Oh, I'd never buy a ticket to watch it !

Or even watch it on TV - that is, I might watch some of the glitzy stuff, as entertainment, but I wouldn't watch the tennis - to me, sport is sport - if it doesn't matter who wins then what's the point?

But, yep, there's a demand for this sort of thing, and the players get a good break from the day job, so all fine

Exhibitions are fine for what they are, but please let's stop awarding Grand Slam trophies for them.

Just seen this:

@RaducanuNews
Emma has ended her 2025 season as she has pulled out of her scheduled final event in Hong Kong due to illness that she has been battling for 10 days
Its also been confirmed that Emma will work with her coach Francisco Roig in 2026
2025 has seen continued improvement from Emma and looking forward to what happens in 2026

Get well soon Emma!

Pity but good to see that Emma is continuing with Roig.

Some really good signs at times when fit and well, if inconsistent, but rankings wise it's no doubt not gone as well as she would have hoped in Asia, now compounded by the early finish  

It's currently looking likely she will be seeded for the Aus Open ( I think her minimum aim ) but in the #25 to #32 seed bracket, meaning she will be bracketed against #1 to #8 for R3. And if her 2025 draw luck continues into 2026 that draw will not open up and if she gets through she will face a top seed then.

I recall reading that she needs to start winning more against players in the WR 11 to 20 range, to which the immediate answer was that it would help if she played them more.

For 2025: vs ...
WR 1 to WR 10 : Won 1, Lost 10
WR 11 to WR 20 : Won 2, Lost 1
WR 21 to WR 30 : Won 3, Lost 1
WR 31 to WR 40 : Won 3 Lost 3
WR 41 to WR 50 : Won 5, Lost 3

Top 50 : Won 14, Lost 18

 

Hopefully she will be good to go again pretty soon so that they can have a really productive off season.

Take out the top 10 and shes operating at a circa 2/3rds win loss rate. that actually stands up pretty well Id say; anyone achieving circa 65 percent isnt doing badly, these are all good players. For me, its working out how to play and compete with those in the top 10 who routinely beat her. She can compete. Sometimes. Eg Sabalenka matches. But she doesnt always compete and not for a whole match. Thats what I would focus. Start beating some of those.

This is really good news.  biggrin She has looked like she has needed a training block since the US Open in order to move to the next level.

I understand why she persevered, in order to get as a good a ranking as possible for AO, but because she has being playing catch-up all year on her missed time out, she needs development time. It's amazing she's got to this level without it. But she's clearly drained.

And super news that it's with Roig.

He's got half a dozen areas to work on, but I'm confident they'll achieve significant improvement in 26

A slightly different perspective from the Beeb.  Meanwhile, she's taken a leaf out oft the Andy Murray playbook for earning money that she surely doesn't need.  Saw the ad yesterday or the day before.  Never heard of Wild!

And another Beeb angle.

"We make a great living" for certain - quite small - values of "we".
