Forced to retire in the Wimbledon round of 16 against Sinner, Dimitrov once again left a Major prematurely. A familiar occurrence for the Bulgarian, this marks his 5th retirement in the last five Majors he has played.

At 34, the 2017 ATP Finals winner holds the record for the most retirements in Grand Slams since the Open Era began (10). He ranks ahead of Serbians Tipsarevic (8) and Djokovic (7), as well as Frenchman Llodra and South African Ferreira, each with seven retirements.

Additionally, this is only the 4th time since 1968 that a player has been forced to retire in a Grand Slam while leading 2 sets to 0. The last instance was Belgian Darcis against Serra at the 2012 Australian Open (7-6, 6-3, 4-5, ret.).

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.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
