Life moves on unstoppably, that cannot be changed. With it, the stars that once dominated tennis at the beginning of this century have been saying goodbye to the sport over the years. The latest of these has been Rafael Nadal, who retired after the Davis Cup Finals 2024.
Before Nadal, it was Andy Murray, who said goodbye to tennis after the Olympic Games in Paris. The same happened previously with Roger Federer, at the Laver Cup 2022, and with Serena Williams, considered the best player in the history of the WTA.
As usual, each has gone their own way with "retirement". Below, we review what each of the 4 names mentioned is currently focused on.
- Roger Federer: currently, the Swiss is focused on embracing his traveling spirit. "I have my foundation, I'm a father, number one, and a husband, so I also want to spend a lot of time with them. But I will never stop traveling, I always want to be active, always ready to explore new things," Federer said.
- Rafa Nadal: the Spaniard has always shown a voracious competitive hunger. Few sportsmen surpass Nadal in mentality. As was obvious, Rafa was going to look for a hobby centered on sport. He has always been passionate about golf, and now, after his retirement, he is deeply involved in that world.
- Serena Williams: the youngest of the Williams sisters has always been passionate about everything to do with fashion. While Venus still insists on staying on the WTA circuit at the age of 44, Serena focuses on her beauty empire.
- Andy Murray: of the 4, the one who is still most closely linked to tennis is the Briton. And in what way too. A few weeks ago it was confirmed that Murray had reached an agreement with Novak Djokovic to join his coaching staff at least until the end of the Australian Open 2025.

- 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.

- 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
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.mandoist31-10-2026
- Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.mandoist29-10-2026
