The dominant players this week have served well, returned well and hit more winners. Nothing surprising here, especially given the perfect indoor conditions on a fairly fast surface. Limiting the mistakes is also important. Elena Rybakina is possibly the most dominant player at present. Aryna Sabalenka would have lots to say about this but really the point will only be definitively proved one way or the other this weekend. Jessica Pegula and Amanda Anisimova will like to think they have a say but if the big guns keep serving well it is hard to see they can dominate enough points to get the 2 sets they need.
DTM recommends
E.Rybakina to beat J.Pegula
Elena Rybakina to win WTA Finals

The Serena Williams group is done. Elena Rybakina will beat Madison Keys who is really out of form at present. Amanda Anisimova looks inconsistent and slightly out of her comfort zone on these indoor courts. Iga Swiatek may well be the most likely to take the runners up spot but DTM is not really interested in either match on Wednesday. T
The Serena Williams group is done. Elena Rybakina will beat Madison Keys who is really out of form at present. Amanda Anisimova looks inconsistent and slightly out of her comfort zone on these indoor courts. Iga Swiatek may well be the most likely to take the runners up spot but DTM is not really interested in either match on Wednesday. The final day of group matches is worth an interest as both Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula look like securing a final group win.
DTM recommends
A.Sabalenka to beat C.Gauff 4/7
J.Pegula to beat J.Paolini 1/2
A double on these two results is also advised

Match Day 4
The best match of the day sees a repeat of the US Open 2024 final and or the semi final this year which arguably saw some of there best tennis played of the year. As it is a group match a 3 set outcome is likely given that this would suit both players. Aryna Sabalenka would appear to be th most likely winner but DTM suspects both of these
The best match of the day sees a repeat of the US Open 2024 final and or the semi final this year which arguably saw some of there best tennis played of the year. As it is a group match a 3 set outcome is likely given that this would suit both players. Aryna Sabalenka would appear to be th most likely winner but DTM suspects both of these players will make the semi finals by the end of the group stage. Jasmine Paolini v Coco Gauff offers no value and is very much a watching brief.
DTM recommends
J.Pegula v Aryna Sabalenka to be 3 sets

After one match each the players in with a shout of winning this week are now pretty clear. On these courts the best servers are coming to the fore. Elena Rybakina looks the most likely to win her group. Her serve should be the decisive factor against Iga Swiatek. Madison Keys looked part way through a few technical changes. Amanda Anisim

Elena Rybakina looks the most likely to win her group. Her serve should be the decisive factor against Iga Swiatek. Madison Keys looked part way through a few technical changes. Amanda Anisimova will be too strong in this match up.
DTM recommends
E.Rybakina to beat I.Swiatek
A.Anisimova to beat M.Keys
Match Day 2
Match Day 3
Match Day 2
The faster indoor conditions should really give the edge to Aryna Sabalenka on day 2. Jasmine Paolini will surely struggle to compete with the big serve and big game of the world #1.
DTM recommends
A.Sabalenka to beat J.Paolini

DTM likes Elena Rybakina to beat Amanda Anisimova on day 1 of the event. Anisimova is able to play the best tennis of anyone but her consistency is questionable especially at a new venue. Rybakina is very serious this time having gone to some lengths to make the cut for the event. DTM expects her to go very close to winning the whole even
DTM likes Elena Rybakina to beat Amanda Anisimova on day 1 of the event. Anisimova is able to play the best tennis of anyone but her consistency is questionable especially at a new venue. Rybakina is very serious this time having gone to some lengths to make the cut for the event. DTM expects her to go very close to winning the whole event so an initial win seems likely :)
DTM recommends
E.Rybakina to beat A.Anisimova

This event normally sees some unusual results with at least one if not two players heading for the beach quite soon. Don't be surprised if an alternate plays at some point. DTM believes that current form is worth following and given her blistering recent form Rybakina is worth sticking with. Her win over Sabalenka last year suggests she will cope with the conditions again:)
