After two losses in the group stage in Riyadh, the American chose not to shake hands with Anisimova due to a virus, casting doubt on her participation on Wednesday.

Madison Keys, defeated in her first two group matches by Iga Swiatek (6-1, 6-2) and Amanda Anisimova (4-6, 6-3, 6-2), has not displayed her best level at these WTA Finals.

The Australian Open champion from earlier this season avoided the traditional handshake with Anisimova this Monday, citing a health issue.

Already eliminated from the Serena Williams group, Keys is scheduled to face Elena Rybakina on Wednesday. However, given her condition, the world No. 7 might withdraw from this final match, giving her spot to Mirra Andreeva, the tournament's first alternate.

Last year, Jessica Pegula experienced a similar situation, having withdrawn after losing her first two group matches.

Omnipresent cameras, line judges on the verge of extinction, mistakes that persist nonetheless: technology fascinates as much as it divides. Tennis, at a crossroads, is still searching for its balance between progress and emotion.

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.
