Completely tarnished. That is how the WTA 500 Ningbo 2024 draw looks after Jasmine Paolini and Emma Navarro announced their last-minute withdrawal due to physical discomfort, while all signs point to Qinwen Zheng doing the same. The almost finalized distribution of tickets to the WTA Finals 2024 has influenced the decisions of these players, opening up the draw to possible surprises.

Carlos Alcaraz experienced some issues with his flight to Riyadh to compete in the upcoming week's Six Kings Slam exhibition, so he had to extend his stay in Shanghai for a few days. These days were not wasted for the Murcian, as Roger Federer was a luxury spectator at the tournament and wanted to take the opportunity to dust off his racket and practice with the current world number 2, leaving a nice final photo.

Iga Swiatek reappears this Monday at the top of the WTA ranking, thus adding 50 consecutive weeks leading this classification, something she had already achieved before. In fact, she is the seventh woman in history to have multiple stints of 50 weeks as number 1, joining Evert, Navratilova, Graf, Seles, Hingis, and Serena. It will be challenging for her to extend her stay if she continues without competing and sees how Sabalenka extends her good form.
ANOTHER 1GA MILESTONE❗

Pedro Martínez put the cherry on top of a memorable week in his hometown tournament in Valencia, at the 2024 Faulcombridge Cup.

When asked about the lessons from this match during a press conference, she was resolute. "I am glad to see that I am improving, I have felt much closer than in the Australian Open. However, I need to keep working to be better. I would say my tennis has been a 5 or 6 out of 10.

Aryna Sabalenka continues to move forward in her desire to return to the top spot of the WTA rankings. Her magnificent Asian tour results in the Belarusian now being just 69 points away from Iga Swiatek, whose situation in this final stretch of the season is not very promising for her. Furthermore, Cori Gauff returns to the top 3 at the expense of Pegula, and Beatriz Haddad-Maia enters the world's top 10, causing Barbora Krejcikova to drop out. Anna Kalinskaya (12), Magdalena Frech (24), and Rebeca Sramkova (53) achieve the best ranking of their sporting careers.

Jannik Sinner has gone six consecutive sets without giving up a single opportunity on his serve when facing Novak Djokovic. Yes, you read that correctly. In the two matches that the Italian and the Serb have played this season, Sinner has been so solid on serve that he hasn't even allowed Novak a single break point. Simply incredible.
