I have not understood why the tennis establishment did nothing about Jannik Sinner failing drug tests, and apparently nor does the WADA, which is seeking a ban:

WADA to appeal Sinner doping verdict, seeks ban

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against an independent tribunal's decision in August to clear world number one Jannik Sinner of wrongdoing after he failed drug tests, WADA said on Saturday.

Iga Swiatek Fires Coach, Who Was WTA Coach of The Year:

No. 1 Swiatek splits with coach after 3 years

Top-ranked Iga Swiatek is separating from her coach Tomasz Wiktorowski. During the three years she worked with him, the Polish player won four of her five Grand Slam titles and rose to the top of the women's rankings.

SHANGHAI.....SINNER---DJOKO will play /FINAL...and WUHAN.. SABALENKA defeated COCO in semis/will play Chineese Qinwen....will be an easy win.

 

[EagerBeaver]

SABALENKA defeated COCO in semis

was a close match, as Coco won more games, 14-13. Coco had 21 double-faults, which of course is unacceptable. She gets this straightened out and she will start beating Sabalenka.

 

[gaby]

SINNER in 2 sets.....SABALENKA in 3 sets....BRAVO to both....soon ARYNA will b #1.

 

[gaby]

GREAT...SABALENKA is now #1.....BRAVO...and she will stay #1...lol.
