Marla Singer Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 That was such a great final. I was expecting a more one-sided match but Pegula played really well to make it competitive and keep the pressure on Sabalenka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyandground Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 2000s born kids have started to dominate the tour! Poor 90s born players have no enough time to shine The 2 GS they won happened during the height of Covid too... 2023 Djokovic winning 3 GS -> 2024 Sinner/Alcaraz winning 2 GS each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top players 15, 20 years ago used to play at least 20 tournaments per year with full on Asian swing and hard court indoor with WTA finals taking place there. Asian swing/Indoor hard court swing is just as important as any other part of the season. Why is she not asking for shorter clay season?? And tennis seasons are not made only for richest top players, there are other players who need to play to earn money and a lot of times players used to gain momentum in those part of seasons like Zvonareva and Jankovic, and in recent years Kontaveit. I used to like the fall schedule when Virginia Slims was the sponsor. All those epic matches with Navratilova, Graf, Seles, Capriati, Sabatini, etc made women's tennis in the fall must-see TV. The Asian swing, as currently constructed, doesn't really do it for me. They either need to get rid of it, make it for U21, or move it to start a new season in November (and move up the WTA Finals to the 2nd half of September, following the US Open). The Asian swing in November would be a seamless ramp up to the Australian leg in late December/January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride4jc1222 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 The fall ATP schedule is ass backwards. If I were in charge, I'd do it in reverse: Sept 16 (1500): ATP Finals - season end break - Nov 4 (250): Belgrade, Metz Nov 11 (1000): Paris Masters Nov 18 (500): Basel, Vienna Nov 25 (250): Almaty, Antwerp, Stockholm Dec 2 (1000): Shanghai Masters Dec 9 (500): Beijing, Tokyo Dec 16 (250): Chengdu, Hangzhou Then after this, you can just seamlessly transition into the Australian leg of the season.

pride4jc1222 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I don't know, it just doesn't make sense to me to do the Asian swing now, then go to Europe in October/November before doing the ATP Finals, especially considering the Asian cities have a warmer climate in the fall/winter than the European cities. It makes more sense to end the season climatically with the ATP Finals fresh off the US Open, then stay in Europe for November (after the month-long season end break), before doing the Asian swing in December, and finally moving to the Australian leg in late December/January. Makes a lot more sense and a lot less travelling for the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fall schedule has been a mess since the WTA dropped Virginia Slims as a sponsor. The WTA either needs to make these tournaments U21 or move up the WTA Finals to the last 2 weeks of September. I have seen high school girls tennis tournaments field better than what we have at Seoul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
