The Sabalenka v Rybakina final at the Australian Open brought talk of a new big 3 in women's tennis and even though Iga reasserted herself as the French Open Queen, the Wimbledon title was claimed by Vondrousova and Coco Gauff went on a remarkable run of wins which culminated in her winning the US Open and suddenly it seemed we had a big four in women's tennis.
Aryna Sabalenka took Iga's no 1 spot and with defeats to Gauff, her nemesis Ostapenko and most recently to Kudermetova, there were murmurings in the tennis world that perhaps Iga had lost her mojo.
Not a bit of it!
Iga was right back on it in China dropping just one set all week as she cruised to the Beijing title, The semi final win over Gauff (who had been on a long unbeaten run) and the final match against Samsonova must have been particularly satisfying and no doubt Iga will be looking to claim that no 1 spot back in the very near future!
It was another strange old week in FTL with only one WTA tournament for us to concentrate on but there were valuable points to be had for those who picked the right team.
And Nikhil Idnani definitely did pick the right team and won the game week in even more convincing fashion that Iga winning Beijing.
Here is the final table:
His Captain Iga Swiatek won the title gaining Nikhil a mighty 181.20 points in the process.
His TP Samsonova was runner up and his KPs Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina were the losing semi finalists.
In addition his third KP Sabalenka and TP Garcia were both quarter finalists.
That all adds up to a pretty good game week and who cares if dark horse Krejcikova flopped in the 1st Round!
Congrats to Nikhil on a terrific week!
