Maxime Cressy is enjoying a very strong season as the American player recently won his maiden trophy in Newport which propelled him to a new career high.
Cressy is a rarity in modern tennis because he is not giving up on playing serve and volley which is largely outdated according to many. He's making it work with the American on the verge of breaking into the top 30 after being outside of the top 200 two years ago. Cressy was always open about his dreams and goals saying a few years ago that he is working to become world number one.
That statement back then looked laughable but not so much now. It's still pretty unrealistic but Cressy is not changing his belief as he confirmed in a recent interview for the ATP website. He said:
"Regardless of the ups and downs, my ranking has just skyrocketed really fast in the past two years. Considering all the failures that I’ve had, it’s been kind of crazy, because I definitely feel like I’ve fallen down a lot. But
I rose back up quickly, I never gave up and I stayed resilient. Being
just outside the Top 30 that quickly is a huge indication [to me] that I
have what it takes to be world number one. I don’t think that belief is
ever going to change."

- 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
