Taylor Townsend advanced to her first WTA singles final by defeating Ashlyn Krueger in straight sets at the ATX Open. The American, who parted ways with longtime coach John Williams in December 2025, has been on a breakthrough run in singles after dominating doubles. She first overcame Rebeka Masarova in the quarterfinals to reach her career-first semifinal.
David Ferrer has commended Carlos Alcaraz for his professional approach to parting ways with coach Juan Carlos Ferrero. The world No. 1 has remained undefeated in 2026, securing victories at the Australian Open and Qatar Open. Ferrer highlights Alcaraz's emotional maturity as a key factor in his strong start to the season.

Juan Carlos Ferrero, Carlos Alcaraz's former coach, has unfollowed the world No. 1 on Instagram days after Alcaraz's Australian Open triumph. This move, which also includes unfollowing Alcaraz's fitness trainer and physiotherapist, has sparked speculation about their relationship following their December split. Despite the social media cutoff, Alcaraz still follows Ferrero and has described their parting as mutual and amicable.
