Before the start of the WTA 1000 in Dubai, Aryna Sabalenka spoke about Jannik Sinner's suspension and the workings of anti-doping institutions.

The world No. 1 spoke of her "fear" of contamination and the precautions she is now taking:

"We're starting to be more careful. For example, before, I didn't worry about going to the toilet in a restaurant and leaving my glass of water on the table.

But now, I don't drink from the same glass.

You become a little too aware of things and they get into your head. For example, if someone used a cream on us and it tested positive, they're not going to believe us.

You become too scared of the system. I don't see how I can trust the system."

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.
