Cobolli and Bergs shed blood, sweat, and tears in one of the greatest tie-breaks in living memory. Insane tennis, insane atmosphere, insane everything.

Good as it gets.

Reflections on yesterday’s final.

Sinner is indisputably the best indoor player in the world. Relentless precision. Amazing.

Carlos also amazed. He’s gone from clearly neither liking nor thriving indoors to being the second best in the world at it. Exponential growth.

Good luck to the rest.

As we march toward what looks like another Sinner-Alcaraz final, curious to get y’all’s thoughts:

Who has had the third-best season in mens tennis? The fourth-best? And why?

Checks score. Presumes Carlitos blew Felix off the court.

The final Sincaraz final of the year. Salivation.

It’s been very hard to imagine anyone beating Carlitos or Sinner at this stage of a tournament for about two years now. Hard to imagine it will be any different today.

Just think. We don’t have to see or hear from Zverev again until 2026. Bliss.

Can’t watch but wishing Felix godspeed in destroying the toxic pterodactyl.

Carlos Alcaraz will be the year-end No. 1 for the second time in his career. Younger to do that at 22 than any of the Big Three

Carlos Alcaraz secures year-end No. 1 ranking with ATP Tour Finals win over Lorenzo Musetti
It is the second time the Spaniard has achieved the milestone in his career, at just 22 years old.

And now officially. The end of year world #1…

Carlitos ‘muthafuckn’ Alcaraz Garfia.
November 13, 2025 at 9:19 PM
Correct me if I’m wrong but Carlos is now guaranteed 11650 points for making the SF and Sinner would end with 11500 points if he won the tournament undefeated.

C’mon Alex. C’MON!!
November 13, 2025 at 2:36 PM
Man, I hope Alex can find a way today. Feels like an age since he beat a top ten player. Dude sorely deserves a big win.
November 13, 2025 at 1:05 PM
What a match. How much did those guys give out there? Everything. All of it.

Grazie. 🔥🎾

Perfect match for Carlitos to bed himself in. De Minaur can’t beat him but can run him around plenty. 32 winners. BHDTL on fire. Looking good. 👍🏻🔥

You gotta think that Carlitos will bring everything he’s got to Turin. He’s not as good as Sinner on indoor hard (no one is) but if he’s feeling it he can take out everyone else and secure #1. Methinks it will be a very spicy week.

15/20% more muscle and power and Tien could be a proper menace.

In truth, Rybakina’s entire vibe reminds me of a Soviet era gymnast. And I can’t say anything sadder and more depressing than that.
November 8, 2025 at 7:09 PM
Astounding hitting from Rybakina but, I’m gonna say it, not a great match from Aryna. Slices, short angles, droppers. She has them. Felt like ego got in the way. ‘No one hits me off the court’. Rybakina’s an average mover. Make her pay for that vulnerability if you’ve got the tools…
November 8, 2025 at 6:18 PM
Aryna’s added so many layers to her game and none of them are here. If you’re being wiped from the baseline gotta try something else...
November 8, 2025 at 5:27 PM
Rybakina’s spears of ice are melting Aryna’s bolts of fire…

Hell of a set. ❄️🔥
November 8, 2025 at 5:01 PM
One of the best sets I’ve ever seen Musetti play. Absolutely elite.

But it’s time for Aryna and Elena. Boom.

The Sincaraz practice set in Turin is friendly fire. It’s also the best tennis played anywhere in the world. The speed, power, and dynamism is just surreal.
November 8, 2025 at 1:03 PM
There’s a limit to my excitement when Pegula’s involved but that was a match. Rybakina erratic as hell but she really banged it when it mattered. 50% of the final is set.
