Eliminated in the 2nd round of the ATP 500 in Dallas by Denis Shapovalov, Taylor Fritz spoke to Tennis Channel about an injury he suffered after the Australian Open due to a change in ball quality.

The world No. 4 suffered a muscle tear after training with balls completely different from those used in Melbourne:

"I injured myself because of the balls that were supposed to be the same as the ones we use in Australia. But they weren't.

They were the deadest bullets ever. I had to put my whole body into every shot I hit.

I think I tore something slightly, but I managed to recover during my time here."

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.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
