Is David Goffin back to his best?

A semi-finalist in Winston-Salem last week, the Belgian followed up his performance at the US Open with a perfect first-round victory over Alejandro Tabilo (ranked 21st in the world) (7-6, 6-1, 7-5).

On a great day, Goffin gave no chance to a Chilean who was totally outmatched and unable to find a solution against the former world number 7.

Impressive on serve (16 aces) and devilishly percussive in the exchange (46 winners, 29 unforced errors), he scored his finest victory since two years ago, when he beat Carlos Alcaraz, then world number 1.

The 33-year-old's bluffing performance takes him through to the second round, where he will face the winner of the duel between Mannarino and Coric.

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.
