Clara Tauson pulled off one of the day's biggest upsets on Sunday in Montreal by defeating world No. 3 Iga Swiatek.

Three weeks earlier at Wimbledon, the Dane had been thoroughly outplayed in the Round of 16 (6-4, 6-1) by the eventual tournament champion. This time, Tauson managed to find the key in rallies to push Swiatek to her limits and secure a prestigious victory.

In the press conference, the 22-year-old player reflected on the win, which she described as "unreal":

"I’ve played Iga three times before. I was close in two of those three matches. After winning the first set, I knew I had to keep going because she never gives up. She brings out her best no matter what.

It feels good to beat her after the loss at Wimbledon a few weeks ago. I wasn’t feeling well during that match, but I felt like I was playing good tennis at Wimbledon. So I told myself if I kept playing the same way... I thought I had a chance.

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.
