Someone told me this was “discrediting” the winners of those tournaments 😂 and all i did was acknowledge the pattern. the players who lifted the trophies still won the matches to be able to do so.

When Alcaraz or Sinner lose early or withdraw from a big event…the winner is often just up in the air.

Shanghai - Alcaraz withdraws, Sinner loses early = Rinderknech vs Vacherot final

Miami - Alcaraz lost early, Sinner on suspension = Jakub Mensik wins

Paris Masters last year - Alcaraz loses early, Sinner withdraws = Zverev def. Humbert in the final

Montreal last year - Alcaraz withdraws, Sinner loses early = Popyrin def. Rublev in the final

Who’s played the best tennis in 2025? 🎾

Paolini, Andreeva, or Rybakina?

Remember when Anett Kontaveit made the tail end of the season in 2021 worth watching?

Or at least she did for me.

Or when Felix Auger-Aliassime went on that run at the end of 2022?

Something like that would make the end of this season more intriguing to watch.

The tour isn’t exciting right now….

The stars aren’t delivering and the randoms aren’t dynamic enough to care.

It’s like every-time someone gets some shine, they suck the next three tournaments.

Amanda A is cool but uninteresting, and the only one showing up.

I can’t be the only person looking at these draws at the tournaments in Shanghai & Wuhan and feeling like they’re….blah?

Am I missing the spark in the tennis or are the tours actually missing a bit of spark right now?

There should only be indoor tournaments during October and November.

Seems cruel to have players look physically depleted during this time of the year when they’ve already played through 10 months and 4 grand slams

Dang, Shang!

This one has to feel good for Jerry Shang.

Coming into Shanghai with a 1-5 record since his return to the tour in July, the 20yo scores the biggest win of his career.

Shang gets past Karen Khachanov, 7-6³, 6-3, to notch his first top 10 victory at home. 💪👐
