Things are getting more complicated for Holger Rune.

Forced to retire against Arthur Fils in the quarter-finals of the Hamburg tournament (6-4, 4-1 ab.), the Dane is causing serious concern.

Already moderately reassuring after his match in Germany, the current world number 16 has just announced his withdrawal from the Umag tournament.

On social networking sites, he declared: "Unfortunately, the first tests on my wrist are not good.

So I won't be able to play in Umag this week.

I'm happy to have had the chance to meet all my fans here and I hope to be back.

Tomorrow there will be more tests and we'll see if the conclusions are the same for everyone. Thank you for your support and thank you to the tournament for doing whatever it took to help me."

With just a few days to go before the start of the Olympic Games, Rune's physical condition is a matter of concern, and it's not impossible that he could be forced to withdraw.

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.
