Ugo Humbert has announced the arrival of a new, somewhat special member to his team: a chef.

In an interview with L'Équipe, the Frenchman explained his decision: "Actually, the United States is the country where I feel the least comfortable, the least at ease.

Already, at tournament sites, there’s a lot of noise, generally, with loud music, for example. But it’s also a place where I have trouble eating.

I’m talking about the quality. You go to a restaurant, and you get plastic salads, for example, and I always end up with a stomachache.

I’m hypersensitive to that, I’m very careful about nutrition.

I’m also gluten intolerant, I can eat a little bit, but I have to be careful, otherwise, there’s pain.

So, I hired a chef."

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.?
