Alex De Minaur secured his spot in the Madrid Masters 1000 round of 16 this Saturday by defeating Lorenzo Sonego 6-2, 6-3.

The Australian took time during his press conference to address several hot topics, including the 12-day Masters 1000 format:

"Even if we’re not playing every day, this version of the Masters 1000 forces us to stay in competition mode for a long period.

We have to stick to our routines, stay focused on our tennis, and constantly think about what we need to do to perform at our best.

Back-to-back Masters 1000 events in this format keep you in that state for a month. That’s why, for example, I prefer the Monte-Carlo format (one week). Rest between matches isn’t necessary. And you know the tournament will be over in a week."

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.
