Norwegian tennis star with Masters 1000 title and multiple major finals
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has suffered a shock five-set defeat at Roland Garros, stalling his bid to complete a career Grand Slam and forcing a period of recovery ahead of Wimbledon. The loss comes after a long winning run and intense focus on Paris.
Maja Chwalińska has reached the French Open women’s final, becoming the first qualifier ever to reach Roland Garros’ final and the second qualifier to reach a Grand Slam final in the Open Era. She will meet Mirra Andreeva in Paris on Saturday, with a potential €1.4m prize and a top-25 ranking in sight.
Carlos Alcaraz and Serena Williams will form a high-profile mixed doubles team at the 2026 U.S. Open, following Alcaraz's return from a wrist injury and Williams's return to top-level play after a hiatus. The pairing joins a star-studded field that includes Aryna Sabalenka with Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek with Casper Ruud. The event runs Aug. 24–26 for mixed doubles, with the rest of the tournament starting Aug. 30.
