Tennis weekly round-up 17-year-old Linda Fruhvirtova captures her maiden title in Chennai Carlos Alcaraz-led Spain among one of the countries to seal their spot in the Davis Cup Finals September 12-18 2022

By Rohit Modified 20 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Linda Fruhvirtova and the Spanish Davis Cup team. Another week of exciting tennis has come to a close. There was plenty of action to be followed as the men were on Davis Cup duty while the women competed in Slovenia and India. 17-year-old Linda Fruhvirtova made her breakthrough as she captured her first WTA title at the Chennai Open. The teenager has been touted as the one to look out for, and she's certainly living up to her potential. Elena Rybakina and Emma Raducanu were two of the most high-profile names in action at the Slovenia Open, but neither walked away with the title. While the former came close and finished as the runner-up, the latter lost in the second round. Instead, it was Katerina Siniakova who came out on top. Carlos Alcaraz, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Jannik Sinner and Andy Murray were some of the big names who participated in the Davis Cup. Players have been complaining about the revamped format of the tournament, but that didn't stop them from giving it their all. Eight teams have now sealed their berths at the Davis Cup Finals to be held in November. Here's a recap of all the tennis action that took place this past week:
