Jannik Sinner is back at No.1 after lifting the title in Paris for the first time. He surpasses Carlos Alcaraz for at least a week as the battle to be the year end No.1 heats up ahead of the ATP Finals. Sinner overcame Felix Auger Aliassime in the final to win his first Masters 1000 of the year but it will be a tall order if he is to retain the number 1 ranking from Alcaraz in Turin. Elsewhere the WTA Finals have kicked off and it has been full of surprises with Iga Swiatek going down to Rybakina, winning just 1 game in the final two sets. Defending Champion Coco Gauff looked out of sorts as she was defeated by friend and countrywoman Jessica Pegula in three sets after making 75 unforced errors and 17 double faults. Can she turn it around and make the semifinals? Madison Keys was eliminated after losing both of her matches and it will be a shootout between Anisimova and Swiatek to make the semis.
There was joy for Victoria Mboko who won her second WTA title of the year after a difficult few months following her victory at home in Canada. Mboko will finish the year in the top 10 and will be a big name to watch in 2026.
We also cover the action from the final week of ATP action as Novak Djokovic plays in Athens and Lorenzo Musetti needs to win the title to qualify for the end of season finals or Felix Auger Aliassime will be heading to Turin!
As always Joel and Chris play a Tennis Weekly Quiz and we have a Mirra Andreeva Mailbag to unpack as to why she skipped the final week of qualifying for the WTA Finals.
