Winners of the week
It was a fairytale week in Dubai for Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva, who became the youngest-ever WTA 1000 champion with a 7-6(1), 6-1 victory over surprise finalist Clara Tauson.
Having defeated Grand Slam winners Marketa Vondrousova, Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina en route to the final, the 17-year-old captured the biggest title of her burgeoning career to move inside the women's top 10.
Andreeva, who has already reached a major semi-final at the French Open last year, will become the youngest player to be part of the top 10 since Nicole Vaidisova in August 2006. The future is very, very bright.
Staying in the Middle East, it was a spectacular return to form for Andrey Rublev, with the Russian battling past three quality opponents - Alex de Minaur, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Jack Draper - to claim the Doha crown.
Rublev survived a spirited fightback from Draper in the final to win 7-5, 5-7, 6-1, securing his 17th career title and a first piece of silverware since Madrid last May.
Meanwhile, in Rio, Sebastian Baez sealed the seventh title of his career with a ruthless 6-2, 6-3 victory over Alexandre Muller.
It was a 10th successive win for the Argentine at the ATP 500 event as he became the first player to go back-to-back in Rio.
Strugglers of the week
Seeded sixth in Doha, Stefanos Tsitsipas' miserable form continued as he was dumped out in the opening round by Serbia's Hamad Medjedovic. It was another desperately disappointing defeat for the two-time major finalist, especially given his 21-year-old opponent was severely hampered by a leg injury during the final set.
Having also fallen at the first hurdle in Melbourne earlier this year, Tsitsipas will be desperate to rebuild his confidence in the coming weeks as he looks to avoid slipping further down the rankings.
Another player who struggled last week was Zheng Qinwen, as the Chinese superstar lost a close three-setter to Peyton Stearns in Dubai. That's now three defeats in a row for the Olympic champion, who has found it difficult so far in 2025 to replicate her brilliant form from the second half of last season.
Moment of the week
There were distressing scenes in Dubai as Great Britain's Emma Raducanu was targeted by a man displaying "fixated behaviour" during her second-round match against Karolina Muchova.
A visibly upset Raducanu was forced to take refuge behind the umpire's chair as she alerted officials to the man's presence.
The individual had approached the Brit in a public area on Monday before taking a courtside seat the following day. In response, the WTA banned the man from all WTA events, and he has since been detained and handed a restraining order by police.
Rallies of the week
Francisco Comesana played some incredible tennis to stun top seed Alexander Zverev in Rio, with this point at a crucial juncture in the final set one to remember.
Over in Dubai, Muchova was up to her usual tricks, producing a jaw-dropping tweener lob to steal a point she had no right to win in her semi-final defeat to Tauson.
Upcoming events
As is always the case with tennis, it’s another busy week ahead with ATP tournaments in Dubai, Acapulco and Santiago, as well as WTA events in Merida and Austin.
Men's world number six Daniil Medvedev headlines a wide-open draw in Dubai, with De Minaur, Ugo Humbert, Arthur Fils and the in-form Rublev all players to watch out for.
Meanwhile, in Acapulco, Zverev, Casper Ruud and Tommy Paul are among the top seeds vying for the title.
The best of the WTA action comes in Merida, where Emma Navarro, Paula Badosa and Donna Vekic are the standout names in a high-quality field.
Elsewhere, there's a WTA 250 event in Austin which includes the likes of Jessica Pegula and Diana Shnaider, while Francisco Cerundolo is the top seed at the ATP 250 in Santiago.
