This was pretty long, too (more than an hour and three-quarters), but the bottom line is, Rafael Nadal isn't giving Novak Djokovic any help at all in the contest for the year-end #1.
Roger Federer will take a 9-0 record against Andreas Seppi into his opening match after the Italian booked his spot against the four-time champion with a 6-4, 6-2 defeat of Lleyton Hewitt.
The WTA announced that Czech Republic's Petra Kvitova, Italy's Sara Errani and Serbia's Jelena Jankovic have qualified for this year’s TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships.
The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) announced today that Czech Republic's Petra Kvitova, Italy's Sara Errani and Serbia's Jelena Jankovic have qualified for this year’s TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships, to be staged at the Sinan Erdem Dome in Istanbul, Turkey, from October 22-27, 2013.
Early in the second set, Serena Williams seemed to suffer some sort of pain. It let Jelena Jankovic go up 2-1 in the set. But Jankovic then had the trainer out -- and didn't win another game. Not exactly a fun final to watch.
Yawn. Agnieszka Radwanska may be #4, but she really isn't a threat to the top three. Certainly not to Serena Williams, who is going to be #1 for the rest of the year and quite a lot longer....
It looks as if Novak Djokovic wants to keep the #1 ranking -- he's saving his energy for the big matches. But he still trails Rafael Nadal in safe points. He leaves Sam Querrey at #31.

The most basic rule in sporting fitness is never ignore the debilitating power of a viral infection. Yet...
While Serena received the good news that without hitting a ball she had done enough to secure the year ending WTA world no.1 ranking for the third time in her career, Venus had to accept the double disappointment of third set tiebreak defeat Petra Kvitova in Toray Pan Pacific semi-final in Tokyo and being told the 129.9 mph serve she hit 24 hours earlier was not being accepted.
Victoria Azarenka is one of the most notorious grunters on tour, but she doesn't think that she’s unusual and says that there isn’t any real difference between the men’s and women’s games when it comes to players emitting loud noises.
The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) announced today that World No.5 Li Na has qualified for this year’s TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships, to be staged at the Sinan Erdem Dome in Istanbul, Turkey, from October 22-27, 2013.
Venus Williams is not content with proving she is far from edging sedately towards retirement by reaching the semi-finals of the Toray Pan Pacific Open.
Novak Djokovic and Li Na will compete in a friendly "battle of the sexes" in the run-up to next week's the China Open for bragging rights during the autumn Asian tennis season on the ATP and WTA Tours.
If there’s one thing people know about me, it is my complete and utter joy for the game of tennis. When a match is on, you don’t bother me.
