    Grigor Dimitrov seems to have found the fountain of youth. Or a really great elixir to add to his electrolytes. He’s currently in the middle of an astonishing resurgence that’s propelled him 24 spots in the rankings over the past 11 months. And he’s back in the Top 10 for the first time in 10 years. Since October, he’s tussled in a Masters 1000 semi and final, added the Brisbane ATP 250 title to his collection and followed it up with a final berth at the Miami Open. He’s 20-25 in 2024.

    Leylah Fernandez continues her slow ascent back to the top of the world rankings. Although the comeback she was counting on this past season didn’t materialize, the former No. 13 still managed to close out 2023 with a bang in terms of numbers—tennis stats and wealth.

    Has Milos Raonic played his last match? Of course, only he knows. And of course, we’d love to see the Missile on the courts for a few more years, but at Davis Cup, Milos was open about the fact that he doesn’t have that many matches left in him. Was his unexpected showdown in Malaga his last hurrah? Was the competition at which he once led the charge for Canada without ever raising the silver bowl his swan song?

    Here’s a nice example of 1) bliss and satisfaction and 2) huge relief.  It seems the Helvetian air does wonders for Félix Auger-Aliassime.  Switzerland is where he won his first title of 2023 and successfully completed his first title defence. Most importantly, it’s where he put a stop to the spiral of injuries and failing confidence that caused his ranking to dip. Six months during which he lost 13 of 16 matches and bowed out in the opening round of 9 of 12 tournaments.

Le producteur du hockey à RDS, par la voix de son descripteur Pierre Houde, vient de rendre hommage - à l'occasion du dernier reportage de la saison - à toute l'équipe de cette retransmission en montrant tous les artisans à l'écran. B-R-A-V-O pour cette minute de respect.👏👏👏
