At over 40 years old, Wawrinka continues to battle, juggling between the main and secondary circuits, showcasing his unconditional love for the sport. Facing Guillen Meza in the first round of the Umag tournament, the Swiss player delivered a strong performance to secure his spot in the next round.

With 17 winners and a 100% break point conversion rate (6/6), the three-time Grand Slam champion showed no hesitation in winning his match in just over an hour of play (1 hour 13 minutes) against the world No. 244. A symbolic victory, coming 19 years after his first career title, also won in Croatia (2006).

Having fallen out of the top 100 for nearly a year now, Wawrinka is currently ranked 156th in the ATP rankings. He faces a tough challenge next, as he will take on Dzumhur (61st) for a spot in the quarterfinals.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
