Joao Fonseca had all eyes on him after his first-round victory over Andrey Rublev at the Australian Open.

The Brazilian was on a 14-match winning streak.

Unfortunately for him, he was eliminated in the second round by Lorenzo Sonego. The Italian was solid and came through in five sets, 6-7, 6-3, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3.

This is the first time he has reached the third round of a Grand Slam since 2023.

Sonego will face Fabien Marozsan, who beat Frances Tiafoe earlier in the day.

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.
