Interviewed by France 5, Carlos Alcaraz opened up on a number of subjects, including Rafael Nadal.

The world No.2, who has qualified for the last 16 in Paris, took time out to confide in C à vous about Nadal's retirement: "Rafa's retirement is regrettable. It's sad for Spanish sport, for sport in general and for me.

I grew up watching Rafa. He's one of the main reasons I wanted to play tennis.

He motivated me to fight, to train, to compete. I owe him a lot. I don't see myself as Rafa's successor. It would be a waste of time, given all he's done for tennis.

We'll try to enjoy his last tournaments and see what happens with me in the future."

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.?
