Darn it, Leylah lost to Shnaider 6-4 6-2 in the Hong Kong semi-finals. Still, that's a good week for Leylah, something to build on for the BJK Cup later this month.

Holger, you had one job. Zverev is now ranked #2 in the world usurping Charlie.

It's not enough for me to root for Zverev on Sunday, but Humbert celebrating winning points late in set 3 when Khachanov was clearly injured was very poor form. Karen made sure to tell him at the net that he was behaving like a goof.

Shapo has won two qualifying matches and will play in the Serbia Open main draw this week.

Bah, Zverev takes the Paris Masters. Perhaps the only other people pleased other than Zverev and his family is Karen Khachanov.

I was actually pleased. Wasn't a fan of how the fans and Humbert treated Khachanov. Regardless of me not caring for Zverev I hate to see bad behaviour rewarded at tournaments.

Yeah, the way Humbert acted in his match versus Khachanov was very immature and while maybe you could excuse it from a guy 17 or 18, Humbert is 26. At any rate, Zverev despite not winning any grand slams (and I hope he never wins one) has had a fine 2024 and deserved the win yesterday.

Shapo with a nice win just now over Marton Fucsovics 6-7 7-5 6-1 at the Serbia Open. That's his 3rd match win as he won two matches in qualies to make the main draw. Keep it going Denis!!

Edit: Up to #70 in the live rankings after this win.

Unless grand slams move to best of 3 i can't see him winning one.

1. 2 sets up against Thiem in his first final, so he's got PTSD
2. Plays tentative under pressure the longer the match goes (Medvedev calling him a pussycat)
3. Body breaks down, he is diabetic.

Novak qualifying for the ATP Finals despite not even playing even close to a full schedule and then deciding meh, I'll pass is quite the flex.

Denis into the quarter-finals in Belgrade following a 6-2 6-4 win over Nuno Borges. He's now up to #66 in the live rankings and will next face Chris O'Connell who is one spot higher at #65

If interested, Shapo did a recent interview with Brittany Maclean. It's just over 13 minutes, but Denis to me appears to be in a good frame of mind and I think it's translating to his positive play on court.

Shapo continues to roll in Belgrade defeating Chris O'Connell 6-2 6-2. Things ramp up tomorrow though as he takes on Jiri Lehecka.

At the WTA Finals, Gaby and Erin sweep their group in doubles as they went 3-0 in their matches winning their final match over Krawczyk and Dolehide 4-6 6-3 10-6. Gaby and Erin are through to the semi-finals.
