Gauff seals WTA Finals Crown in Saudi stunner, Alcaraz defeated as ATP Finals begin

Tour finals galore! We're all back once again at Tennis Weekly HQ to look back on the past week of action, which saw Coco Gauff clinch the WTA Finals in Saudi Arabia in thrilling fashion (along with a tasty pay packet). Meanwhile, the ATP Finals got underway in Turin where Carlos Alcaraz suffered an opening defeat to Casper Ruud whilst the trio discuss Stefanos Tsitsipas’s recent social media comments on the new two week Masters 1000 format and argue over whether it should have a future on the circuit. Qualifiers Benjamin Bonzi and Denis Shapovalov also brought home the Metz and Belgrade titles respectively, and Britain’s Cam Norrie reached another ATP Final in a more positive end to a difficult season. Iga Swiatek is also in Malaga as the Billie Jean King Cup Finals begin, looking to end the season on a high after a tricky few months on tour.
