It's November, and you know what that means: The ATP Finals for Mens! The Nitto ATPs are finally closing in, after a circuit of intense competition. The draws have just been completed at The Chris Evan's Breakfast Show.

*Why Nitto? It's this year's main sponsor and will be until 2020.

The historic tournament is going to be held at the O2 Stadium in London from the 12th of November to the 19th, so remember your tickets! The finals are unlike other tournaments in the men's circuit. It starts with 8 players being divided into two teams. Instead of a straight elimination match, they play three round-robin matches (a.k.a. all-play-all). The two best players from each team will them battle it out in the semifinals, which would then progress with just two in the finals.

As the players prepare for the biggest tournament of the year, they remember what's at stake: a title, U$8,000,000, and a stockpile of ranking points that can push them in the rankings in the coming season.

Alexander Zverev, the wunderkind of tennis, has understandably withdrawn from the NextGen ATP Finals in Milan, to allow him more time to prepare himself for the intense competition.

"I have consulted with my team and, in order to best prepare for London, we have made the decision that it is best not to play the week before in Milan," the 20-year-old German said. "Therefore, sadly, I will be withdrawing from the NextGen ATP Finals. However, I still plan on making an appearance at the beginning of the event to support the tournament and show my appreciation for my fans in Italy that were so supportive during my win in Rome earlier this year."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
