Catherine, David and Matt react to Jannik Sinner’s title in Paris and the first couple of days of action at the WTA Finals.
Part one - ATP. Sinner is the Paris champion and the World No.1 again, but he will finish the season on top or will it be Carlos Alcaraz? We chat about that race, Sinner’s astonishing performances all week in Paris, and how the final spot in Turin all comes down to the last week of the season as Felix Auger-Aliassime and Lorenzo Musetti’s fates could be decided by Novak Djokovic.
Part two - WTA (30:17). We all predicted Amanda Anisimova to win the title at the WTA Finals, but she lost her opening match 6-3 6-1 to Elena Rybakina. So what happened? And can she bounce back? We chat about the disappointing matches so far, Jasmine Paolini being under the weather, and the return of Coco Gauff’s double fault issues against Jessica Pegula. Plus, Victoria Mboko has ended the year on a high with another title.
Part three - News (50:31). We pay tribute to the retiring Rohan Bopanna and we say goodbye to our beloved Rosie.
