Thanks to his title on clay in Hamburg (ATP 500) on Sunday, Arthur Fils made his debut in the Top 20 of the ATP rankings on Monday.

He is now the youngest player in the Top 20, ahead of Carlos Alcaraz (21 years 79 days, world no. 3), Holger Rune (21 years 85 days, world no. 16) and Ben Shelton (21 years 286 days, world no. 14).

Even if he's still a long way from Alcaraz's level of tennis, the big maneuvers really seem to be getting underway for the Frenchman, who will probably be competing very seriously with Rune and Shelton in the weeks and months to come.

We must remain cautious, as he says himself, but with so few points to defend, the Top 10 could be within reach by the end of the season if he continues to play at this level.

To be continued.

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.
