Arthur Fils delivered a magnificent performance to eliminate Andrey Rublev in the round of 16 at Monte-Carlo.

The Russian was nowhere to be seen in the first set, which Fils won 6-2 in just 28 minutes.

In the second set, the Frenchman managed an early break, but Rublev immediately broke back, giving himself a glimmer of hope that was quickly extinguished.

In the end, Fils triumphed 6-2, 6-3 and will face the winner between Daniel Altmaier and Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals.

In his post-match interview, he said: "Andrey is a great champion, I had to play my best tennis to stand a chance. I’m very happy with how I played and how I moved.

I don’t necessarily think I can beat everyone, but I played well and I feel good. Before this season, I had never reached a Masters 1000 quarterfinal, and now I’ve made three in a row."

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.
