ATP 250s SOFIA, METZ and THE BILLIE JEAN KING CUP SEVILLE



The 2023 Tennis season's end is almost upon us. The WTA regulation tournaments are done save for the Billie Jean King Cup playoffs this week (the rest of the year is sprinkled with WTA Challengers). For the men, after this week's two, 250 tournaments, the WTF caps the ATP season (except for the youngster's Next Gen Finals at the end of this month). 

The WTA Finals in Cancun was marred by controversy and weather; from the conditions to the top women players' discontent with the WTA disrespecting them, ignoring their complaints and the venue not being ready for competition.

Congratulations to this weeks winners:

WTA Finals 
Singles Champion: Iga Swiatek d. Jessica Pegula
Doubles Champions:Siegmund/Zvonareva d. Melichar-Martinez/Perez

Paris Masters
Singles Champion Novak Djokovic d. Grigor Dimitrov
Doubles Champions Gonzalez/Roger-Vasselin d. Ebden/Bopanna
