For four years, Iga Świątek has not known the words "false start."

In every tournament, whether it's a WTA 500, a Grand Slam, the United Cup, or even the prestigious WTA Finals, the Polish player always clears the first hurdle with great regularity.

Her last opening-round loss? You have to go back to November 11, 2021, against Maria Sakkari (6-2, 6-4) at the WTA Finals in Guadalajara. Since then, 69 events, 69 victories in her opening match. An impressive statistic.

In the recent history of women's tennis, few players can boast such consistency, but Świątek seems immune to the nerves of a first match.

Quelle surprise!

Exhausted but omnipresent stars, ever-longer tournaments and exhibitions that have become a business in their own right: tennis is revealing its deepest contradictions, torn between spectacle and physical survival.

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.
