It's always difficult to follow up a great result. That's exactly what Jack Draper has just found out the hard way. Having started the grass-court season at a very high level, he made his mark on Thursday by upsetting Carlos Alcaraz in the last 16 of the Queen's tournament (7-6, 6-4).

A prodigious winner on Thursday, his return to earth was difficult. Up against a very opportunistic Tommy Paul, he was unable to rediscover the quality of play he had shown against Alcaraz the day before. Subdued a little too much in the rallies and on the return (conceding his serve 4 times in the match), the current world No.31 was forced to give up after just over 2 hours of play (6-3, 5-7, 6-4).

Tommy Paul has now quietly qualified for the semi-finals of the Queen's tournament. This Saturday, he will face the winner of the match between Korda and Hijikata.

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.
