And before we leave the Asian swing, we preview the Shanghai Masters and make our champion picks.   ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS   0:00:00 Intro 00:00:59 Novak Djokovic Rewrites History in Beijing 00:15:00 Carlos Alcaraz Dominates in Tokyo 00:23:48 Thoughts on Sinner’s Season Ending Injury? 00:33:42 Zverev To Become The New World No.1! 00:41:42 Biggest Winners of the week! 00:45:19 Spicy No Spicy? 00:50:46 Overreaction or Not? 00:58:59 Shanghai Masters Preview 01:03:20 Who Ya Got in Shanghai?   🐐 NOVAK DJOKOVIC REWRITES HISTORY IN BEIJING   Novak Djokovic does it again.   34-0 in Beijing.   The best record he has produced at any tournament.   The oldest ATP 500 champion in history.   And career title No. 102.   Djokovic had to go through three completely different challenges on his way to the title:   Alexander Zverev from a set down. Daniil Medvedev in straight sets. Alex de Minaur in a tiebreak battle.   At this stage of his career, how is Novak STILL doing this?   And after everything we have seen in 2026, could another huge title still be coming before the season ends?   👑 CARLOS ALCARAZ DOMINATES TOKYO   Carlos Alcaraz continues his ridiculous run.   10-0 in Tokyo.   Back-to-back Tokyo titles.   Four consecutive ATP 500 tournaments won.   And career title No. 27.   Alcaraz is now third among Spanish men for career titles, behind only the legends ahead of him.   After the injury problems that interrupted his season, Carlos has come back firing.   So how high is his level right now?   And could Alcaraz actually finish 2026 without losing another match?   🚨 JANNIK SINNER’S SEASON IS OVER   Jannik Sinner’s injury problems continue.   Sinner has been advised to rest and continue therapy for his tendon issues rather than undergo surgery, bringing his 2026 season to an early end.   What does this mean long term?   Is avoiding surgery the right decision?   And after such a complicated year physically, what version of Sinner should we expect when he returns?   🥇 ZVEREV BECOMES WORLD NO. 1   Alexander Zverev reaches World No. 1 and becomes the 30th man in ATP history to hold the top ranking.   It is another enormous milestone in what has already been a career-changing season.   But there is an interesting wrinkle:   Zverev has only two Top 10 wins all year.   Does that matter?   Or does becoming World No. 1 simply prove that consistency across an entire season matters more than individual marquee wins?   📈 BIGGEST WINNERS OF THE WEEK   Outside the champions, who improved their stock the most?   Alex de Minaur?   Jiri Lehecka?   Valentin Vacherot?   We pick the players leaving the week with the biggest momentum boost.   🌶️ SPICY NO SPICY   Daniil Medvedev finds himself at the center of controversy again after his Djokovic match and a default following an incident involving a fan.   Then there is Terence Atmane, who retired from two tournaments in consecutive weeks deep in deciding sets and also threw his racket into the stands.   Spicy?   No spicy?   Or completely unacceptable?   🧨 OVERREACTION OR NOT?   Novak Djokovic will win another big title before the end of 2026.   Carlos Alcaraz will not lose another match this year.   Djokovic should never play Beijing again and protect the perfect record.   Rafael Jodar will not regain his form until 2027.   Four takes.   Four verdicts.   🇨🇳 SHANGHAI MASTERS PREVIEW   The Asian swing continues with the Shanghai Masters 2026.   We break down the draw, the biggest contenders, dangerous matchups, upset possibilities and the players carrying momentum into another Masters 1000 event.   🏆 WHO YA GOT IN SHANGHAI?   Ismaeel.   Haroon.   Yousef.   Three champion picks.   Who leaves Shanghai with the trophy?   👇 DROP YOUR TAKE   Can Djokovic win another major title this season?   Will Alcaraz lose again in 2026?   What does Sinner’s injury mean for next year?   And who are YOU taking to win Shanghai?   Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3ZIET9j Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2qEC0ZeVH014svbE7VFAJB   Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weregoingfivepod/ Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@were.going.five Follow on Twitter: https://x.com/weregoingfive Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61568066890100   Check out more from TSH Tennis here:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tsh.tennis/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tsh.tennis Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesportshub.tennis Twitter: https://x.com/TSH_Tennis   #weregoingfive #tshtennis

Four verdicts.   Zverev will finish 2026 as Year-End World No. 1.   This was Ben Shelton’s best chance to win a Grand Slam.   Elena Rybakina will complete the Career Grand Slam next year.   Aryna Sabalenka will finish the year outside the Top 4.   Overreaction… or are we actually cooking?   🔮 PREDICTIONS & DARK HORSE REVEAL   Time to pull out the receipts.   Before the US Open started, we made our champion predictions, early exit picks, Ride or Die selections and dark horse choices.   Now the tournament is finished.   Who actually predicted the champions?   Which dark horse made the deepest run?   Who completely misunderstood the draw?   Which pick died immediately?   And who gets bragging rights until the next Grand Slam?   We reveal all of our pre-tournament picks and grade how well our US Open 2026 predictions actually aged.   🎯 SUPER EARLY ATP FINALS PICKS   The Grand Slam season is over.   Now the ATP Race to Turin gets serious.   Who qualifies for the 2026 ATP Finals?   Who misses out?   Which player could make a late-season surge?   And if the ATP Finals started tomorrow…   Who would we pick to win the whole thing?   👇 JOIN THE DEBATE   Will Zverev finish 2026 as World No. 1?   Was this Shelton’s best chance at a Slam?   Can Rybakina complete the Career Grand Slam?   Does Sabalenka finish outside the Top 4?   And who wins the ATP Finals?   Drop your takes below 👇   Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3ZIET9j Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2qEC0ZeVH014svbE7VFAJB   Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weregoingfivepod/ Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@were.going.five Follow on Twitter: https://x.com/weregoingfive Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61568066890100   Check out more from TSH Tennis here:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tsh.tennis/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tsh.tennis Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesportshub.tennis Twitter: https://x.com/TSH_Tennis   #weregoingfive #tshtennis
