Isner is first for ADM in Shanghai. Bit rude.

So happy for Millman. 2nd ATP final I believe and just like that he goes from thinking he should play some challengers to his rank ikng he has had most of the year. Great for him

I only discovered today ash is also ranked #1 in doubles. She will lose that ranking next week, but still an incredible effort to be ranked #1 simultaneously in both singles and doubles. Not many players in the last 15 years have achieved that. Maybe hingis was the last player to do it?

Where did you get this from? Looking at the live rankings she is 11th?

I thought after she defended Rome that she would be a chance to get to #1 in doubles as she was ranked #5 at that stage and basically had no points to defend at the French or during the grass season. Barty and Azarenka did no good at the French or Wimbledon though and Barty ended up pulling out of the doubles in the lead up grass events.

For Isner?

Demon is like the new Hewitt and eats these servebots for breakfast.

Isner has struggled this year.

Yeah you are right! The commentators said it during her match with Bertens today, that she was #1 in doubles as well. Clearly they were wrong and I took their word for it.

Speaking of AdM and Isner........they drew each other R1 of the doubles too!

AdM & Ramos currently playing Isner & Querrey.

And it's a bad omen since Isner won.

Sanders in an upset so an unseeded player won.

Popyrin has withdrawn from events he had entered in the coming weeks after losing in Slovakia. A good decision to rest and prepare for next year. He should still get direct entry into the Australian Open depending on other results.

Ellen Perez won Houston challenger doubles.

Serena definitely did it

Seems to be a lot easier for the women. I think the last male to do it was Edberg in the late 80s.
