TENNIS thread-Au-revoir Paris- it's all about the Race for Turin. Who will be the last man and woman standing in 2025?

[Raahh]

So much going on at once!

Forza!!

Yes!!

He's fighting so hard? Come on Lore

Elena has beaten Aryna in the WTA finals. Aryna did well to come back in the second set and take it to a tiebreaker but couldn’t keep it up.

Aryna is not very happy!

Elena has won in Riyadh- I'm pleased about that.

This game is torture.

It really was. I feel gutted for Lore.

I ca't believe how hard Lore keeps working to break back- just to lose on his own serve .

Well done to Elena, and to Learner.

Yes, I'm pleased for Tien, he's had a really good break through year.

Crap.

poor Lorenzo.

He missed Turin by 5 points.

Oh man I hope Lore is smiling because Djok just told him he’s not playing Turin.

Ugh.

I'd rather watch the crap Celebrity Circle before Strictly , than this trophy celebration.

Poor Lore, nice hug at the end

Oh, I hope so.

Lol, Stef showing up randomly and putting himself in the official pictures.

Yay, Djokovic is out of Turin. Apparently he really did tell Lore at the net

So pleased for Learner.

He really is the Devil.

Fancy putting his fellow player through all that (and he knew before he played Athens- of course he did. He's not going to win. He's not playing the WTFs if he doesn;t have a shot at winning)

And where did the shoulder injury come from?

he's not even played for weeks?

Not that I care any more.

FORZA Lore.

Bublik has now been named first alternate- in theory, Casper is next in line for 2nd alternate.

But this far down the line, he might have other plans, and, having not played for a few weeks, not willing to go.

But I don't know if the second alternate gets paid whether or not. Babies are expensive.

Thought that's what he said to him. And of course he couldn't have told him beforehand, lore deserved the chance to qualify on his own merit.

He did. I wish he could have won another match last week.

It feels like Djok held the power. And liked it.
