Game Week 7 Final Leaderboard
Women's tennis seems to be in pretty good shape if the last week and a half of tennis is anything to go by. We had three slam champions and the eternal semi finalist (Sakkari) make the final four and it certainly appears that Iga has a real challenge on her hands in the shape of Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka. Elena dismantled an "injured" Iga in the semi final and managed to keep her composure in the final to see off a misfiring Sabalenka.
In the men's event Carlos Alcaraz showed us once again why he is the brightest talent in men's tennis by playing some quite ridiculous tennis in a week where he defeated Kokkinakis, Griekspoor, Draper, FAA, Sinner and Medevedev without dropping a set. It brought to an end a remarkable 19 match unbeaten run for Daniil but given how much he hated the Indian Wells courts, this was a very succesful week for him!
Congratulations to our game week winner Marc Sab and "The Champs". This was a high scoring week all round as the top players really came to the fore so to win this game week you needed to have a really strong team. Marc had all four finalists plus semi finalists Swiatek and Sinner as well as decent supporting roles from Quarter Finalists Norrie and Fritz (who's contribution turned out to be fairly crucial).
Marc pipped Pete Schaumann into 2nd place but major Kudos to Pete and his team selection and placement. He had Alcaraz as Captain and Medvedev, Sabalenka and Rybakina as KPs as well as semi finalists Tiafoe and Sinner. Ultimately he only missed out because his other players Garcia and Pegula didn't perform as well as well as Norrie and Fritz.
The level 2 prize goes to 1st Round Loser. He also had all 4 finalists as well as 2 semi finalists but ultimately fell short due to the early exit of Holger Rune.
Congrats to all!
Congrats on a great week, Marc!
