Elena Rybakina and Mirra Andreeva are neck and neck for the 8th spot in the Race, which means qualification for the WTA Finals.

While the Russian has decided not to play this week, the Kazakh is competing in Tokyo. If she wants to qualify, she needs two wins. She will face Leylah Fernandez in the first round, then Victoria Mboko or Eva Lys next.

But Rybakina has reasons to be cautious since three of these four players have beaten her in the last three months: Fernandez in Washington, Mboko in Montreal, and Lys in Beijing.

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.
