Arthur Fils won his first match in Rome by defeating Griekspoor in straight sets (6-2, 6-2). Having qualified for the third round, he will face Tsitsipas for the second time this year. The Greek had retired in the quarterfinals in Barcelona.

After his victory, the Frenchman spoke to Tennis Channel. Ranked 14th in the ATP rankings, the Bondoufle native is ambitious and expressed his goal of reaching the top 10:

"When I started the season, my goal was to reach the top 15, and I’m already there. Now, I will try to reach the top 10. I will work as hard as possible to get there."

Recently, the 20-year-old player suffered a first-round upset in Madrid against Comesana (7-6, 6-4). Until then, he had reached three consecutive quarterfinals (Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo) and a semifinal (Barcelona).

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.
