Alex De Minaur and Katie Boulter announced their engagement this week, just before the start of the United Cup where they represent Australia and Great Britain respectively.

Unfortunately, both nations are in the same group (Group F) with Argentina.

A situation that will force them to face each other, although Alex De Minaur already has an idea in mind not to play the mixed doubles:

"If you take a look at my doubles results, I'm on 0-10 over the last two years, so I don't think I'm the best option.

We have Matthew Ebden on the team who won an Olympic medal and a Grand Slam this year. So I think he'd take my place.

I'd rather play with her (Boulter) as a partner than against her, let's put it that way."

De Minaur Alex

7e, 4135 points

Boulter Katie

106e, 744 points

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.
