Andy Murray started off his new season with several strong showings in Abu Dhabi where he lost in the final to Andrey Rublev.
The Brit played a very solid match but was unable to produce a good enough level to take down one of the world's best tennis players. During the trophy ceremony, Murray spoke about his feelings after that match striking a rather positive tone overall. He said:
“I have been pretty healthy the last three months, I’ve got to play a lot of matches. Just need to find a way of turning some of these matches against the top players around. Hopefully, I can have some big runs in the biggest tournaments again, that's my goal."

It's not an unrealistic goal by Murray who keeps getting better as he plays more and more matches. WIth each match, he is closer to it especially if his health holds up. Asked what his goal for the next season is he said:
“The biggest goal is to have a deep run in a Grand Slam and be in the
quarter-finals, semi-finals of a Slam, have that sort of fairytale
scenario where it's like, ‘Could he do it again? Is it possible?. It
happened with – and I'm not saying I'm Roger Federer or Muhammad Ali,
I'm certainly not. But I still have the ability to compete with the best
players in the world. If my body is able to stay healthy, it's
certainly a possibility. And whilst that possibility is still there, I'm
going to keep on keep trying to achieve what it is that I want.”

- 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.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - 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 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- 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 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
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
