Jack Draper will look to build on his strong performance in Madrid, where he reached the final, as he continues his highly successful start to the 2025 season at Rome.

Now ranked world No. 5, the Brit shared his mindset in a press conference: "No matter my ranking, I always stay true to myself.

I use fear and doubt as motivation to bring out my best in every match. Nothing changes, no matter my level.

Rankings are important, but winning a Masters 1000, some ATP 500s and ATP 250s, and reaching a Grand Slam semifinal last year have all given me a boost when I’ve felt down.

I can tell myself, ‘You’re a good player, Jack, don’t worry.’ Those results help you stay confident."

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.
