This week Erik and Aidan preview the ATP finals which will be taking place this week in Turin. Breaking down each player, from the top 2 of Alcaraz and Sinner, who split the season’s slams and separated themselves from the pack, to Lorenzo Musetti, who barely snuck in as an alternate.

This week Erik and Aidan discuss the Paris Masters 1000 tournament that wrapped up this week. The final Masters event of the year proved to be an eventful one, with the world number one player Carlos Alcaraz falling early in the tournament to British tennis player Cam Norrie. This opened up a lot of the draw, but still, Jannik Sinner seemed unbeatable. He cruised through his matchups, with a standout performance coming in the semifinal where he obliterated Alexander Zverev. However, while Sinner

This week Erik and Aidan discuss the two ATP 500 tournaments that took place this past week in Vienna and Basel. The Swiss Indoors in Basel featured a wild draw, with the top seeds exiting early and opening the door for an underdog champion. The player that rose to the occasion was Joao Fonseca, the rising Brazilian star who seems poised to take his position at the next level of the game. In Vienna, the tournament proceeded much more according to plan, as the top 4 seeds all made the semis and the

This week Erik and Aidan discuss a busy week of Tennis following the Asian Swing. With three ATP 250s, talent was spread out, giving some struggling players chances to succeed. Meanwhile, Top ATP players convened for the second Six Kings Slam. However, as an exhibition, the tournament garnered less interest from hard core tennis fans. Meanwhile, those still hoping to make a run to Turin at the end of the season each found success. Felix Auger Aliassime, Daniil Medvedev, and Casper Ruud each

This week Erik and Aidan discuss one of the wildest tournaments in the history of tennis. With the absence of Carlos Alcaraz, and Jannik Sinner dropping early with a cramping issue, the tournament seemed wide open. Djokovic eventually fell apart late in the tournament, which opened the door for one of the craziest Masters tournament finals in history. Valentin Vacherot and Arthur Rinderknech, cousins that entered the tournament as unranked players, made the runs of their lifetime, defeating top

This week Erik and Aidan discuss the opening rounds of the Shanghai Masters 1000 event that is going on this week. With Carlos Alcaraz withdrawing from the tournament before it started, Jannik Sinner seemed to have an easy walk to the title. However, struggling with the conditions, the top seed was forced to retire, leaving a wide open draw. Other top players like Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz have also fallen, perhaps creating a chance for Novak Djokovic to pull off a cinderella run at 38 years

This week Erik and Aidan discuss the two ATP 500s in the asian swing which happen in the buildup to the Masters 1000 event in Shanghai. These two events, one in Tokyo and one in Beijing, split up the top two players, meaning we would not be seeing a Sinner-Alcaraz matchup this week. However, this also meant in order to win one of these tournaments, you would likely have to beat one of these two players. That proved to be a tall order. While the tournaments did provide some excitement, with early

This week Erik and Aidan discuss the repercussions of the 2025 Slam season. Two players, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have completely separated themselves from the rest of the pack.

Most of the top players had performed and we even had a shocking underdog run. Unfortunately, as the days dragged on, more and more players began to struggle with the conditions.

With top seeds like Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Novak Djokovic absent from the tournament, it is a great opportunity for another top player or underrated newcomer to step up and take the tournament as an underdog.
