Arthur Fils seemed to have got his season back on track by winning the ATP 500 Hamburg, the biggest title of his career, on July 21. But things haven't quite gone according to plan since then. The 20-year-old Frenchman, ranked 24th in the world, was beaten in the first round of the Paris Olympics by Matteo Arnaldi (6-4, 7-6) and then in the first round of the Montreal Masters 1000 by Ugo Humbert (6-2, 6-2).

He made it through the first round in Cincinnati on Tuesday, defeating the modest American Brandon Holt, a qualifier ranked 227th in the world. But he stumbled in the second round on Thursday, losing to Brandon Nakashima in just under two hours and two sets (7-5, 7-6).

As the Frenchman himself said a few weeks ago, he'll now have to show himself capable of playing his best tennis with greater consistency if he's to reach a new milestone in his rise to the top.

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.
