I'm not sure we talk about how fierce of a competitor Alexandra Eala is, at all times, in all situations, every week, fatigue or no fatigue.

Talked to American Ann Li for Inside American Tennis. She's quietly put together a fantastic season that got her a nod from Lindsay Davenport for BJK Cup later this month.

Right now is a dangerous time for ATP players who are pushing for Turin. Aussie summer around the corner, but impossible to resist wanting to get to Turin for players like Cobolli, Fils, Fritz. All banged up. When do they have time to get healthy? December. That's it. Priorities.

Sun Xinran - what a fun watch, right? - is up to No.302 in the live rankings. Some nice steps made on tour this autumn by the world No.1 junior.

just saw in ATP notes that Stanimal has more wins than any other male player beyond the age of 40 (since 1990). He's got 12, Karlovic has 9 and Connors has 8. Remarkable how well he brings it at 41.

Queenwen has such a way with words: "I used to think that winning a match is like drinking water: it is normal. But now I'm more grateful for every win because I understand how much effort I have made behind every win. I've learned to enjoy the wins and the effort on court."

Coco said this about Sun Xinran in Beijing, when asked if she felt like she was playing a version of herself: "I feel like we play a little bit different. Didn't feel like myself. Felt like I'm playing a girl who is going to be a really great player for many years to come."

Went to Berkeley for the W50 event last week and it was way better than I could have ever imagined. Got to see Kayla Day play twice. She's racking up titles this year. This Q/A is for Inside American Tennis 👇
