The ATP Finals is a hard, hard tournament to care about. Everyone's exhausted, some are hurt, the serve dominates matches, even ostensibly good matchups have rarely been close in the past few editions. It always looks great on paper beforehand and then ends up as wet pulp.

Always enjoy these lists

There’s an interesting narrative thread for many of these top WTA players, in that they’ve struggled with specific goals but achieved others — and how do they feel about the trade-off?

Rybakina continuing a tradition of a last minute WTA qualification leading to the trophy.

Aryna losing a tiebreak 0-7 is just a wild final set/match/tournament for the season.

Wow. The mental stress is visible on the court when these two play. Championship point.

Whoa.

Well, this set does deserve a tiebreak

This match kinda deserves a third set But let’s see

Learner Tien wins 6-3, 3-6, 7⁸-6⁶ against Cam Norrie Comes from 1-5 down in the match tiebreak to take a 1st ever ATP Tour Title. Led that final set 4-1 and it got real interesting 📸 Vincent Thian/AP Photo

Aryna channeling her own imperious mode

Imperious Elena mode

Ahhh that was a MATCH. My goodness what a season for Anisimova. Truly incredible.

I think maybe all my favorite matches this year have been Anisimova versus whoever she’s playing.

This is the kind of match WTA Finals dream matchups are made of

Watching back Sabalenka/Pegula. Aryna and Elena are looking pretty dominant.

Ons!

Amanda Anisimova: It’s really important to let girls and boys know to make the right decisions for yourself and listen to yourself and not try and say yes to everything and feel like you have to do certain things. I think that’s a big killer in certain ways..." www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/n...

Well, that outcome wasn’t unexpected Next match should be more competitive

Think this is the first time Iga/Madi have played since AO SF?

No. 1 seeds Sara Errani & Jasmine Paolini come out of the gates strong with a comprehensive 6-3, 6-3 win over No. 8 Demi Schuurs & Asia Muhammad. Their impressive 2025 haul includes a Roland Garros trophy, 3 masters 1000 titles, and BJK Cup win for Team Italy 🇮🇹

Psyched to watch the WTA Finals starting today. Saturday start and time zone ideal. 🙌

Katerina Siniakova and Hsieh Su-Wei, the two most accomplished doubles players of this generation and longtime rivals, are teaming up together this week as the top seeds in Ningbo. This should be fun 🍿

Haven’t managed to watch much (any?) of the Asian swing with time zones, pumped for the WTA finals matchups

italy bjkc squad are such a vibe man

Reusable.

Italy winning BJK Cup is its own kind of throwback … but man, I really wanted to see the doubles of that one.

Iga and Krejcikova/Siniakova tournament wins feels like a nostalgic throwback

This BJK deciding doubles 👀

Team USA came up short, but American Rajeev Ram was arguably the biggest winner this weekend in Delray 🇺🇸 I wrote about why this was such a huge win for Rajeev (and doubles) given his surprisingly complicated Davis Cup journey these last few years. thetennistribe.com/rajeev-ram-d...

✨🏆 Teens taking home first WTA titles 🏆✨

Pretty sweet to win your first WTA titles with a lob winner 🙌

Rajeev/Krajick!

So sorry this took so long! NEW: "The Corporate Sleaze" The USO is over and we're left with a lingering ick about that orange guy and how the USTA handled it. Of course, we also talk Carlos and Aryna's big wins, commentating outside the lines, and actually protecting women in sport

Victor Barber’s back in town …

Sloane on the desk in hilarious

Next time, for all time

✅Coco Gauff (Roland Garros) ✅Iga Swiatek (Wimbledon) ✅Aryna Sabalenka (US Open) the WTA top 3 all hold grand slam titles this year I don’t want to hear anything about how the WTA has no consistency, these women each hold multiple slam titles in a very competitive tour! & the best is yet to come🫶🏻

Poor Amanda’s devastated. But, jeezus, what a year it’s been! Going from the hard moment in her last major only to come back and make another major final instead of shrinking. That’s so courageous. ❤️🎾

amanda has been incredible this year. i am so happy she's back to where she belongs at the top level. her mental strength is getting there. i'm so ready for her to continue to win

Redemption win for Sabalenka

Every match needs one Djokosmash

Two back to back breaks to love 😬

Aww the crowd giving Amanda a standing ovation for that break

Anisimova was moving her feet more against Naomi

I said yesterday, this is a rare matchup that Sabalenka can play well and not win. Most players she plays, if she's playing well, it's good enough every time, but Anisimova is able to dictate play, as she's doing so far. Already 11 winners from Amanda. Anisimova leads *3-2.

Epic hitting from Amanda

Ready for the final.
