Despite some wonderful points, Fognini was no match for Taylor Fritz (beaten 6-3, 6-4). The Italian, no longer really up to scratch physically, can still count on a magic arm to help him win a few more matches.

In the run-up to the French Open, where he has often played well, the 36-year-old Italian confirmed his desire to play for a while longer: "I've still got that fire inside me. Competition is what keeps me afloat. Losing is part of the sport and I'm not interested in that little detail. As long as I have that fire inside me, you'll have to see me for a long time to come."

With the retirements of some of the game's biggest names approaching (Nadal, Murray, Thiem,...), 'Fogna', for his part, shows no signs of stopping.

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.
