Destanee Aiava, currently ranked 169th in the world, made a highly original proposal on her social networks.

The Australian suggests that male and female players should be able to choose the music to which they enter the court.

She said: "It would add so much spice, especially if you have a history with your opponent.

You'd provoke him right from the start with the entrance music you've chosen."

Her compatriot, Ellen Perez, who is on the WTA board representing players outside the top 100 and doubles players, responded to her proposal, "I can suggest it if you want.

The problem is that the entries aren't long.

The entry on center court at a Grand Slam is long, but, everywhere else, it's one player after another, with an interval of ten seconds maximum."

Between total disconnection and intensive work, the offseason is a crucial period for preparing for a long season on tour.

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.

I love tennis

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.
