From ⁠⁠⁠Top 10⁠⁠⁠ Rankings to the Results of the past Week, Dr Berge reviews all ⁠⁠⁠key⁠⁠⁠ matches and ⁠⁠⁠key⁠⁠⁠ players from the last week on the WTA tour: China Open (China) ; followed by this week’s tournament on the WTA tour (still in-action ): China Open (China) ; PLUS the last week on the ATP tour: Chengdu Open (China), Hangzhou Open (China), Japan Open (Japan) & China Open (China) ; followed by this week’s tournament on the ATP tour (still in-action ): Shanghai Masters (China) . This week’s episode talks about schedule differences for ‘real’ Top 10 players v. those who haven’t stacked up the matches, how Swiatek, Sabalenka and Gauff’s game vary and why the rankings are ‘true’ depictions of the season at this stage. Dr Berge also talks about Alcaraz and Sinner, what the No. 1 ranking wars could look like on both tours at the season Finals, plus why ‘top seeds’ fall earlier late in the season, and why we see ‘fresh faces’ with deep runs in the last quarter of the season. This week’s episode shares both WORK BOOK⁠ + ⁠BLACK BOOK⁠ updates, rankings notes around the 8%⁠ and how the ⁠8⁠ ⁠Keys⁠ are responsible for a number of breakthrough results. The Video for episode 180 is available on both Spotify & YouTube whilst remaining available wherever you enjoy listening. ⁠⁠⁠Key⁠⁠⁠ Players this week include: Tabilo (W), Musetti (R/u), Bublik (W), Royer (R/u), Alcaraz (W) & Fritz (R/u) – Congratulations to all!
