Court Manolo Santana was stunned to see Felix Auger-Aliassime win the first act of the 2024 Madrid final. Taking advantage of Andrey Rublev's catastrophic start to the match, the Canadian made the most of his initial lead (6-4 in 48 minutes).

Quickly breaking away (4-1, double-break), the 23-year-old resisted his opponent's comeback to find himself one set away from the title. Highly effective on serve and incisive on the forehand (4 aces, 14 winners, 4 unforced errors), the world no. 35 is thwarting all predictions.

Rublev, for his part, will have to do much better if he is to turn this match around.

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.
