Nikolay Davydenko's comments are unlikely to go unnoticed. In comments relayed by our Russian colleagues at Match TV, the former Russian tennis star explained why, in his opinion, women should not be paid as much as men.

Davydenko said: "In tournaments in the 250, 500 and 1000 categories, it's possible. But when it comes to Grand Slam tournaments... We don't play five-set matches. Serena Williams has won Grand Slam tournaments by losing just 10 games in the tournament. She won 6-0, 6-1 or 6-2 without even breaking a sweat or feeling stressed.

Male tennis players work three times harder than female players, especially in Grand Slam tournaments. So it's unfair to pay them the same."

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.
