Grégoire Barrère seems to be coming back to life on the clay courts of Bucharest. After a very difficult start to the 2024 season (only one win on the ATP Tour before this week), the 30-year-old Frenchman dominated Sebastian Korda on Friday to reach the quarter-finals.

Barrère won in 1h15 and two sets (6-4, 6-4) in a match featuring multiple breaks (10 in 20 games played). Having dropped to 128th in the world rankings, and thus bypassed the qualifiers, he has now won his 4th match on Romanian clay. He hadn't achieved such a series on any circuit since winning the Quimper Challenger in January 2023.

For a place in the semi-finals, the Frenchman will face the winner of the duel between Miomir Kecmanovic and Pedro Martinez.

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.
