"A Monday final is absolutely absurd," Stubbs slams ATP's choices

The decision to schedule the Cincinnati tournament final on Monday is clearly not to everyone's taste. Rennae Stubbs, a former Australian player, criticized the organization in a post on her social media:

"A Monday final is absolutely absurd! I’m sure the US Open isn’t happy either. This hurts fan week and maybe even the mixed doubles tournament, in which they’ve invested a lot of money and fans paid to see these names. Tennis really needs a commissioner!"

For context, following the new 12-day Masters 1000 reform, tournaments are now scheduled across two weeks. This choice is justified by the goal of increasing revenue and giving players more rest between matches.

It’s worth noting that Monte-Carlo and the Rolex Paris Masters are the only tournaments in this category still played over a single week.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
