Naomi Osaka has struggled for consistency since returning to tennis in January after the birth of her daughter Shai in July 2023.

The event was organised to honour Mike Dickson, a respected tennis journalist who passed away suddenly last January while covering the Australian Open.

AITA announced over a dozen international tournaments at home, including four ATP Challengers and a WTA 125 event between January and March of the upcoming year.

Roger Federer thanked Rafael Nadal 'for the unforgettable memories'.

Sinner put some old demons to rest in overcoming American Ben Shelton 6-4, 7-6 (7/1), while Medvedev took out Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-6 (7/3), 6-3.

Three of the top female tennis stars - Iga Swiatek, Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff - have let go of their coaches.

Thieves broke in on Thursday night ransacking several offices and stealing branded products, including wristbands, the French tennis governing body, which manages the Paris stadium said.

The 23-year-old Italian Sinner said he knew "a couple of days ago" about the appeal.

Fritz was bundled out 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 by France's Arthur Fils, shortly after compatriot Tiafoe was eliminated with a 7-5, 6-3 loss to fellow American Brandon Nakashima.

Tsitsipas took the first set in Tokyo but had no answer to his 49th-ranked opponent for the rest of the match, as he went down 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 to the American opponent in the opening round of the event in Japan.

Nadal has said he expects to end his injury-plagued career this year after a hip injury that required surgery limited his appearances in 2023, and there has been speculation the Davis Cup could be his last event.
