Rafael Nadal won 35 consecutive sets at Majors since the last year's Roland Garros, moving a couple of points from matching Roger Federer's record of 36 before a massive setback against Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Rafa claimed the 13th Roland Garros crown last October in a perfect manner, winning all 21 sets to start another impressive streak at Majors and shifting that form to Melbourne, where he beat four rivals in straight sets to match John McEnroe in second place with 35. Rafael Nadal had to beat Stefanos Tsitsipas 3-0 in the quarter-final to secure 36 consecutive sets at Majors and join Roger Federer at the top of the charts.
The Swiss earned the record between the US Open 2006 - Roland Garros 2007, and he will keep it in the future after Rafa failed to win the third set against Stefanos.
World no. 6 Stefanos Tsitsipas stunned the 20-time Major champion Rafael Nadal 3-6, 2-6, 7-6, 6-4, 7-5 in four hours and five minutes to reach the Australian Open semi-final! The Spaniard sailed through the opening two sets before the Greek found the range in the third, matching Nadal's pace and playing brave and aggressive tennis to claim the tie break and end the rival's streak.
That turned the tables around, and Stefanos stood as the better rival by the end of the match, never losing ground on serve in sets four and five and delivering one break in each to stun Rafa and advance into the semis.

- 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
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
