Alcatraz just got a taste of French crowd leading 5 - 0 in the 2nd set against Gaston, then the crowd went wild and cheered on every missed serve and took him out of the game. Lost 7-5.

Hurkacz shot up to #7 in the race with his SF run in Paris. Ruud gets the last spot for the WTF. Good for Hubie, he deserves it. Ruud OTOH is deader money than Schwartzman last year. Sinner is first alt.

Congrats to Vax for 7th year end #1.

Groups for the next Gen finals are out:

A:
Alcaraz
Nakashima
Cerundolo
Rune

B:
Korda
Musetti
Baez
Gaston

Nice win for Djokovic today. First time he’s ever been an underdog to Medvedev.

Sinner will likely play in WTF after all as Berettini withdrawn from match vs Zverev

Sinner will enter the top 10 if he can beat #9 Hurkacz tomorrow.

Sinner still has theoretical chances to advance, but on what trip they came up with a system where second criteria after number of wins is number of matches played, the more, the better?

Sinner loses to Medvedev but had match points in the 3rd set breaker. It was a dead rubber as Zverev had already grabbed the semi final spot.

Sinner so close to being the first alternate I’m aware of to win 2 matches. Overall he has to be pleased to finish the year in the top 10.

At the 1998 ATP Finals, Agassi withdrew down 2-1 in the deciding set against Corretja and was replaced by 1st alternate Rusedski. Rios withdrew afte losing to Henin and was replaced by 2nd alternate Costa. So there were two alternates in the same group who would each get to play two matches, not only that, but the two alternates would play each other.

Rusedski beat Herman and Costa however did not qualify due to the matches played tiebreaker.

1. Henman 2-1 (won H2H v Corretja)
2. Corretja 2-1
3. Rusedski 2-0 (didn’t even lose a set)
4. Costa 0-2

Medvedev v Zverev in the finals. Medvedev won last 5 of their matches, including in group stage.

In other news it is confirmed that only vaccinated would be allowed to AO, and Novax demurred question on if he will participate

Indeed. And a full bonus is the final two in the ATP finals are former thread people.

Zverev won. So only thing that remains in this season is Davis Cup finals, over next two weeks starting on Thursday

Out of top 10 Novax, Medvedev, Rublev and Sinner are playing (also quite a few players out of pairs top 10). I foresee Russia (aka RTF) v Serbia in the finals

As if there was ever really much doubt. Slam 21 way more important than some vaccine attention nonsense.

Really wish that wildcards were offered by international organisations rather than host nations.

Sam Stosur does not deserve a wildcard for the 2022 Australian Open. Great doubles player, but her singles has been mostly trash for the past 8-9 years.

Her age: 37y 9m
Her ranking: 382
Her last 10 matches on tour: LLLLLLLLLW (newest listed first)
Her last 10 matches at the Australian Open: LWLLLLLLWL (newest listed first)

Her only win in almost two years was against an Australian wildcard ranked 203 at this year's Australian Open.

Yes I’m happy that she has finally officially announced that she is retiring from singles. If she was prepared to earn her way into your tournaments, great, good luck to her, but she has had a year of handouts and I’m glad that won’t be continuing.
