ITST Singles Tour - February 2025 Recap
09 Apr'25 - 08:57

Yes, yes—I know. You're probably wondering why it's mid-April, and only now am I recapping events from February. Before you grab your pitchforks and storm the Discord channel, hear me out. Your favorite (or at least, tolerable) ITST reporter had a busy few months: I sold my house in the Chicago suburbs, packed all my things into boxes I eventually unpacked, and relocated back to the hustle and bustle of downtown Chicago. Oh, and I started a new job, because apparently, writing free esports tennis recaps doesn’t cover downtown Chicago rent. Who knew? 

But enough excuses—back to tennis. And trust me, despite my temporary absence, February's action was worth the wait. While I was drowning in packing tape and orientation packets, ITST’s Singles Tour exploded with drama, historic first titles, fierce sibling rivalries, and ongoing community uproar about whether returns had officially become unreturnable.

Let’s rewind the clock and dive straight into February's best storylines, starting with a stop in Marseille at the Open 13 Provence—where familiar faces reigned, new stars emerged, and no furniture had to be moved.

ABN AMRO Open Crowns a Champion While the World No. 1 Forgets to Show Up
18 Feb'25 - 07:05

For the first time in what feels like forever, an ITST tournament didn’t have ByJulio steamrolling his way to the final. After the World No. 1 forgot to sign up, the ABN AMRO Open became a proving ground for players eager to capitalize on his absence. But just because ByJulio wasn’t there didn’t mean the tournament lacked intrigue. From razor-thin tiebreakers to an unexpected coaching shake-up that saw longtime mentor pappous1908 juggling client commitments, this tournament had everything—except its most dominant force.

Chaos and Controversy Dominate Open Sud de France
15 Feb'25 - 23:27

If you tuned into the Open Sud de France expecting a calm, straightforward tournament, you were sorely mistaken. This event had everything—dominant champions, absurd scheduling decisions, rule disputes, and one competitor continuing to hit godlike returns despite a supposed shift in gameplay.

In the end, ByJulio continued his iron grip on the Singles tour, adding yet another title to his collection, while Grudgess claimed the SIM crown, taking down ByJulio along the way. But the road to these victories? Messy, chaotic, and absolutely on brand for the ITST.

The Challenger Tour: Now Featuring Grand Slam Finalists!
31 Jan'25 - 05:12

If the ITST Challenger Tour is supposed to be a proving ground for up-and-coming players, nobody told Grudgess and whiteGZworm. Fresh off their deep runs at the Australian Open—where Grudgess reached the Singles final and whiteGZworm claimed the Singles SIM title—the Scottish brothers dropped down to the Challenger 20+ Open Quimper . . . and, predictably, won both tournaments. It was an event that felt less like a Challenger tournament and more like an alternate-reality sequel to the movie Challengers starring Zendaya, where a Grand Slam champion plays in a Challenger tournament to regain his confidence before the US Open.

Grudgess and whiteGZworm might have stolen the spotlight, but their presence didn't completely overshadow the impressive performances of other rising talents, who fought hard to make their mark in the tour’s first Challenger tournament of the year.

ByJulio Clinches Australian Open Title
28 Jan'25 - 06:39

For Grudgess, who hadn’t dropped a set until the championship match, the final was a showcase of grit, resilience, and the potential to go one step further in future tournaments.

From Challenger to Champion: whiteGZworm Wins Australian Open SIM Title
25 Jan'25 - 00:12

The Australian Open Singles SIM tournament crowned a new champion in whiteGZworm, a player whose rise from dominating the Challenger Tour to claiming his first Grand Slam title is nothing short of inspiring. Long celebrated for his tactical brilliance and consistent performances, whiteGZworm showed the world he belongs at the top, defeating Namllez_darb in a gripping four-set final, 2-6, 6-2, 6-4, 7-6. This victory not only cements his place among the tour's best, but also highlights a career trajectory defined by relentless improvement and unshakeable resolve.

The path to the title was far from smooth. In a tournament marked by intense competition, upsets, and breakthrough performances, whiteGZworm had to navigate a series of high-pressure matches. From his early-round dominance to surviving a thrilling final, his Australian Open campaign serves as a testament to the rewards of hard work and perseverance.

There have been only a few players making the history of ITST FAT tour at the very top of the game since its beginning in 2021: rharm100, Richie1308, Cinemartic, names such as these. In 2022, Jayfin95 made a remarked entry amongst Grand Slams holders and could be perceived as one of the best newcomers on tour. In 2023, it appears indubitable danieel holds this spot, and with what sturdiness ! After his first title in the 2022 Chengdu Open and a level incessantly raising, danieel left his mark for the first time reaching the Australian Open 2023 final in a controversial match, barely losing his very close fight against Tennis Elbow GOAT Richie. Now danieel has become a pillar of the tour, winning no less than 6 titles in 2023 and making 7 other finals.

WRITTEN BY MAIRON

An introduction to a hot American summer on ITST World Tour

Can you feel it too? Yes, it is that time of the year again, the time when all the ITST wildlife storms out of their humble jungle eager to compete for some of the biggest prizes on the tour. There will be predators and there will be preys, hunters and hunted. It is not easy for a prey to become a predator and predators rarely become preys but it would be a mistake to think there can’t be.3 any surprises in the big, sometimes confusing jungle, that is ITST. If the results from this year prove anything, it is that nothing is set in stone and champions of the past are not always guaranteed to win.

We can be sure of one thing, however, controllers and keyboards will be broken, desks will be smashed, and dreams will be crushed. Only one player can stand victorious in the end.

Now let’s take a look at the upcoming tournaments and what’s at stake.

He has won more Grandslams than any other player before. He was winning many at his beginnings, he was winning almost everything in mid of his career and he was still winning most as his career was about to conclude. There were no secrets in Richie’s success. His all-around style offered opponents very little room for openings and no room for hope once he brought his A-game to the court. Hailed for his on and off court class and commitment to the game, praised for his modesty and achievements throughout his entire career.
