The ATP and WTA Finals are fast approaching, with the fields yet to be finalized for both events. The ATP Finals return to Turin next month, with only Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz confirmed so far. Sinner, the 2024 ATP Finals winner, defeated Taylor Fritz in the final after losing to Novak Djokovic in the 2023 final. In contrast, six women have already qualified for the WTA Finals this year, set to take place in Riyadh next month. Defending champion Coco Gauff is in the WTA field, joined by Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Amanda Anisimova, Madison Keys, and Jessica Pegula. Roger Federer's former coach, Paul Annacone, was asked to choose the more exciting field between the ATP and WTA Finals. He replied, 'They are both electric, but the WTA Finals have four Americans qualifying, which is significant. Amanda Anisimova's debut after a breakout season is truly exciting.' Chanda Rubin, a former Grand Slam doubles champion, agreed, highlighting the WTA's four different major singles winners this season: Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, and Madison Keys. She also praised Amanda Anisimova's resurgence and Jessica Pegula's clutch performances. Rubin added, 'The WTA Finals field is a recipe for a fascinating finish, with top singles players and a doubles event that sets the WTA apart. I'm eager to see how it unfolds.' The ATP Race to Turin is also expected to be thrilling, with every player desperate to participate for the title and pride. However, those who miss out may appreciate a well-deserved rest after a busy season.
