A new year is here.
As in recent years, we will predict the WTA top 8 for the end of the year. There will be more details on this such as deadlines, either in this thread or in a separate thread. But we usually allow people a week or so of scouting early in the season before submitting their picks. Would be nice to have more than 3 contestants, especially as it's something easy to participate in.
Tennis starts in about 12 hrs or so with the United Cup. Then the regular tour events start on the 5th so Monday.

For wisewords, I have a tiebreaker in mind for the Better sister comp. Let me know when you see this I will let you know. We need to make our picks before early Saturday morning for this, but ideally as soon as possible.

Christian's Court
@christianscourt Taylor Fritz just seen talking to the tournament director about his knee issue. Fritz told the press ahead of the United Cup that he's battling through "pretty serious tendonitis". World No. 114 Mackie McDonald would likely replace Fritz in the remaining ties if needed. would explain his weak performance yesterday. Didn't look his best. Not a good sign to have this carry over from the previous season after a six week break. Not sure if he played exhos during that time, if so that will not have helped. |

Cobolli with a blinding pass to go 4-2 up !
At 5-4* in the TB someone left up a monster Cobolli lay 1.51, all snipered by someone there when Stan lost the point Still blows my mind people effectively are placing huge bets at a monster point where they are only getting their 1.51 lay matched if it goes a certain way and they could have just layed at 1.11 instead after that point |

Novak Djokovic
@DjokerNole After careful consideration, I have decided to step away completely from the Professional Tennis Players Association. This decision comes after ongoing concerns regarding transparency, governance, and the way my voice and image have been represented. |
|
By:
came to post that here about Novak. I thought he was Mr. PTPA so I find this a bit strange. I wonder when things started to go wrong between them. I don't actually really know who's behind the PTPA, just that they were able to get Novak & Vasek to be faces for it

shall we just call it a draw in the Better sister comp 2025 and see who wins the 2026 edition instead?
|
|
By:
also what does everyone think about the nationality changes?
Kasatkina: Russia to Australia Potapova: Russia to Austria Rakhimova: Russia to Uzbekistan Timofeeva: Russia to Uzbekistan P Kudermetova: Russia to Uzbekistan previously: Gracheva: Russia to France Avanesyan: Russia to Armenia I wonder who will be next.. |

btw, VK is just doing damage control regarding the Rune stuff. she's not really sorry about it

anyone know when edy will be back posting on the tennis?
|

By:
Kasatkina is only 28 years old but I'm getting an inkling that the 2026 season is going to be a very difficult one for her. I only see regression in her game, and it will only get harder for her to maintain the level of her super physical game style. she's trying to put more on her serve / go for it more, but this really doesn't suit her. she hit 16 double faults in 16 service games yesterday against Potapova; a dreadful rate that really demonstrates how much she is over-straining herself in attempt to serve bigger.

Raducanu's still got a foot problem. another messy season riddled with random injuries coming up for her, mixed in with some false dawns when she wins a couple of matches at some random tournament in April. market will probably still price her mad though which is good for us.
Ka Plis playing in Brisbane shortly against Baptiste. will be interesting to see how she gets on because she wasn't very good in her small comeback tournaments last year. not holding much hope for her tbh, and would not be surprised at all if this is her final year on tour. |

Emma had a good and more healthy season in 2025 compared to previous years.
I do find it a bit irresponsible to sign up for United Cup though if you are not 100% and risk leaving your team with a mug line-up like Billy Harris and Katie Swan. She's still scheduled to play against pigeon Maria Sakkari today. |
|
By:
KaPlis withdrew.
|
|
By:
early doors yet, but I say Taylor Fritz will fall out of the top 10 this season.
|
|
By:
for a guy who wants to challenge for slams he really doesn't help himself with his scheduling/maintaining his body
at least he just won this 3 hour pointless grindfest in united cup when he's not 100% fit though |
|
By:
no idea what he is doing, he should be smarter than this.
reason I say he's done, is because he's been struggling with tendonitis since at least the end of the last season, and he looks like he has lost a step. Makes no sense for him to play this mug event. |

Eva Lys who normally struggling to win games against Iga is playing lights out today.

with Iga also mugging a bit.
