Somehow I think Djokovic is unlikely to play in the ATP Finals even though he is qualified because it is reported that he is currently on vacation and also previously he said that besides the Olympics his target is the Davis Cup, because of course losing in the semifinals last year to Italy was quite painful for him because he had several match points when playing against Sinner, a break for the new season could be his focus especially since he has not appointed a permanent coach yet.

WTA Finals start today, Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek are the two favorites in this tournament.

Yes possibly not. I didnt realise there are some more tournaments to be played
next week so yea he may not be playing and there are very few points separating him
from Ruud and de Minaur who is up to 8th today.


My wife told me today that the WTA finals have started and yea Swiatek and
Sabalenka are favourites.

Sabalenka is currently playing Zheng.....there could easily be an upset along the
way to knock out either or both of the favourites!

There are 8 really great players in the draw and I'm really happy to see Paolini there

it's official Djokovic will not play ATP Nitto Finals in Torino since he want try to get the last Slams Title in Australia open and actually has not fully recovered from last injury.
His spot will be taken by Dimitrov or Tsitsipas. Due this forfeit he will also lose enough point to reach...6th place of ATP ranking!
of course at 37 years he is going to give up...

After the retirement of the Rafael Nadal things are looking not good for the Novan Djokovic because he is having backlashes and withdrawing from few important events as well most chances in future we will have him in selective events it's good time for new generation players to make their mark and give their best.

WTA - SINGLES Finals - Riyadh (World)

In Group A, we have Sabalenka already moved into top four with next game is interesting as Paolini will face Zheng for the second spot.

In Group B, we have interesting situation as Gauff currently at the top but after few minutes we have big game while Gauff will face Swiatek as winner will be surely had spot into top four in another game which ended few minutes back we have upset win for the Czech Republic's Krejcikova against 6th seeded Pegula which is now out of event after 2 loses and Krejcikova have last game against Gauff which will decider who is going to be into last four of this event.

He is winding down and still picking up injuries, next year he will play a select few
tournaments, mostly grand slams and masters I expect.

For the ATP finals the last 3 spots have been determined, Ruud, de Minaur and Rublev.
Its a pity Dimitrov didnt get a slot, he had a great season.


WTA finals

Sabalenka and Zheng progress to the semi finals, with 2 of 3 matches played in
group B Swiatek is in 2nd spot.

We have some changes in last few games as Pegula withdrawn from event and replaced by Kasatkina.
Swiatek beats Kasatkina in straight sets for having her chance for spot in last 4, but last match of the group stages is interesting as Gauff struggling to beats Krejcikova.

Gauff lost her service two time and Krejcikova once but at the end of first set we have won for the Krejcikova which is good if she won second set then we will have Swiatek out of the event.

and Krejcikova goes through to the semi finals.

First casualty gas been realised with Swiatek going home and Zheng, Gauff and
Sabalenka joining Krejcikova. Have to say though that Sabalenka is favourite for the
title and the dark horse being Zheng.

But at least its going to be Zheng v Sabalenka in the final to fight it out for the
$4,000,000 prize.

Lineup is already completed for the semifinals of the event as now after few hours we have first match between Zheng vs Krejcikova in this match Zheng is hot favorite due to his recent form while odds are @1.44 even we can expect good resistance from the Krejcikova, but things are clearly favoring Zheng to go into final of this big prize money event.

After this we have second semifinal between Sabalenka vs Gauff here Sabalenka is favorite for the win, but things are not easy for her because Gauff is also doing good and have fair chance of win and go through for the final but mostly are expected we will have final between Zheng vs Sabalenka with Sabalenka is going to win this big prize event just few hours left in all coming out.

Zheng into finals of this WTA Finals as she smashed Krejcikova in first set by 6–3 and now having good start of the second set as well with early break we will have good match between Sabalenka vs Gauff which is going to start after this in few minutes now.

and Zheng gets the job done and she goes into the final against either Sabalenka or Gauff,
it will most likely be Sabalenka although she as already been beaten by Rybakina earlier in
the week whereas Gauff is unbeaten so maybe possibly an upset could be possible.

Whoever progresses they will have a tough job against Zheng and if Gauff progresses I think
her chances will increase! but against Sabalenka he chanc will diminish IMO.
