It's been 10 years since Switzerland won the Davis Cup, in an eventful final against France.

Stan Wawrinka chided the French after the victory: "They had put the bottles (of champagne) in the French dressing room, but they quickly put them back in the Swiss dressing room."

Following this statement, tensions arose between the two teams. Wawrinka says: "I found myself with the whole French team around me asking questions, not being happy, with the frustration of defeat.

There was one person who stepped in, and that was Gaël Monfils, who said to leave me alone."

Roger Federer, who was not involved in the altercation, didn't appreciate Wawrinka's treatment: "Everyone was congratulating me on winning the Davis Cup. I think they decided to throw me all the flowers and basically ignore Stan.

And I thought that was pretty rotten. They'd say, "Bravo Rog', you're incredible." And I was like, "Okay, I see where you're going with this. It's all about hurting Stan."

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.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
