RYBAKINA TAKING APPLAUSE 12. CROWD 13. VARIOUS OF RYBAKINA WITH TROPHY STORY: Elena Rybakina rallied from a set down to beat Russian fourth seed Ekaterina Alexandrova 3-6 6-0 6-2 and win the Ningbo Open title on Sunday (October 19), as her late surge to reach next month's WTA Finals gained momentum. A 10th career title for Rybakina means the Kazakh only has to reach the semi-finals of the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo this week to seal the last qualifying spot for the season finale at the expense of Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva. Others who have qualified for the WTA Finals, to be held in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh from November 1-8, are Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Amanda Anisimova, Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys and Jasmine Paolini. Alexandrova made a flying start, racing 4-1 ahead as Rybakina struggled to rein in the errors and mix up her game, before the 30-year-old comfortably took the first set with a powerful forehand winner. Desperate to prevent a fourth straight defeat by Alexandrova on hardcourts, Russian-born Rybakina came out firing in the next set, hitting a crosscourt winner to consolidate an early break and lay the platform to level the match. World number nine Rybakina cranked up the intensity from the baseline in the deciding set, but it was a foray to the net that earned the 26-year-old another early break, and she went on to claim her second trophy of the season.

And thank you very much for everything. And now that we are world champions, I'm really happy for that. Thank you." 17. VARIOUS OF RAZGATLIOGLU LIFTING TROPHY STORY: Toprak Razgatlioglu claimed the World Superbike title for a third time on Sunday (October 19) ahead of his much-awaited switch to MotoGP next season, despite a collision with title contender Nicolo Bulega in the final round in Jerez.     Razgatlioglu, the first Turkish Superbike world champion known for his flamboyant showmanship on the track, agreed in June to move into MotoGP with the Prima Pramac Racing team.     Although Aruba Racing's Bulega won both races and the Superpole race aboard his Ducati to make it a hat-trick of wins in Jerez, Razgatlioglu did enough to maintain his lead in the championship as the BMW rider defended his crown.     As Razgatlioglu entered the pit-lane, all teams lined up to applaud the champion before he performed tyre-smoking "donuts".      Trailing by 22 points, Bulega went into the final race needing nothing short of a victory to snatch the title while also hoping Razgatlioglu failed to score points.     Razgatlioglu started 10th on the grid but the Turkish rider methodically carved his way through the field and finished third, sealing the title with a lead of 13 points.     After eight years in the World Superbike Championship, which uses highly modified versions of production road bikes, Razgatlioglu will move to MotoGP which uses pure multi-million dollar prototypes — the pinnacle of motorcycle racing.     "Now that we are world champions, I'm really happy for that. Thank you," he said.     Ducati celebrated their 21st manufacturer's title and fourth in a row after beating BMW by 28 points. (Production: Simon Ormiston)

(SOUNDBITE) (English) NORDIC OPEN 2025 CHAMPION CASPER RUUD TALKING ABOUT WINNING IN SWEDEN, SAYING:  "Of course, I'm really happy and to win here in Stockholm is a little bit of a childhood dream because it's close to Norway and all the legends have played here in the past, you know, (Roger) Federer, (Rafael) Nadal, (Bjorn) Borg, (John) McEnroe, you name it. So it's an honour to get a title here." STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN (OCTOBER 18, 2025) (ATP MEDIA/IMG – See restrictions before use) 9. VARIOUS OF RUUD WITH TROPHY STORY: Casper Ruud is the first Norwegian to win the Nordic Open after he beat France's Ugo Humbert in straight sets in Sunday's (October 19) final. Ruud dominated the match, dropping just three points on serve and making 22 winners. He swept Humbert aside, who was looking for his seventh tour title, taking the first set 6-2. Humbert produced some flashes of brilliance in the second set but was no match in the end for Ruud who told the crowd that winning in Stockholm had been a "childhood dream". "All the legends have played here in the past, you know, Federer, Nadal, Borg, McEnroe, you name it – so it's an honour to get a title here," he said. Ruud is now a 14-time tour-level champion, and the title in Stockholm is his second of 2025. (Production: Simon Ormiston)
