September was an eventful month for tennis, marked by exciting matches and significant developments. The final Major of the season built up to an exciting conclusion, with Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka claiming the titles. The Laver Cup faced a setback when Rafael Nadal withdrew, but Carlos Alcaraz stepped up, making a memorable debut and playing a pivotal role in Team Europe’s victory.
Meanwhile, Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka shook things up by making significant coaching changes, aiming to finish the season strong. Sinner, who had a stellar year on the court, faced some off-court controversies as well.
Both Sinner and Sabalenka started the year impressively. Sinner claimed his first Major at the Australian Open, while Sabalenka defended her title in Melbourne, securing her second Grand Slam. Sabalenka’s form dipped slightly afterward but rebounded during the clay season, making consecutive finals in Madrid and Rome, along with a French Open quarterfinal appearance. An injury kept her out of Wimbledon, but she returned with renewed strength.
Sinner’s consistency earned him three additional titles after his Australian Open win, along with a French Open semifinal appearance. He made it to the quarterfinals of the Canadian Open to kick off the North American swing, where Sabalenka was also eliminated at the same stage.
