An improbable scene in Shanghai 2023: Mohamed Lahyani, star ATP umpire, officially declared the victory of... Tsitsipas, when the triumph actually belonged to Ugo Humbert.

We're in the third round of the Shanghai Masters 1000. Stefanos Tsitsipas, fourth seed, loses for the second time in his career against Ugo Humbert after a thrilling duel (6-4, 3-6, 7-5).

While the Frenchman fiercely celebrates this victory against his opponent, chair umpire Mohamed Lahyani makes a rather amusing mistake by announcing Tsitsipas as the winner of the match.

A huge blunder that wasn't noticed by Humbert.

Davis Cup: between reforms, criticism and national culture
Davis Cup: between reforms, criticism and national culture

From controversial reform to fiery statements, the Davis Cup continues to divide. Between nostalgia for the old formats and unwavering love for the jersey, players share their truths about a competition that, despite everything, still makes hearts race.

Outfits, logos, and personalized collections: brands invest millions in players, turning every match into a global advertising showcase.

Lavish tournaments, record prize money, strategic partnerships: Saudi Arabia is imposing itself at breakneck speed in the world of tennis.

A tennis player's income depends solely on his sporting results. In the event of injury, the daily life of those far from the Top 100 can become extremely complicated.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

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.
