Gracheva faced Eala in the semifinals of the Eastbourne tournament. The two players had met only once before on the tour, last week on grass in Nottingham (a victory for the Filipina, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3).

After splitting the first two sets, the two qualifiers engaged in a tight start to the third set until the world No. 74 pulled ahead by breaking the Frenchwoman at 3-3. Solid on her serves, Eala sealed the match in 2 hours and 22 minutes with a score of 7-5, 2-6, 6-3.

Strong on grass this season, the Filipina has now claimed her 10th win in 13 matches on the surface and once again triumphed over Gracheva.

Having come through qualifying, she will compete in her first career tour final against the winner of the match between Jabeur and Pavlyuchenkova.

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.
