WHY DANIIL MEDVEDEV, BUBLIK ARE PLAYING RUSSIA'S EXHIBITION
Top tennis stars like Daniil Medvedev are set to play the Gazprom-funded Northern Palmyra Trophies in St. Petersburg, a controversial exhibition backed by a key financier of Russia's war in Ukraine, drawing criticism.
Daniil Medvedev Among Players Announced
Since initiating an unlawful invasion in February 2022, Russia and Ukraine have been at war. Despite significant adversity, Ukraine has fought for its independence for more than three years, with ongoing assistance from a number of nations.
Marta Kostyuk and Elina Svitolina are two Ukrainians who have expressed their strong opinions and talked passionately about the state of their nation. According to both women, until peace is achieved, all Russian athletes should be prohibited.
Russian and Belarusian opponents do not shake hands with Ukrainian athletes. Kostyuk explained earlier this year why she granted an exemption to Daria Kasatkina, a Russian national who changed her allegiance to Australia.
Following Alcaraz's withdrawal from Davis Cup duty, the captain of Spain said, "We are devastated."
On November 29 and 30, the fourth Northern Palmyra Trophies will take place in St. Petersburg. During Russia's exclusion from the ATP and WTA Tours, this exhibition has been used to allow tournaments to be hosted there.
The Northern Palmyra Trophies are even more contentious because they are sponsored by Gazprom, a Russian state-owned international energy firm that has been instrumental in funding the nation's conflict against Ukraine.
Nevertheless, a number of well-known athletes have agreed to perform in the event. The most well-known player to be announced for the tournament is Daniil Medvedev, the 2021 US Open winner, who was born in Russia.
Medvedev declared his support for peace at the start of the conflict in Ukraine. Although the former ATP world No. 1 has not publicly criticized the Russian government, he has made it plain that he opposes the war.
Supporters of Ukraine will be especially disappointed by his engagement because of this. Either Medvedev's views have changed, or he does not see any issue with maintaining his convictions and performing in his native country, regardless of the sponsor.
Another individual on the entry list is Alexander Bublik, who had a year that was his finest in his career. Although he was born in Russia, he represents Kazakhstan and has refrained from speaking out against the conflict since it started.
The inclusion of Karen Khachanov in the show is not surprising. Politico said a few years back that he got into a fight with Andrey Rublev, who has been vocally opposed to the war in Ukraine.
A number of WTA athletes who were born in Russia have also committed to the show. They include the fiery Yulia Putintseva, budding sensation Diana Shnaider, and Veronika Kudermetova, who earlier this year disclosed Holger Rune's interest in her.
Tallon Griekspoor, a Dutchman, is also anticipated to attend the competition. He was the last guy to defeat Jannik Sinner, but he did so by retiring during the Shanghai Masters in 2025 after the Italian started experiencing severe cramps.
TENNIS STARS CARLOS ALCARAZ AND ARYNA SABALENKA CROWNED YEAR-END WORLD NUMBER ONE
Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka clinch the year-end World No. 1 rankings. Alcaraz tops the ATP after a stellar season, while Sabalenka secures the WTA's top spot ahead of Iga Swiatek to conclude the year.

Alcaraz and Sabalenka finish season as champions
Carlos Alcaraz is the year-end world number one on the ATP side! After winning all three of his group stage matches, the Spaniard secured the year-end world number one rating, surpassing Jannik Sinner in the position. Alcaraz has had a fantastic season, winning eight titles, including two Grand Slam titles, and ending the year as the top-ranked player in the world. Sinner did, however, get his retribution when he prevented Alcaraz from winning the Nitto ATP Finals for the first time in his career, extending the Italian's winning run to 31 games on indoor hard courts.
Other noteworthy ranking increases include Felix Auger-Aliassime, a Canadian who moved up three spots to the world's top five after making it to the semi-finals. However, Lorenzo Musetti moved up one spot to eighth in the global rankings after his lone victory at the Nitto ATP Finals. Novak Djokovic finished the season as the fourth-ranked player in the world thanks to a victory in Athens, while Alexander Bublik finished the year as the eleventh-ranked Kazakh. The American also moved up ten spots to number 28 in the global rankings after a final for Learner Tien in Metz.
Taylor Fritz is now ranked sixth in the world after failing to defend his final points from the Nitto ATP Finals. Ben Shelton has also fallen four spots to ninth in the global rankings after failing to win a match in Turin, even though he qualified for his first Nitto ATP Finals. Casper Ruud fell two spots to 12th in the world rankings after failing to make it to the Nitto ATP Finals.
Despite concluding his season early, Jack Draper ended the season among the top 10 in the British rankings. Cameron Norrie, who finished the year as the 27th-ranked player in the world, will be seeded for the Australian Open next year. After a somewhat optimistic season in his first full year on the main circuit, Jacob Fearnley will finish the season slightly outside the world's top 70.

WTA Rankings and the Top 10 Brits
Aryna Sabalenka is the year-end world number one on the WTA side! Iga Swiatek was unable to take advantage of Sabalenka's patchy play, which clinched the victory before the WTA Finals. With several final appearances and consistent WTA championships, the US Open winner has had a tremendous season and is deserving of her top ranking in the world.
Sabalenka fell to Elena Rybakina in the WTA Finals final, though, thus her season did not end well. Throughout the week, the Kazakh was perfect, outplaying her opponents and serving a barrage of aces. Rybakina has had an incredible late-season run, winning all five of her matches to earn $5 million in prize money and moving up to the fifth spot in the global rankings as a result.
Other notable ranking changes include Jasmine Paolini dropping two spots to eighth place and Jessica Pegula dropping one spot to sixth place. Belinda Bencic's late-season push on the WTA circuit has propelled the Swiss to number eleven in the world, while Linda Noskova's successful Asia swing has propelled her up four spots to number thirteen. Qinwen Zheng, who is currently ranked 24th in the world, has also dropped 13 spots in the standings.
With the British number one ranked 29th in the world, Emma Raducanu is expected to receive a seeding in the Australian Open. At number 71 in the world, Sonay Kartal is now the second-ranked British person, while at number 77, Francesca Jones is the third-ranked British person. This resulted from Katie Boulter's recent poor performance, which sent her crashing down the world rankings to 100.

CARLOS ALCARAZ STUNNED FANS WITH REMARK ABOUT JANNIK SINNER
Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner for the ATP Finals title is a fitting 2025 finale. Despite leading their rivalry, Alcaraz admits the indoor specialist Sinner, unbeaten in 30 indoor matches, is the favourite in Turin.

World Nos. 1 and 2 Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will square off in the title match at the ATP Finals in Turin on Sunday, marking a fitting end to the 2025 ATP season. All six of their meetings this season have taken place in the finals. Alcaraz secured the year-end No. 1 ranking by winning five of them, and he has already defeated Sinner this week.
Even though he "does not want to accept it," the Spanish great has suddenly admitted that Sinner is the favourite to win their ATP Finals. Sinner has a lot going for him because he has gone 30 games without losing on indoor hard courts. He has won his last 14 matches and has not lost a set in Turin since 2023.
Alcaraz is well aware of Sinner's statistics, even though he is less at ease on indoor hard courts. The six-time Major winner thinks Sinner has a good chance on Sunday, although he won their fight for the year-end No. 1 ranking.
Who is the favourite? After securing his place in his first ATP Finals final, Alcaraz grinned and remarked, "I mean, the No. 1 signifies that I have been playing really excellent throughout the season, on all surfaces."
On an indoor court, he is performing at his peak. We are performing for his home audience. He is the favourite, in my opinion. Even though I do not like to admit it, I think he is the favourite for tomorrow.
Although Alcaraz and Sinner have never met in person at the ATP Finals, they did play a practice match before the competition, with the world No. 2 winning handily. Alcaraz is aware that meeting in front of the Italian audience will make everything much more difficult.
"He beat me 6-3 quite easily, to be honest," the world No. 1 continued. It is a very different experience from attending a sporting event. I stated that one of the greatest or most challenging challenges in tennis at the moment is playing against Jannik on an indoor court.
"I believe he has won 30 and 31 straight indoor court matches. We are performing for his home audience. Playing against him becomes even more challenging as a result.
Alcaraz is 5-1 this season and has a 10-5 record against Sinner. The Spanish player defeated Sinner at the US Open, French Open, Italian Open, and Cincinnati Open, but his only defeat occurred in the Wimbledon final. Illness caused Sinner to retire 23 minutes into the Cincinnati final.
Last month, the world No. 2 defeated Alcaraz in the Six Kings Slam exhibition final, an unofficial contest played on indoor hard courts. Since then, Sinner has won consecutive titles in Paris and Vienna.
