The Davis Cup incident between Belgium and Chile on Sunday has not failed to stir the tennis world.

Zizou Bergs, euphoric after his break point, collided with his opponent, Christian Garin. The Chilean refused to resume play and demanded that his opponent be disqualified.

When this was refused, he decided not to continue playing and was disqualified himself.

Nikoloz Basilashvili reacted to this event on his Instagram account, declaring: "If Djokovic had done that, he would have been disqualified for life".

Garin a bien réagit,,,

It was an unfortunate accident. It didn't appear intentional in the least. Nor any kind of gross negligence.

And a bit grandiose saying Djokovic would have been banned for life.

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.
