Jack Draper confirmed his strong progress on clay by reaching the semifinals of the Madrid Masters 1000 this Thursday after defeating Matteo Arnaldi.

The Briton, who won Indian Wells earlier this year, will officially break into the Top 5 next Monday, achieving a career-high ranking of world No. 5. He will also become the second left-handed player to join the Top 5 in the 21st century after Rafael Nadal.

This milestone comes exactly twenty years after Nadal first entered the Top 5. The Spaniard achieved the feat in May 2005, while Draper will do so in May 2025.

10e, 2990 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.
