the semi finals are set for today.

Zverev v Fritz
Sinner v Ruud

The two unexpected guys there for me are Fritz and Ruud. Ruuds win over
Alcaraz seems to have given him confidence even if Alcaraz was not at 100%.

Zverev had a great win over him also. Pity for Alcaraz that he hasnt been in
top health/form as he was very much favourite to be at least in the final.

I'm still calling a Zverev v Sinner final!
Now we have few minutes left in first semifinal between Zverev vs Fritz after this later tonight we will be having seconded one between Jannik Sinner vs Ruud even both are hot favourite for the win these semifinals but still as we know Tennis is always having surprises things can take changes for any player.

Still, most chances we will be having Jannik Sinner vs Zverev final which is also going to be one-sided because currently we have Sinner on his best while no other is having ability to stop him from winning titles Zverev is good player but in last few months we have his performance unpredictable which is having problem for him as he usually fails against top players in important games even he is also one of the best top ranked players in tennis.

Its more than likely going to be a Zverev v Sinner final. Zverev remains unbeaten
as does Fritz but lets see what way the semi finals pan out....

I havent been too successful so far this tournament, I have been expecting more
3 set matches but they havent transpired - because of the big gap in talent
between 3 players over the others.

Todays matches
Fritz v de Minaur - I would like to think this would be a 3 set match

Sinner v Medvedev - more than likely a 2 set match.
Fritz vs De Minaur were fun to watch as we have good game from both players, but Fritz were at the top of his game as he strongly fights back after losing first set and give himself spot into top four where we will have more exciting games in next few days.

Sinner vs Medvedev this was one-sided affair as we have no resistance from Medvedev 75 minutes and three service breaks were enough for World no #1 to stay at the top of the group.

Now today we have two games first we will have Zverev vs Alcaraz here we have Spaniard slightly favourite after win against Rublev for his try to have spot into top four things are looking not easy, but it's also going to be exciting match in case of win for Alcaraz we will have these players into last four but in case of lost for Alcaraz we will have chance for the Ruud who is going to face Rublev in last game of the group stage.


Well the semi finals are set for today.

Zverev v Fritz
Sinner v Ruud

If Alcaraz withdraws due to illness, it will further open Sinner's chances of becoming champion, his toughest opponent in the semifinals or in the final is Zverev, the others I think will not be an obstacle for Sinner, looks like he wants to end the season perfectly, but next year will be very tough for the Italian player because there are many points to defend, need consistency, healthy and free from injury.
I was also expecting withdrawal from Alcaraz because reports were negative about his health issues, but we have strong comeback by him against Rublev is impressive in second set while we have good resistance from Rublev I was expecting comeback for him as we will be gone into third set but Alcaraz done good work and have won in this as well.

Now for having spot into last 4 we have both Alcaraz and Medvedev in same boat both needs wins against leaders into their groups while both are in good position things could be challenging who will be overcome it's not easy to predict because Sinner vs Medvedev and Zverev vs Alcaraz interesting games.

That was actually a massive win by Sinner. He struggled early on in first set but
as true champions and No.1's he was able to find a way to overcome the problems
and produce a win.

Alcaraz in trouble does mean a clearer path for a win for Sinner, with the exception of
Zverev I dont see anyone else being at his level.

and he is playing at home!
Current situation is clearly indicating we will be having Sinner as champion because no challenger is able to give him challenge with Alcaraz coach already announces he is not 100% which is huge advantage for the local world no 1 Sinner for have won in this event.

Most chances Medvedev will be out of the race for last 4 as he lost early game against Fritz his last game is against Sinner and Fritz going to play against De Minaur which is currently at the bottom of the group Zverev is also strong for the last four with second is not easy due to Alcaraz fitness, it's wide open who is going to progress it's tough job for all three.

Sinner has won 6-4 6-4 with a strong Fritz. The American player is playing really well.
But Sinner is just... the number one... Italians fans are very loud and completely crazy for him like a soccer player ( this could be interesting too...)

Breaking news. According Italian television RAI Alcaraz could give forfait very soon. He has left the training field today after just 10 minutes with cough and covered with a towel.
It seems Dimitrov should join the ATP FInals...

Day two of the Nitto ATP Finals

Upset no.1 - Alcaraz beaten by Ruud - Alcaraz was suffering from an upset stomach!
I never even looked at the odds for Ruud because under normal conditions I believed
he didnt have a chance

In the second match the result went as expected in 2 sets to Zverev - who could be the
dark horse for this title, he has won it 3 times previously.

Todays line up:::::::::

Medvedev v de Minaur - hard to call which way this could go but I recon its destined
for a three setter.

Sinner v Fritz - Sinner is rightly favourite @ 1.14 - this could also be a three setter.

Gauff's win in the WTA final for me was unexpected but yea I have been wrong on
many occasions unfortunately. That was a 3 set battle well done to Coco, she is
actually doing better with her new coach.



Nitto ATP Finals

Group stages started today:

Sinner won against de Minaur
Fritz beat Medvedev

Tomorrow:

Alcaraz v Ruud
Zverev v Rublev

Alcaraz and Zverev for the wins, just have to make a decision on how many games.

We have some good events in progress Sabalenka lost semifinal against Coco Gauff as in first set we have good resistance from World No 1 but in second set we have dominance of Gauff which won with the score of 7–6 and then 6–3. Now we have final of the event after few hours for the prize money of $4,000,000 as in early odds we have Gauff hot favourite for the win, but we can expect good resistance from the Zheng which is also doing good job in last few months for having good success.

ATP - SINGLES Metz France we have 57th seeded English man Norrie into final for facing local boy 124th seeded Bonzi things are interesting for title final as Norrie is looking better, but anything can happen.

ATP - SINGLES Belgrade 2 Serbia We have Canadian Shapovalov into final of this event as he is trying to end his two years drought of winless in big events he is favourite for the title, but local boy is also not bad and can give surprise.

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.


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.
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 chance will diminish IMO.


EDIT


And there we are, theres the upset, Gauff beats Sabalenka! I think Zheng
has a better chance now, although Gauff is favourite.

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.

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.
