Novak Djokovic is set to return to tennis at the Monte Carlo Masters and could meet Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals should the pair progress. The 18-year-old Alcaraz has been tipped by Chris Evert to win more than 10 Grand Slams, and Dominic Thiem has described him as an ‘unbelievable player’ after his win at the Miami Open last weekend. Ad/> The win sees him move up to No.
Tennis legend Chris Evert has explained why Rafael Nadal's enforced time off due to injury is actually «a bonus» ahead of the French Open. The 2022 Australian Open champion has been ruled out for four to six weeks with a cracked rib suffered during his defeat in the final against Taylor Fritz in the California desert at Indian Wells. Ad/> Nadal was visibly struggling to breathe during the match, saying afterwards that he was finding it “difficult”, having had to lie down at times to receive treatment.
Emma Raducanu has been praised by Chris Evert for how she’s handled the British tabloids and insists her priority is still tennis.
Iga Swiatek is the “heavy favourite” to win the French Open this year as she has the offence, defence, counter-punching and slide to be unbeatable on the surface, according to former world No 1 Chris Evert.
Tennis legend Chris Evert has backed Naomi Osaka and urged her to continue to have «thick skin» as she deals with the weight of pressure and expectation on her. Evert has previously given her views on hecklers in tennis and Osaka being a «bright light» in the sport after her experience at Indian Wells when a spectator shouted «Naomi, you suck” at the Japanese star at the event in the California desert, with the four-time Grand Slam champion visibly upset during her defeat against Veronika Kudermetova. Ad/> The 24-year-old has since returned in a much more positive setting at the Miami Open as she reached the final, only to lose to new world No.
Chris Evert has called for discussions on the toll tennis is taking on players' mental health following a spate of angry outbursts and emotional breakdowns on court. German Alexander Zverev was thrown out of a tournament in Acapulco in February after smashing his racket against the umpire's chair during an expletive-laden tirade, while Australian Nick Kyrgios was fined for his outbursts at Indian Wells and Miami last month. Men's governing body ATP this week warned of stricter punishment for on-court misconduct but Evert said she is worried about the players. "I'm not making any judgements on the players, but it's an area of concern: why are players losing control and breaking racquets and putting others in harm's way?" Evert told Eurosport. "Why are they breaking down on the court emotionally? It's something that needs to be addressed. It's something that needs to be talked about. Tennis is a sport and it's not life." Former world number one Victoria Azarenka retired from her match in Miami and said she should not have played as her personal life had been "extremely stressful" in recent weeks. Four-times major winner Naomi Osaka brought the issue of athletes' mental health into the spotlight when she pulled out of Grand Slam events and chunks of the 2021 season. Kyrgios thanked Osaka for helping him deal with his issues after he opened up on his mental health struggles, saying he had suicidal thoughts during one of his "darkest" periods around the 2019 Australian Open.
