Rick Macci, former coach of Maria Sharapova, Andy Roddick, Serena and Venus Williams among others, has been highly complimentary of Joao Fonseca.

The Brazilian delivered an impressive victory against Hubert Hurkacz in his first match at Roland-Garros.

Macci stated about Fonseca: "Fonseca is the best young talent I’ve seen since Carlos, the one who has the essential qualities to win Grand Slams.

He will gain incredible experience on how to lose and how to win, and in two years, he will be at the level of Sinner and Alcaraz."

Next up at Roland-Garros this Thursday for the Brazilian is a match against Pierre-Hugues Herbert.

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.
