Fresh off his victory at the Barcelona tournament, Holger Rune had left his fans optimistic for the rest of the clay-court season.

After returning to excellent form in Catalonia, the Dane couldn’t carry that momentum into Madrid. He faced Flavio Cobolli tonight in his opening match. Struggling with a right leg injury, he was forced to retire after losing the first set 6-2.

This marks Rune’s third retirement of the year, following Acapulco and Monte-Carlo. Cobolli, now through to the third round, will face Brandon Nakashima.

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.
