And if we talk about tennis?

start the Open de Australia, the first Grand Slam. After a dozen days in which tennis appeared as background decoration, the competition finally begins. It will do it apparently without Novak Djokovic, the current champion and number one. At last we will stop talking exclusively about vaccinations, medical exemptions, visas, ministers, deportations, borders and judges, and we will enjoy the spectacle of sport. That’s how I missed it Reef Nadal in their previous declarations and so the fan demands it. Let’s talk about tennis. Because this is sport, even if it seemed like anything else. We can finally focus on ourselves Nadal, who fights to return to the top in the umpteenth recovery of an injury. And of Paula Badosa, who arrives launched and as sixth in the world after her victory in sydney. And of Carlos Alcaraz, which begins a season where he must confirm the hopeful sensations he left in 2021. And from the teacher Garbiñe Muguruza, who so brilliantly finished the course in the WTA Finals. And of Robert Baptist Y Pablo Carreno, shot in the recent ATP Cup, where they reached the final.

Also from the international aces, of course. not everything ends in Djokovic, nor in the absent Roger Federer Y Serena Williams. The present of tennis begins to be written with other names. Mainly with the Daniil Medvedev, number two in the world, winner of the US Open. with the of Alexander Zverev, who has a big on his racket, or more than one. and with the Stefanos Tsitsipas, which has already grazed glory in Roland Garros. In the female picture appears Ashleigh Barty, the ranking leader, eager to reign at home. Y Naomi Osaka, quadruple winner of Grand Slam, two in Australia, who returns on the emotional wave that slows down his class. Y Emma Raducanu, the last champion in New York, who seeks his revalidation at his splendid 19 years. We will talk about these and other protagonists for two weeks. Because this is just tennis, a wonderful sport. Although sometimes it seems otherwise.
