Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick have both pulled out of the Masters Cup in Shanghai due to injuries, blaming their busy schedule. Nadal, the world number one, will also miss the Davis Cup final for Spain against Argentina later in the month, while Roddick says that the 11-month season is too long. While the Woman's Tennis Association (WTA) has agreed that there should be more rest time between events, the men will continue with its event plan next year. Should the men have a longer rest time and fewer events on the tour to avoid burn-outs? Or should the ATP tour be cut to 10 months? Have your say.

Three ways to get a gratitude glow
By committing to at least one of these daily, you can bring more gratitude into your life, says Ong.
- During your morning skincare routine, name five things you are thankful for about yourself.
- As you finish your skincare routine, look yourself in the eye and speak an affirmation, such as: “I am grateful for every part of me, including my ability to take care of my skin.”
- In the evening, take some deep breaths, notice how your skin feels, and listen for what your skin is grateful for.

Ziina users can donate to relief efforts in Beirut
Ziina users will be able to use the app to help relief efforts in Beirut, which has been left reeling after an August blast caused an estimated $15 billion in damage and left thousands homeless. Ziina has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise money for the Lebanese capital, co-founder Faisal Toukan says. “As of October 1, the UNHCR has the first certified badge on Ziina and is automatically part of user's top friends' list during this campaign. Users can now donate any amount to the Beirut relief with two clicks. The money raised will go towards rebuilding houses for the families that were impacted by the explosion.”
