More top ten wins than Zverev this year:
- Sinner who hasn't played since Wimbledon
- Alcaraz who missed two slams
- Musetti battling injuries & personal scandals
- Fils who is constantly injured & losing
- Djokovic who is 50 & finished
- ADM, Nakashima, Tiafoe

History for Alexander Zverev:
He becomes the first man to lose his debut match as world No.1 in straight sets! 🔥

There are many reasons why this is the worst men’s tennis season in memory, and this is sure one of them.
New world #1 Alexander Zverev is now 3-9 vs. top 10 players in 2026.
Such a brutal stat.
genuinely what does kooij have to do to get some recognition ???? tell me if I’m being biased, but surely he deserves a nomination here

It’s a beautiful thing that Victor Campenaerts has won his first general classification after so many years of a very nice career - and at a time when he had decided to dedicate himself 100% to the role of a domestique.
It’s fantastic that he was given this opportunity. 🙂

A very good decision. Not every year has to end with a battle on that climb. Let’s rotate between a sprint finish and a finish with Montmartre. Nice variety. Let the sprinters have something for themselves at least every two or three years.

This won't stop unless cyclists boycott a race. A car appears on the course = race is cancelled. And let the organizer figure out how to prevent it.
Cyclists DON'T WANT TO DIE. They want to feel safe. If the organizer cannot guarantee that, the race shouldn't take place.
This is terrible to see how basically absolutely nothing has changed since Finlay Tarling's accident.
Yesterday at Coppa Bernocchi a DHL van saw the race was happening and still fully entered the course. But why could he’ve easily entered the course? Because there was no marshal at that entry from the public road from San Bernardo town.
This was already enough.
But today, after the Tre Valli Varesine race during the podium ceremony, Pidcock revealed that his Pinarello-Q36.5 teammates Marcel Camprubì and Thomas Gloag had been hit by a police motorbike travelling in the opposite direction with six laps of the finishing circuit remaining. The incident was not shown on the live broadcast. Pidcock also said he wanted to stop the race himself as a form of protest.
“I wanted to stop racing myself; I was mad. I had guys riding in front of me, for me, and two of them were on the floor… Luckily, Marcel was ok; he could continue. Tom was also ok in the end, but he stopped the race; he has some stitches in his knee. Things like this shouldn’t happen.”
