Fed Cup Final; ATP Next Gen Finals
 |
| What can I say? It's a global sport! |
We had the SWTAFS, but the real end of the season for the women is always The Fed Cup Final. The men turn into boys for one week with The Milan Next Gen Finals, as an appetizer for London.
Fed Cup Final, Perth
 |
| Swan River, Perth |
Australia v France! Ash Barty can have one of the greatest years in tennis! GS winner, YEC winner (pending, antijinx!) and Fed Cup winner! She practically carried her team through the previous ties, getting points after points. She's the 1st ever in Fed Cup history to go undefeated in 6 consecutive rubbers in the final stages of the competition. Can she finish the job? Hell yeah! Oi oi oi!
But let's not get carried away!
They're gonna play this on HC, outdoor. This is the venue of the event: |
| RAC Arena |
Australia:
 |
| Ashleigh Barty, Ajla Tomljanovic (finally can play), Samantha Stosur, Astra Sharma, Priscilla Hon |
France:
 |
| Kristina Mladenovic, Caroline Garcia, Alize Cornet, Fiona Ferro, Pauline Parmentier |

| Happy French people |
Onto the boys.
Next Gen ATP Finals, Milan
 |
| Il Duomo (I tried for modern Milan but it sucked!) |
So here we find the best 21 or under dudes in the ATP. Except we don't quite get them, as the ones that hit the big time already (The Tsi) are not going to play kiddie tennis anymore! And others are feeling the end of season blues (FAA and The Shap - the notorious Glass Canucks! sorry Hartt! :)) ). OK then. The leftovers are divided in two groups, imaginatively named A and B:
Group A
Alex de Minaur
Casper Ruud
Miomir Kecmanovic
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
Group B
Frances Tiafoe
Ugo Humbert
Mikael Ymer
Jannik Sinner (WC and fabulously ginger!)
DRAW/STANDINGS
