Draw

Conditions at this tournament clearly, and heavily are favorable for big servers. To be honest, Rafa was way better from open play, except for about 20 minutes of crucial period from about the end of first set, until toward middle of second set. Suddenly he totally lost his normal game, and looked like he was suddenly under influence of recreational drugs... and match was decided there. Felix didn't play well compared to what he was showing in last 2 months, but pure serve came to his rescue. When did you see him getting over 60% unreturned serves... against Rafa!?!? Simply, favorable conditions!

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.?
