Yesterday's Results: This one was close! 46.77% of you think that Shapalov's retirement wasn't genuine.
Jannik Sinner clinched the 2025 Vienna Open title with a gutsy three-set victory over Alexander Zverev, winning 3–6, 6–3, 7–5. Serving for the match at 6–5 in the deciding set, Sinner produced a stunning winner at the perfect moment, a clean strike that showcased composure under pressure and command of the big points. Earlier, the world No. 2 had battled through cramps and fatigue in the final round, yet found his rhythm just when it mattered most, breaking Zverev late in the set before sealing victory on his serve. With this triumph, Sinner captured his third ATP 500 title of the season, reinforcing his dominance on hard courts and closing another electric week in Vienna.

| MYTH |
| "Players Exaggerate When They Complain About the Calendar Being Too Packed" |
| TRUTH |
| BUSTED! The 2025 ATP season features 60 tournaments across 29 countries, running virtually nonstop from December 2024 to late November 2025, with only a two- to three-week off-season. The WTA tour is nearly as intense, with 55 tournaments across five continents spanning the same period. This means top players have less than three weeks a year for proper recovery and training. Add travel between continents, surface changes, and mandatory player commitments, and the toll becomes real, physically and mentally, making the “packed” narrative not an excuse but a fact backed by hard data. |
