No.2 seed at the Open d'Occitanie, Félix Auger-Aliassime got the better of Arthur Cazaux (6-4, 7-6) in his first match.

After a first set in which he broke early on, the second set was a little more tightly contested between the two men, who held their service games until the tie-break.

In the tie-break, Cazaux took the lead 5-2, but Auger-Aliassime went on to win the match by five points in a row.

Buoyed by an excellent serve in these indoor conditions (11 aces, 78% first serves), the Canadian will face Yunchaokete Bu, winner earlier in the day of Constant Lestienne (6-2, 6-1), in the quarter-finals.

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.
