotterdam and advanced into the semis in Doha and Dubai. In Miami, Andrey defeated Tennys Sandgren, Marton Fucsovics, Marin Cilic and Sebastian Korda to earn his first Masters 1000 semi-final, facing Hubert Hurkacz in the battle for the final on Friday night.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
