Alex De Minaur closed out the Round of 16 with a three-set win over Alex Michelsen (6-0, 7-6, 6-3) on Rod Laver Arena.

After leading 6-0, and a break in the second set, the Australian slackened off a little when serving for the set win, but dominated the tie-break to leave his opponent with no hope.

In the final set, Michelsen could regret not having been sufficiently offensive, with only 43% of De Minaur's first serves going in during the match.

In his first quarter-final in Melbourne, De Minaur will face world No.1 Jannik Sinner, an opponent he has never beaten in nine meetings.

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.
