Humbert on the calendar: "It never stops!"

Ugo Humbert had a great tournament in Tokyo.

Back with renewed confidence, the Frenchman racked up a string of fine victories before losing to his friend and compatriot, Arthur Fils, in the final (5-7, 7-6, 6-3).

Questioned at the press conference, the left-hander was determined to remain positive, returning above all to the demands of the ATP calendar.

Indeed, both Frenchmen are expected in Shanghai this week: "I leave tomorrow (Wednesday). We play on Friday. It's a seamless transition.

It's crazy, this tennis, it never stops! Every week, you're there with your suitcase and then you leave again.

It's exhausting. When I won Dubai (in March), I barely had time to celebrate.

Now, Arthur, in three days, he's back on the court and off he goes again. It's crazy."

Humbert Ugo

37e, 1380 points

Fils Arthur

40e, 1260 points

Fils A

Humbert U

So what? In 9 years he earned almost $5M just from playing, probably more from sponsors. In those 9 years, "normal" people earned $100K to $1M, depending on job and country, some even less than that, working really hard jobs 8+ hours a day, 5-6 days a week, without having the opportunity to get eliminated in round 1 and sleep through the week...

Humbert explodes, Fils is crowned Tokyo champion!

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

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.
