#1. Carlos Alcaraz goes fishing with friends in the Maldives

Carlos Alcaraz finished the 2025 season as the World No. 1, as he pocketed eight singles titles, including the French Open and the US Open. He lost the ATP Finals summit clash to Jannik Sinner earlier this month.

After a hectic campaign, the Spaniard enjoyed the offseason with his friends in the Maldives. A few photos and videos have recently appeared on the internet, showing Alcaraz trying his hand at fishing. One of the photos showed the entire group of friends posing for a selfie as they celebrated catching a big fish.

The six-time Grand Slam winner will play a couple of exhibition matches in the US next month. He will take on Frances Tiafoe in Newark, New Jersey, on December 7, and lock horns with rising Brazilian star Joao Fonseca a day later in Miami, Florida.

#2. Emma Raducanu shares photos of new hairstyle

Just like all other tennis players, Emma Raducanu is making the most of her offseason. She revealed her new hairstyle via social media photos on Thursday, November 27.

London-based hairstylist Nicola Noviello was the architect behind the 2021 US Open winner's new look.

Raducanu finished her 2025 campaign with an opening-round loss to Zhu Lin at the WTA 250 Ningbo Open. The World No. 29 registered a 28-22 win-loss record, failing to win a title. This was only the second season in which the Brit appeared in all four Majors, though she couldn't go beyond the third round.

#3. Aryna Sabalenka's boyfriend Georgios' mother shares heartening message for Belarusian

For the second time in a row, Aryna Sabalenka finished as the year-end No. 1. She won four titles, including the US Open. However, she lost the summit clashes at the Australian Open, the French Open, and the WTA Finals.

As soon as the offseason began, Sabalenka took off for a vacation with her boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis. Their relationship came to light last April. On Thursday, November 27, Georgios' mother, Ana Helena Puccetti, shared a montage with several photos and videos, in which Sabalenka can be seen spending time with their family.

"Some families fight a lot... ours is “playful,” and Aryna is definitely part of our family!🥰," Ana wrote.

#4. Lorenzo Musetti reflects on emotional turmoil during girlfriend's pregnancy in 2023

Although Lorenzo Musetti did not reach the ATP Finals' last four, he got the opportunity to participate in the year-end championship for the first time, thanks to Novak Djokovic's withdrawal. The World No. 8 finished the season with a 48-22 record.

During an interview with d la Repubblica, the Italian revealed that he had to rethink his life when he learnt about his girlfriend Veronica Confalonieri's unplanned pregnancy in 2023. Musetti said:

"The first child was an earthquake and a wonderful surprise. It wasn't planned, but we decided to keep him: I had to rethink my life. I was afraid I wasn't ready for the changes. There was a family to build, a house to change, to expand, to accept the responsibilities."

"It wasn't easy, it created doubts and problems for me, I experienced Veronica's pregnancy with a lot of turmoil. In my head and in my results. It bothered me to be judged negatively by the fans, as if becoming a father meant turning your back on sports, giving other priorities, feeling already fulfilled. For me family is important, but so is tennis," he added.

The couple, who are currently expecting their second child, welcomed a baby boy named Ludovico in March 2024.

#5. Martina Navratilova is disgusted by 2 National Guard members being shot

On Wednesday, November 26, two West Virginia National Guard members were shot in Washington, DC. While 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom died, Andrew Wolfe, 24, is fighting for his life in the hospital. The authorities have identified Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal as the suspect. He entered the US in 2021.
