It’s hard to know where to start with the WTA Finals in Cancun, where the poor conditions and seemingly shoddy preparation overshadowed much of the actual play. The WTA is suffering a reputational crisis and a player rebellion, with players complaining publicly and demanding better conditions, scheduling, income, and leave policies. Amidst all this noise, Iga Swiatek stomps through the field and regains the #1 ranking. Elsewhere, Alexander Zverev was issued a penalty order in the domestic abuse case brought by his ex-partner Brenda Patea. Of special interest to us is the ATP’s continued mishandling of the Zverev problem and abuse allegations in general. In et ceteras, Patrick Mouratoglou “feels” responsible for Simona’s ban but stops short of saying he is responsible.

08:10 Iga Swiatek’s deeply impressive run in Cancun + the hellish conditions, natural and otherwise
17:10 The backdrop of the player frustrations: a letter of player demands and the WTA’s late response
28:20 The PTPA’s media blitz
30:00 Wrapping the WTA Finals chat with doubles
33:05 Zverev issued a penalty order for bodily harm against former partner and mother of his child
39:40 The ATP’s inaction: a timeline
