About this listen
Over the past few days, the most consequential development is that I have skipped both Canada and Cincinnati and will enter the US Open without a hard court match since Wimbledon, a rare pattern in my career that has preceded deep runs before, and I am slated to play US Open mixed doubles with compatriot Olga Danilovic before singles, which could meaningfully shape my New York readiness according to Tennis365. According to Tennis365, I withdrew from Cincinnati citing a non medical reason after dealing with a groin issue at Wimbledon, and this will be only the third time I come to the US Open without Canada or Cincinnati after 2021 and 2024.
In training news, Tennis Infinity reports I have been practicing at a resort and moving freely, easing injury concerns as I gear up for Flushing Meadows. Sportskeeda adds I was filmed drilling serves and volleys in Portonovi during a family break, signaling intent to play the Open after pulling out of Washington, Toronto, and Cincinnati to extend recovery. Punto de Break likewise notes I am already working specifically for the US Open after confirming those withdrawals.
On business and player politics, the organization I co founded, the Professional Tennis Players Association, put a sharp focus on structural reform even as the US Open announced a record 90 million prize pool. EssentiallySports reports the PTPA’s public statement on X welcomed the increase but warned it does not fix a broken system, citing the year round schedule, opaque anti doping, limited benefits, and stagnant prize money at most events, positioning player advocacy as a continuing front for me beyond match results.
For headlines and framing, Tennis365 leads with my no Cincinnati path into the Open, while Tennis Infinity and Sportskeeda emphasize my practice clips and readiness narrative, and EssentiallySports highlights the PTPA push amid the US Open prize money surge. One social rumor cycle on Threads claimed I tearfully explained my Cincinnati absence; this is unverified and should be treated as speculation without confirmation from established outlets.
As for public appearances, my on court visibility has been limited to practice sightings rather than tournament play, and social chatter has amplified the anniversary of last year’s Olympic gold per a Tennis 360 Instagram post, keeping the career arc in view. An older IMDb linked item about my Australian Open media stance is recirculating but is not a new development and should not be over weighted this week.
