Tallon Griekspoor once again lost out to Jannik Sinner in the Davis Cup final in Malaga on Sunday. Defeated for the 6th time in 6 duels, the Dutch No. 1 gave it his all, even giving Sinner doubts in the first set.

Unfortunately for him, the world's No. 1 was stronger in the end, winning in two sets (7-6, 6-2) to secure the title for his nation. In a statement relayed by Punto de Break, Griekspoor reflected on this latest setback, appearing almost disgusted: "I had no choice but to play at a high level.

This Jannik with this level and confidence is incredibly difficult to beat. I tried to give it my best shot and I think I was up to the task in the first set and at the start of the second.

I only committed three unforced errors in the first set and still lost it."

That could be for a number of reasons. Like your strategy to control the play didn't prevent Sinner to be in position to hit winners. Or your defense wasn't good enough to prevent Sinner from hitting winners.

As federations struggle to reinvent themselves, private academies are capturing talent… but also families able to invest tens of thousands of euros a year. A system that is increasingly effective, but also increasingly unequal.

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.

Conceived as a bold bet to prepare for the post–Big 3 era, the Next Gen Masters has shaken up the codes of modern tennis. A pioneering, visionary tournament, but now in search of an identity.

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.
