This is no ordinary way to end a career, to say the least. Camila Giorgi, former world number 26, has just retired. Without making any official announcement, as the information comes from the Italian federation, the former winner of the WTA 1000 in Montreal (2021) has put away her rackets.

At the end of a fine career in which she left her mark on the memory with an unreal Canadian week. At the Montreal 2021 tournament, Giorgi recorded victories over Elise Mertens (6-3, 7-5), Petra Kvitova (6-4, 6-4), Coco Gauff (6-4, 7-6), Jessica Pegula (6-3, 3-6, 6-1) and Karolina Pliskova in the final (6-3, 7-5). In addition to her unthinkable Montreal title, she will have reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon (2018) and the Olympic Games (2021). At 32, the Italian played her last career match on March 23 against Iga Swiatek (2nd round defeat in Miami, 6-1, 6-1).

She was fun to watch when playing her A+ game, which unfortunately wasn't nearly often enough.
Oh well US$4.8 million plus in prize money and net worth of US$5.5 million plus. At 32 isn't doing too bad.

Rybakina withdraws - she won't be defending her title in Rome!

For Sabalenka, tennis "could act as a treatment".

Insolite - Collins equals a crazy record and gets ironic

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.
