Coco Gauff secured her spot in the Madrid Open final by defeating Iga Swiatek. In the post-match press conference, she analyzed her victory: "She’s a talented player who knows how to make you run around the court.

I tried not to let her do that. I’ve improved a lot since our first matches, and it shows in the results.

Of course, she’s also started playing better, but today, everything went perfectly for me."

If she wins against Aryna Sabalenka, the American will become world No. 2.

When asked about this, Gauff responded: "Honestly, it’s not that important to me. The only spot that really matters is the first one. The rest are just numbers.

Sure, it’s a recognition of my consistency, but it’s not the ultimate goal."

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.
