Elena Rybakina has beaten Aryna Sabalenka in both the US Open and the Australian Open in tough three sets, leaving Sabalenka without a major title for the first time since 2022. She's certainly the best player in the world right now, at least she has the highset peak level an has been able to find it when it mattered most.But while Rybakina is a good 1000 points ahead of Sabalenka in the WTA Race, a lot still needs to happen before we call it a season. Two WTA 1000 events are happening in China, a number of 500 events still need to take place, and, of course, the WTA Finals, which can award a maximum of 1500 points to the winner if undefeated.And Sabalenka herself, who will be looking to end the year on a high note after a disappointing season for her standards, should be looking in the rear mirror: the Top 5 is very strong and not far behind, as Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva are growing in their games and belief that they deserve to be at the top of the game.As for Iga Swiatek, it doesn't look very good right now, so maybe her sight should be set on just the next tournament ahead, and to having a better 2027 - 2026 was pretty much a year to forget despite a strong showing in the North American swing post Wimbledon.

Two Retirements. Two Incredible Careers.This week on Control the Controllables, we're marking the retirement of Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury, two of the finest doubles players of their generation and two of the most generous guests we´ve had on the show.Between them: 6 major titles each. 4 men's doubles crowns together, including the Australian Open in 2020 and that remarkable US Open three-peat in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Joe became only the second British man ever to reach World Number 1, holding the position for 23 weeks. Rajeev picked up two Olympic silver medals, 32 ATP titles, 9 Masters titles.Then this year, with barely any matches between them, they made the US Open semi-finals from nowhere. Form is temporary.

Christer Holm, 86, spelade Davis Cup för Sverige, uppfostrade två söner till ATP-proffs – och har sedan dess samlat på sig fler SM-guld än de flesta hinner drömma om.Christer Holm tog sig till tredje rundan i Australian Open och kvalade in till Wimbledon, ett gott tag innan Björn Borg lade grunden till guldåren.När karriären var över tog föräldrarollen vid. Tillsammans med frun Gun, själv tennistränare, såg Christer båda sönerna Henrik och Nils nå långt med sin tennis. Henrik nådde som högst 17 i världen i singel och driver i dag Båstad Sportcenter, medan Nils blev dubbelspecialist. Bröderna spelade till och med dubbel tillsammans vid några tillfällen.Men det är i veteranklasserna som Christer satt de mest häpnadsväckande siffrorna: hela 112 SM-guld!I måndags fyllde han 86 år.I det här avsnittet pratar vi med Christer om resan från Davis Cup-lag till tennisförälder åt två internationella spelare, och om vad som får en 86-åring att fortfarande vilja stå på banan och tävla om guld.Tack till vår huvudpartner! * Zenniz – The Smart Tennis Solution: http://www.zenniz.comSamt andra partners:* Centaur Sports Foundation * Wilson Tennis Camp* Aim-X Pure Sports* Ölstugan Tullen* BabolatStort tack också till alla föreningspartners, regionpartners och prenumeranter på Baslinjen.com!Intromusik: Mr Smith, Cool Running (Free Music Archive) (CC BY) Outromusik: Mr Smith, The New West (Free Music Archive) (CC BY)
