Jim Courier spoke to Eurosport about the Australian Open final between Madison Keys and Aryna Sabalenka.

He confessed to supporting Keys. He explained, "Keys' story, everything she had to overcome to win her first Grand Slam, was too touching not to support her."

We screamed at the last two shots of her serve, the winning forehands were simply insane. We lived and died with her, which, of course, is not impartial, it's not journalism.

But we're retired tennis players, not journalists, right?

It was great to watch the end of the match. Madison Keys won this match in the most spectacular and striking way."

Keys Madison

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.
