Coco Gauff was present at a press conference after her victory against Maria Sakkari at Indian Wells.

A question asked by a journalist was about the American's forehand, which is her weak point.

Moyuka Uchijima, although defeated by Gauff in the second round, stated that attacking her forehand was the strategy to adopt against her.

Gauff responds: "It's obviously the game plan against me, and I would say that since the end of last year, I've been trying to be more aggressive on that side.

I think players will no longer feel as comfortable targeting my forehand.

On that side, I try to be aggressive when I have a neutral ball, especially on this type of court, which is very slow.

So, they have to hit an excellent shot to put me in danger. And, in the end, since I'm always being attacked on my forehand, I end up getting used to it."

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.

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared. While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions. This extends all the way to the highest level, where professional players have spoken out, trying as best they can to help their nation.

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

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...

I love tennis

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.
