These pages cover the 2026 events of five separate sports, tennis, badminton, squash, padel and pickleball, plus wheelchair tennis, the LA28 Games and how to watch. Every result carries its event, year and source, and an event or season still running or still to come has no winner named.
We use the governing bodies', tours' and organisers' own pages first. Several of those could not be opened for this research: the US Open's site timed out, World Tennis's article pages came back empty, the BWF's sites returned an access error, and the PSA's results pages did not turn up in searches. Where a result rests on a search summary of a page we could not open, on a single press report or on Wikipedia, the page says so plainly. Where sources disagree, we give each version and who says it. Tennis, badminton, squash, padel and pickleball are separate sports with separate bodies, tours and seasons, and their results are kept apart. No prize money or other money figures appear on these pages.
A season that is still running gets no champion and no year-end No. 1 on these pages, even where a player or team leads the rankings or the race on the research date.
Status on 26 October 2026
Some dates and places in these tables rest on Wikipedia, a single press report or a search summary rather than an organiser's own page (among them the Australian Open and Wimbledon final dates, the Billie Jean King Cup Finals dates and venue, and the Thomas and Uber Cup dates). The sources for each row are on the sport's own page in this section, which labels each of those.
