Jannik Sinner is through his first match in Turin, shame Feliz Auger Aliassime could not put up much of a fight after the 5-all game in the 1st. Let’s see how the rest of the tournament goes for him or if he will be replaced by an alternate.

Jannik Sinner takes the first set against Felix Auger Aliassime after an almost hour long set. But not sure there is much FAA can give from here on out. He seems to have picked up an injury of some nature.

Taylor Fritz comes out on top against Lorenzo Musetti who was constantly fighting to stay in the match. Fast, indoor, hard is just not his surface and when Taylor is serving so well it’s tough to break through.

Sometimes Lorenzo Musetti can hit that single handed cross court and you can’t help but gasp! He is down a break in his first match at #NittoATPFinals 🎾 but looking better than I thought he might considering.

Love it when a sponsor comes correct!
Bolelli & Vavassori also walked out like this yesterday. EA7 - really are the fashion winners this #NittoATPFinals 🎾
Hope the others are paying attention. Why didn’t everyone get a new kit for the Finals?

Good start for Carlos Alcaraz in Turin, who funny enough has never won his match at the ATP Finals before. He defeats Alex De Minaur in his first match this year and makes a step forward to the title and ending the year as Year End no. 1

Don’t think I have ever had a worse time watching a tennis match. For so many reasons. Come listen to the pod on Monday to find out why. Oh well.
Djokovic wins. Musetti loses the match. Let’s see what happens for the ATP Finals. 😔 🎾

Anyone who watched Elena Rybakina’s last 2 tournaments to qualify for the Yesr End Finals would have seen this coming. Boy is she back. Please keep this for 2026 gurl. Should be exciting.

Wow!
That actually put a smile on my face. What a match and a tiebreak. In their 4th meeting this year Learner Tien gets his 3rd win over Norrie to win his first ATP final in Metz. The first of many I am sure.

- Sabalenka and Rybakina are putting on a SHOW at the #WTAFinalsRiyadh (those balls 🎾 never had a chance)
- Lorenzo Musetti is fighting for his life (and a spot in the #NittoATPFinals) against Djokovic
- Norrie v Tien is a lefty masterpiece

The WTA Finals Champions once again. Kudermetova/Mertens are 2nd time champions. Not the winniest of teams but they win the big ones. A fun team.
Great match by Babos/Stefani, last ones in but got all the way to the end. Great season for the pair.

Same can be said too of Babos/Stefani who I can guarantee were not the faves to get out of their group and took out Ostapenko/Hsieh to get to the finals. They break back and things are getting interesting.

Good Morning. The Doubles Final is underway in Riyadh. Haven’t talked about the doubles as much as we would like but the surprise has to be Kudermetova/Mertens who took out favourites Townsend/Sinakova to make the finals. The Wimbledon champs are up by a break.

Aryna Sabalenka is the common denominator in all the best rivalries in Women's tennis right now. Whether she's playing Swiatek, Gauff, Rybakina or Anisimova you know it is a must watch event! You have to play your best to beat her and that produces elite encounters with the best in the world
