This is episode 181 of ⁠⁠⁠Beyond Top 10 Tennis⁠⁠⁠ as we come LIVE to you from ⁠⁠⁠AM8 International⁠⁠⁠ with the latest Rankings & Results on the WTA and ATP tours with [NEW] insights shared. From ⁠⁠⁠Top 10⁠⁠⁠ Rankings to the Results of the past 3 Week’s, Dr Berge reviews all ⁠⁠⁠key⁠⁠⁠ matches and ⁠⁠⁠key⁠⁠⁠ players from the last 3 Week’s on the WTA tour: China Open (China), Wuhan Open (China), Ningbo Open (China) & Japan Open (Japan); followed by this week’s tournament on the WTA tour (still in-action): Guangzhou Open (China) & Pan Pacific Open (Japan); PLUS the last 3 Week’s on the ATP tour: China Open (China), Shanghai Masters (China), Almaty Open (Kazakhstan), European Open (Belgium) & Nordic Open (Sweden); followed by this week’s tournament on the ATP tour (still in-action): Vienna Open (Austria) & Swiss Indoors (Switzerland).


This week’s episode covers the last 3 Week hiatus, shares ‘why’ and what has been going on behind the scenes! Dr Berge also shares ‘why’ some Top 10 players have come to a halt — no longer at their peak, and why others have the ‘fire power’ to keep going. The WTA Tour highlights the depth of player progressions v the ATP Tour that’s slightly behind, but how your WORK BOOK⁠ + ⁠BLACK BOOK⁠ shared this would be the case & how you can learn to avoid this pitfall. Dr Berge also discusses the WTA Finals & ATP Finals, how the 8%⁠ and the ⁠8⁠ ⁠Keys⁠ shape a player’s trajectory, and again — how you can learn to take these steps to edge closer towards a Top 10 ranking.
