 So with the final WTA 1000 event completed for the year, we have the finals for the WTA set now. And they are set in stone. We've got the top 8 players. We've also got some rankings still to talk about next week as Shanghai's happening for the men, but let's go have a look at who won last week. There's only one tournament that was completed yesterday, and that was Egas Fiontek winning the China Open against Samson over 6-2-6-2, winning her first 1000 trophy of the year, which is crazy because last year she won 4. And after this event, it's official the WTA finals have been set. Let's go have a look at the players that have gone up in the rankings over the last week. Starting with Oster Penko, she goes up 4 spots number 13 in the world after having a good tournament in China. Samson over. After making her second 1000 trophy final, she goes up 6 spots number 16 in the world. And Kostuk also going up 5 spots to 39 in the world after having a good week last week. And with Oster Penko and Samson over, they've actually qualified for the Elite Trophy, which is what the WTA finals, it's kind of like the second finals, where players between 9 and 20 in the world actually get to play a finals event themselves. So those two have actually qualified for that event. Having with the players that have gone down in the rankings, Prejikova, she's gone down 6 spots number 18 after losing the points from Strava last year. Unfortunately, we don't have that tournament this year, so she didn't have a chance to regain those points. Mertens also dropping down 12 spots number 41 in the world, and Parks dropped down 10 spots number 53 in the world after dropping points from this time last year. So let's start with the WTA rankings because things are starting to look really interesting, heading into the final weeks of the year. Sabalenka, she's still at number 1 just ahead of Sviantec at number 2. Goff still at number 3, with Pagula not too far behind at number 4. And Rabakano at number 5, Sakri comes in at number 6, with Jabur at number 7. Ondrusaver at 8, Mukhaver at 9, and Garcia rounds out the top 10 for this week. So no changes to the rankings, but remember, in about a week or so, all the points from last year's WTA finals will drop off, meaning Garcia, who is the WTA finals champion last year, will probably drop pretty far down the rankings, and we will get a couple of shuffles in the middle there as well, so keep an eye out for that in the next few weeks. Over to the race of the finals now, and like I said, we have a complete list. Sabalenka still at number 1, which Sviantec at 2, Goff at 3, Rabakano at 4, Pagula still at number 5, of course qualifying last week. Ondrusaver at number 6, with Mukhaver at number 7, and Ondrusaver at number 8, and those 3 have officially qualified for the WTA finals, so that means those are the top 8 players that are going to play the WTA finals now. Zachary stays at 9, and Keyes at number 10, and just like OstaPenko and Samsonova, those 2 players will be playing the Elite Trophy, but also, there'll be alternates for the WTA finals, so Zachary, if somebody pulls out of the top 8, will play in their spot, and we know Mukhaver has been struggling with injuries the last couple of tournaments, also pulled out this week from an event, so if Mukhaver was to pull out of the WTA finals, Zachary would replace her in that spot, and then Keyes would be the next replacement after that, so there is still a chance that some players can qualify, depending on what happens with injuries, especially with Mukhaver, who has been the most injured lately. Over the men's rankings now, and we have no changes because we are smack bang in the middle of Shanghai, with Djokovic at number 1, Elkres at number 2, Mehbedev at 3, Sinner at 4, Runo at 5, not too far behind there is Sidney Pass at 6, Rubelev at 7, Fritz at 8, Root at 9, and Sveraver at number 10, but I can tell you at this point, there's a lot of those players that have already lost early at this tournament, including Mehbedev, Runo, and Sveraver, and of course Djokovic isn't playing in Shanghai, so there's a big possibility there that we get some changes to that top 10 this time next week. The race of the finals, and officially we still only have 3 players that have qualified with Djokovic, Elkres, Mehbedev. Now Sinner has qualified, but we'll get to that next week when it becomes more actually official in the race of the finals. Right now he is not qualified as of last week, so it's a little bit confusing, but yeah, he'll be qualified next week, we're just a week ahead. Rubelev comes in at 5 with Sidney Pass at 6, Sveraver at 7, Runo at 8, Fritz at 9, and Runo at number 10, and as I mentioned, Sveraver and Runo have both lost in Shanghai early, and Fritz and Rude at this stage are still in the tournament, so there's a chance there we could get some changes to the bottom half of that top 8 with Sinner qualifying as of next week. We only have 4 spots up for grabs to a big chance for Fritz and Rude this time next week to get themselves in that top 8 with only a few weeks left of the season. There it is, that is the race of the finals. The ladies' race of the finals is complete. Now we will keep track of it over the next few weeks because it does matter what position those players are as well, because 1 and 2 don't play, so Shfiante and Sabalenka at this stage, and probably until the end of the year will be still number 1 and 2. They will get in their own groups, and then it depends on where the other players kind of lie, and we're going to keep an eye on Mukova as well, because of course she has got injuries. She did pull out of the tournament next week in China. What do you reckon? Do you like the WTA Finals race? Do you like the fact that we've got those 8 players playing? It's the first time I think in a very long time that all the finalists of the Grand Slams this year have actually qualified, and the only player that hadn't made a Grand Slams Final this year from that 8 was Pagula, and she's been super consistent making quarter finals, so probably the strongest race to the finals and strongest top 8 we could have asked for. Sakuri coming in for Mukova is not that bad either because Sakuri's been pretty good lately too, so I think it's going to be a really epic tournament in Cancun in a couple weeks, but let me know down in the comments below. Has anything shocked you in the rankings this week?
