"Congratulations on an incredible week. You came from Monte-Carlo, where you had to withdraw… You arrive here in Barcelona and show outstanding tennis, much to the delight of the crowd.

I congratulate you and your team. We’ve known each other since we were twelve… Time flies. I’m happy to see us like this. To see how far we’ve come together. Congratulations and keep it up."

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.?
