Weekend Tennis Roundup


De Minaur captures the UTS in London; Rublev wins an award from the ATP; Carlitos gets a same-sex marriage proposal in Jersey and lots more BELOW.



Alex de Minaur pocketed one of his biggest paydays of 2025 after defending his UTS Grand Final title in London, outlasting Casper Ruud in a thrilling four-quarter showdown at the Copper Box. The fast-paced format -- one serve per point, four quarters per match -- kept the crowd buzzing all weekend, and the two highest-ranked players in the field delivered by meeting in the final. De Minaur ultimately prevailed, taking home a cool $640,000 for three days’ work.

Carlos Alcaraz took on Frances Tiafoe in the Battle of the Booties last night in Jersey


No wonder he was fielding marriage proposals on court. (After both players seemed to take it in the spirit in which it was offered, Tiafoe probably didn't need to respond on Carlos's behalf the way he did. Sigh.)


The Spaniard is with Fonseca, Anisimova and Pegula tonight in Miami playing another exhibition while Kyrgios, Paul, Osaka and Sabalenka are at the Madison Square Garden, but, you know, the season is waaaaaaaaaaay too long!


Once again: If you have a problem with Novak Djokovic -- other than not liking it when he beats your player(s) -- you might want to ask yourself why all the players love and respect him so much.
