The year 2024 started off busy for the tennis world with the Australian Open, one of the most prestigious Grand Slams. The tournament started on January 7th and Brazilian Thiago Wild failed to advance past the first round in the men’s tournament.
Brazilian hopes turn to Bia Haddad, number 11 in the world on the women’s circuit.
