ROGER FEDERER ENSHRINED ALONGSIDE MARY CARILLO IN TENNIS HALL OF FAME
Roger Federer, the 20-time Grand Slam champion, has been elected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame. The tennis legend, who won 103 titles, will be enshrined in Newport, Rhode Island, in August.
This is a monumental announcement for tennis: Roger Federer Elected to the International Tennis HOF
Roger Federer will be inducted in ceremonies in Newport, Rhode Island, in August, the hall said on Wednesday. As he watched over 20 Hall of Fame members greet him via video conference at Swiss Tennis, where he played as a child, he found out the news.
"You really put tennis on a different map," the legendary former player Boris Becker said to Federer. "People who had nothing to do with tennis became interested in it as you started winning. You were the reason behind it. You are therefore not just among the greatest tennis players of all time, but also the most significant athlete of all time."Mary Carillo, a writer and sportscaster, will also be admitted into the Hall of Fame. Because she influenced the game, she was included in the contributor category.
Federer, 44, was only one of eight men to record a career Grand Slam and the first to win 20 major singles titles. Eight of his 103 victories came from Wimbledon, six from the Australian Open, five from the U.S. Open, and one from the French Open. He held the top spot in the global rankings for 310 weeks in total, including a record 237 weeks in a row.
Thirteen times, he was given the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award.
Federer stated in a news release from the Hall of Fame, "It is a fantastic pleasure to be admitted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame and to stand beside so many of the game's great champions." "I have always respected tennis's past and the example set by my predecessors throughout my career. Receiving the news in front of the upcoming generation of tennis players at Swiss Tennis, where my own path started, was incredibly memorable. It is quite humbling to be acknowledged in this manner by both my peers and the sport. I am looking forward to travelling to Newport in August of next year to commemorate this momentous occasion with the tennis community."
In 2022, he retired. His 20 major championships place him third among men, behind fellow Big Three members Rafael Nadal (22) and Novak Djokovic (24), who are also destined for the Hall of Fame.
Carillo, 68, was informed of her candidacy via video conference with inductee John McEnroe and Hall of Fame president Patrick McEnroe. She grew up playing tennis in the same neighbourhood as the brothers in New York and has been a part of their tennis broadcasts for many years.
In 2018, she was admitted into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame in recognition of her coverage of tennis, 16 Olympic Games, six Emmy Awards, and three Peabody Awards for her work as a correspondent on HBO's "Real Sports."
Carillo remarked, "I am incredibly delighted to be recognised in the company of so many other luminaries and colleagues of the tennis world." "If I have opened any doors along the road, it will make this August day even more significant. I have been honoured to spend my career sharing the story of this great game."
The dates of the induction weekend are August 27–29. There are 270 inductees from 28 nations in the Hall of Fame.
CAN HE COMPETE: RAFAEL NADAL'S EMOTIONAL RETURN TO TENNIS AFTER A YEAR.
A year after retirement, Rafael Nadal returned to the court for a practice session with WTA rising star Alexandra Eala at his Academy in Mallorca, showcasing his enduring love for the sport.
Nadal Makes Emotional Return
A year after saying goodbye to professional tennis, Rafael Nadal found himself back in a familiar setting. The 22-time Major champion practised at his Academy in Mallorca with rising WTA talent, Alexandra Eala.
Rafa cautiously returned to the sport that has defined his life, picking up his signature Babolat racket. Choosing the right practice partner for his return was an emotionally challenging decision.
Eala, one of the Academy's most promising young players, moved to Mallorca in 2018 and graduated in 2023, frequently returning to her beloved tennis facility.
From her beginnings as a gifted youth, Alexandra developed into a composed, disciplined professional. Now, she shared the court with her mentor again, this time as an emerging WTA player exchanging shots with a living legend rather than as a student.
Rafa had spent a year away from the court. While in Germany, he observed younger players at his Academy and even guided Alexander Zverev. The King of Clay has now made his return, sporting his familiar smile, enjoying every stroke, and vowing to return even better.
After a year of recovery and reflection, his return was undeniably momentous. His enduring competitive spirit was evident in his lighthearted promise to return stronger next time.
This occasion offered spectators a breathtaking view of Nadal's legacy in action. Sharing the court with a young talent inspired by his tennis philosophy and example, the retired champion was back in the place where he continues to contribute to the game.
Though Rafa might have set aside dreams of competitive tennis, moments like this remind us that he remains very much involved in the sport. And who knows, he might just face off against Roger Federer next year.
WHY DANIIL MEDVEDEV, BUBLIK ARE PLAYING RUSSIA'S EXHIBITION
Top tennis stars like Daniil Medvedev are set to play the Gazprom-funded Northern Palmyra Trophies in St. Petersburg, a controversial exhibition backed by a key financier of Russia's war in Ukraine, drawing criticism.
Daniil Medvedev Among Players Announced
Since initiating an unlawful invasion in February 2022, Russia and Ukraine have been at war. Despite significant adversity, Ukraine has fought for its independence for more than three years, with ongoing assistance from a number of nations.
Marta Kostyuk and Elina Svitolina are two Ukrainians who have expressed their strong opinions and talked passionately about the state of their nation. According to both women, until peace is achieved, all Russian athletes should be prohibited.
Russian and Belarusian opponents do not shake hands with Ukrainian athletes. Kostyuk explained earlier this year why she granted an exemption to Daria Kasatkina, a Russian national who changed her allegiance to Australia.
Following Alcaraz's withdrawal from Davis Cup duty, the captain of Spain said, "We are devastated."
On November 29 and 30, the fourth Northern Palmyra Trophies will take place in St. Petersburg. During Russia's exclusion from the ATP and WTA Tours, this exhibition has been used to allow tournaments to be hosted there.
The Northern Palmyra Trophies are even more contentious because they are sponsored by Gazprom, a Russian state-owned international energy firm that has been instrumental in funding the nation's conflict against Ukraine.
Nevertheless, a number of well-known athletes have agreed to perform in the event. The most well-known player to be announced for the tournament is Daniil Medvedev, the 2021 US Open winner, who was born in Russia.
Medvedev declared his support for peace at the start of the conflict in Ukraine. Although the former ATP world No. 1 has not publicly criticized the Russian government, he has made it plain that he opposes the war.
Supporters of Ukraine will be especially disappointed by his engagement because of this. Either Medvedev's views have changed, or he does not see any issue with maintaining his convictions and performing in his native country, regardless of the sponsor.
Another individual on the entry list is Alexander Bublik, who had a year that was his finest in his career. Although he was born in Russia, he represents Kazakhstan and has refrained from speaking out against the conflict since it started.
The inclusion of Karen Khachanov in the show is not surprising. Politico said a few years back that he got into a fight with Andrey Rublev, who has been vocally opposed to the war in Ukraine.
A number of WTA athletes who were born in Russia have also committed to the show. They include the fiery Yulia Putintseva, budding sensation Diana Shnaider, and Veronika Kudermetova, who earlier this year disclosed Holger Rune's interest in her.
Tallon Griekspoor, a Dutchman, is also anticipated to attend the competition. He was the last guy to defeat Jannik Sinner, but he did so by retiring during the Shanghai Masters in 2025 after the Italian started experiencing severe cramps.
