Ahead of the Rome tournament, Coco Gauff held a press conference where she was asked about the papal election starting this Wednesday—an event that will overshadow the Rome Masters 1000.

She stated: "I’m not Catholic, but I’ll try to go because the election of a pope is a historic event. I’ve learned a lot since I don’t know much about the Catholic religion.

Since I’m here, I’d love to go and see it."

For her opening match, she will face either Arianna Zucchini or Victoria Mboko.

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.
