Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner both looked physically unwell during their clash in the French Open semi-finals. The Spaniard, who won in 4 hours and 5 sets (2-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3), confirmed this in his post-match interview.

Carlos Alcaraz: "Yes, I cramped up, and so did Jannik, in the 3rd set. But I've learnt from last year's match against Djokovic (also in the semi-finals, he was plagued by cramps and couldn't defend his chances to the full) where I felt the same as today.

At that moment, you have to stay calm and tell yourself that it's going to go away. And stay present to keep fighting. But, yes, it was a bit of a weird moment. Then, in the 4th and 5th sets, it was a really good level."

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.
