Tennis and sport is so interesting
If you were asked 7-8 years ago if a Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Denis Shapovalov match sounds like a final of a grand slam, I wouldnโt be shocked if you said yes.
Here we are in 2026 and theyโre both ranked around 40 in the world playing first round of a Masters
The second set scoreline though?

Tsitsipas v. Shapovalov
Gael Monfils
Marin Cilic
Joao Fonseca
and Sloane Stephens
No they were not ๐. If you read the thread i expounded a bit on why AT THE TIME their wins were completely out of the blue.
04.03.2026 05:16 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Fritz was definitely a surprise at the time. He had never even made a grand slam quarter before that IW run. And itโs still the biggest trophy heโs won.

04.03.2026 04:51 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0She played Venus in the quarters who she always troubled, Mladenovic in the semis(???๐) and Kuznetsova in the final who notoriously would let nerves get the best of her in big moments. So yea it aligned for her big time.
04.03.2026 04:50 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Neither of those would qualify as โdidnโt see that comingโ in my book
04.03.2026 04:47 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Would love to see her win it but i wouldnโt qualify it as โdidnโt see that comingโ considering sheโs a top 10 player.

Badosa had never even competed in the main draw of Indian Wells before winning it
And Fritz only had one 250 title to his name before winning big in 2022
Vesnina had been on tour for years and hadnโt come good for a huge title
Osaka was outside of the top 40 when she won Indian Wells and had never won a WTA title
Andreescu was basically an unknown quantity
Norrie was not taken seriously as a top 30 player
Indian Wells has definitely had its fair share of โdidnโt see that coming!โ champions (at the time) in the last ten years.
Who would you like to see lift the trophy outside of the already established top tennis players?
The face i just made lolol

Hey tennis watchers. Sorry if youโve been feeling neglected with my voice on here or otherwise (life does happen)
But i have a particular fondness for this time of the year and the Sunshine Double!
Are you excited for the tennis in Indian Wells and Miami??
It looks like miserable conditions in Rio

Melbourne has a way of changing careers forever.
With Svitolina, Pegula, and Zverev still standing, the 2026 #AustralianOpen feels familiar in the best way.
