Aryna Sabalenka left the WTA Finals on a humorous note. During the press conference, the Belarusian discussed her defeat against Elena Rybakina (6-3, 7-6).

In Riyadh, around 10:40 PM, the world number 1 entered the press room smiling, humorously stating: "Can we make it quick? I want to go to the Maldives."

An amusing phrase that made the journalists present laugh. After that, she continued more seriously, highlighting her opponent of the day:

"She played incredibly. As for me, I gave it my all, and I am proud of what we have accomplished. So I am leaving this tournament without any disappointment. I am going to relax in the Maldives, probably with a glass of tequila, think about all this, and analyze my emotions. I just need to improve a bit more. Next year will be better."

An interesting statement that illustrates the very unique personality of the Belarusian.

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.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
