What happens in the ATP’s Asian swing is likely to decide who ends up on top of the year-end rankings, Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner.

Caught a few minutes of the TGL golf thing - the golf/virtual event played in a stadium/arena. Maybe I am just too old for it but it’s hard to explain just how boring it was.
