Steve SmithHOST
I mean, obviously winning takes care of a lot of things.
Steve SmithHOST
But yeah, I mean, the, that, that whole thing is, uh, a puzzle to me where she, she never made a public statement on where she-- uh, he, he was so, so critical or the, the WTA, you know, banned him.
Steve SmithHOST
And, you know, every- everybody jumped on the bandwagon like the WTA was right.
Dave AndersonHOST
Oh, yeah.
Steve SmithHOST
And, you know, it's like in other sports, I mean, it's...
ChristianGUEST
... of a ability to switch it up, so that would've been fun, but I definitely would like a Rybakina, Nosková match.
ChristianGUEST
Hopefully we get that at the WTA finals.
ChristianGUEST
Um-

Of course, I know the Grand Slam calendar has come to an end, but there's still lots of big tournaments coming ahead, some last 1,000 still, and of course the ATP and WTA finals as well that are not too far off, so looking forward to those.
ChristianGUEST

I'm your host, Paul Muenchkolm, bringing you the honey deuce, honey dudes, honey news, and honey feuds of the ATP and WTA tours.
Paul MunkholmHOST
The US Open wrapped up one of the more chaotic tournaments in years, and definitely the wildest one this year.
Paul MunkholmHOST
There were so many storylines, so many things trying to get attention, and a lot of them were just distractions.

Reid RohlingGUEST
Um-
Paul MunkholmHOST
$10.
Paul MunkholmHOST
But it was, it was astounding, 'cause there's also been a lot of talk about, like, the WTA running out of money next year.
Paul MunkholmHOST
Did you hear about that?
speaker_0NARRATOR
The Philippine Sports Commission, PSC, will give its full support to Alexandra Alex Ala's gold medal bid in the Asian Games tennis play slated from September 27 to October 3 in Nagoya, Japan.
speaker_0NARRATOR
PSC Chairman Patrick Pato Gregorio said this in a statement on Tuesday following Senator Erwin Tulfo's call for the government to support ALA, who faces a potential women's tennis association, WTA, $10,000, P626,000, fine for skipping the mandatory 1,000 China Open for the Asian.
speaker_0NARRATOR
World No. 18 ALA and fellow top players are contractually obliged to compete in grand slams and 1,000-tier tournaments like the China Open.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The PSC is in close coordination and communication with Philippine Olympic Committee, POC, President Bambel Tolentino and FILTA Secretary-General Mayor John Ray Tianco.
speaker_0NARRATOR
They have informed me that the official request has already been submitted to the WTA, said Gregorio.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Rest assured of the PSC's all-out support.
speaker_0NARRATOR
We will continue to assist Alex, FILTA, Philippine Tennis Association, and the PAC in every way we can.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Gregorio was referring to the Philippine Tennis Association's request to the WTA to give Ala an exemption for skipping the China Open and spare her of the penalties.
Michael AngHOST
Senator Bongo has praised Filipino tennis star Alex Ayala for choosing to represent the Philippines in the 2026 Asian Games.
Michael AngHOST
Ayala made the decision despite possible sanctions from the Women's Tennis Association, or WTA.
Michael AngHOST
Goh is chairman of the Senate Committee on Sports.
Michael AngHOST
He said Ayala's decision to compete in Japan instead of the mandatory WTA 1000 China Open reflected patriotism and commitment to the country.
Michael AngHOST
The Philippine Tennis Association has been coordinating with the WTA Association to allow IALA to compete in the Asian Games without penalty.
Michael AngHOST
Under the WTA's 2026 rules, players aged 18 and above who qualify for mandatory WTA 1000 tournaments are required to participate.
Michael AngHOST
Failure to do so may result in a zero-point ranking.

Jeremy SandmanHOST
Where do things stand at the top of the tennis world? Not only is this the perfect way to help us reflect, but of course, as we get ready for the most significant part of the final two-month stretch, the race to the tour finals, who are the players that I anticipate will factor most definitively in that race? That's what I wanna discuss on today's podcast.
Jeremy SandmanHOST
This edition of the show, again, going to be me offering my WTA top 10 rankings.
Jeremy SandmanHOST
The next edition of the show later this evening going to be me offering my men's top 10 rankings.
Jeremy SandmanHOST
I'm anticipating move...
Jeremy SandmanHOST
By the way, I think for the first time in this segment, someone, in its history, someone not named Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek ascending to the number one spot.
Jeremy SandmanHOST
So spoiler alert, let's get right to it.
Jeremy SandmanHOST
My WTA top 10 rankings coming out of the US Open, it starts at the top.
Jeremy SandmanHOST
There's just no denying, and I made this case in recapping the championship match, but Elena Rybakina has cemented her status.
Charlotte WilderHOST
Um, and Rybakina fired him before the US Open, um, in 2024.
Charlotte WilderHOST
And then her team told WTA officials that they were scared for, um, Elena because after she fired him, Vukov was, like, walking through the lobby of her hotel and was sending her so many messages and calls to get him to take her back.
Charlotte WilderHOST
A- and, and, and being just, like, pretty, um, obsessive, that her team was worried about her safety.
Charlotte WilderHOST
And there was a, a three-page letter that summarized the investigation that the WTA did, um, where it reported that Vukov had called Rybakina stupid and the R-word, um, that he had told her she would s- quote, "Still be picking potatoes in Russia without him."
Madeline HillHOST
Oh my God.
Charlotte WilderHOST
Um, and they concluded that he had quote, "Cultivated a relationship of dependence," um, in which she believed she couldn't be successful without him.
Ambika PandeyGUEST
Grade 5, grade 4, grade 3, grade 2, grade 1, and then your Grand Slam.
Ambika PandeyGUEST
So it's like how the ATP or WTA tour is today.
Ambika PandeyGUEST
Like your $15,000 is like maybe lower ranked and it goes up to $250k, $500k, and then your Grand Slams and things like that.
Ambika PandeyGUEST
So similarly in this as well.
