The pre-match had been heated and the tone had been set by Arthur Rinderknech, who said, in reference to their previous duel at Roland Garros in 2023: "The atmosphere will be calmer and he'll cry a little less this time, I think".

The atmosphere was indeed calmer on Thursday on Court 12 of the All England Lawn Tennis Club than on Court Suzanne Lenglen just over a year ago. And Taylor Fritz didn't cry.

But, as on the Paris clay court, the American didn't give up more than one set to the Frenchman, winning in two hours and 17 minutes (6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4). The world n°12 will face Chile's Alejandro Tabilo in the third round.

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.
