ATP 1000 Monte Carlo, Monaco and Billie Jean King Cup, Orlando, Fl, USA

 

Now you guys know I could not resist but am not witty enough (like Lowie or Peter😂) to come up with who will eclipse whom in tennis....😎😎🙄  Where is LL when you need her?

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

Monte Carlo and BJKC and Charleston again

 ATP Monte Carlo; WTA Charleston 2; ITF BJKC playoffs

Here comes the first big one on clay for the men. The Monte Carlo Masters. The women have a Fed Cup Billie Jean King Cup appointment - the World Group playoffs (I think), and Charleston was nice enough to warrant another week there, but this time just a WTA 250. I'm gonna start with the grand!
