Chanda Rubin joins the show to preview the WTA Finals, as the Top 8 players in the world head to Indian Wells to compete for the final trophy of 2026. Rubin breaks down the two groups, and reflects on the seasons of each of the competitors, with World No. 1 and defending Finals champ Elena Rybakina leading the charge. The broadcaster explains how Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula can find success in the windy California desert, and examines what state Aryna Sabalenka will be in as she looks to reassert herself at the top of the sport.
Rubin shares her thoughts on the other players in the field, from young major champions Mirra Andreeva and Linda Noskova, to exciting veterans Karolina Muchova and Elina Svitolina. The commentator also looks at all of the drama in the Paris Masters, where the final spots for the ATP Finals hang in the balance. And Rubin discusses her new project as the author of a children's book: "Alora's Pajama Party and Her Secret Sleepover Squad." Hosted by Mitch Michals. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
