Elena Rybakina is on the hunt for points at the end of this season. The Kazakh player is in the running for the WTA Finals alongside Mirra Andreeva. Her final this Sunday in Ningbo against Ekaterina Alexandrova was therefore of great importance.

But it was a rough start for Rybakina, broken right away. Despite two break-back opportunities, it was the Russian who took the first set with a score of 6-3.

However, the Kazakh player then showed a completely different side. She won 12 of the next 14 games thanks to strong serving and better returns.

Rybakina wins 3-6, 6-0, 6-0 and claims her 10th career title in Ningbo. Registered to play in Tokyo next week, she will need two wins to qualify for the WTA Finals, as Andreeva has decided not to play.

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.
