FTL Cup Final (to be played in Game Week 31)

 S

The FTL Cup final is set after the completion of two enthralling semi finals this game week. 

Semi final 1

What a battle.

Swift Team makes the final at the expense of Vlad the Macedonian but both Melissa and Vlad had a fantastic week finishing well up the Leaderboard.

That was largely thanks to both of them picking Maja Chwalinska as their dark horse. Maja has just taken the WTA1000 title in Wuhan.

In a contest where Vlad was off to the worst start losing Rublev and Djokovic early on, he worked his way back into it and looked favourite to win it when it when he had Iga left and Melissa had Jodar. But the semi finals flipped the script and Iga went down to Chwalinska and Jodar defeated Medvedev.

Jodar couldn't quite get the title in Shanghai but he'd done enough to win the tie for Melissa.

Congrats Melissa.

Semi final 2

The 2nd semi final was fought out a little further down the table but for a while it was also a contest which was very much in the balance.

The loss of Jovic and ER Fritz put paid to the remaining hope for Kalinin-out-Burger (Jeremy Parrish)

It was in fact the ER of Tomasz K who made all the difference. Daniil Medvedev came into the equation after the withdrawals of Gauff and Andreeva and while he only made the semi final, that was enough to secure the tie.

Congrats to Yet Again and Tomasz on reaching the final!
