Ugo Humbert has just qualified for the 2nd round of the US Open at Flushing Meadows (New York City). The Frenchman didn't have to force his talent to defeat Thiago Monteiro in three sets (6-3, 6-4, 6-4) and just over two hours.

The Brazilian, ranked 75th in the world, was far too approximate to worry his opponent of the day (37 unforced errors for 23 winners). More precise and consistent (32 unforced errors for 34 winners), without playing his best tennis, Humbert came through without a hitch.

The Frenchman, ranked 17th in the world, will face either Switzerland's Dominic Stricker or Argentina's Francisco Comesana in the 2nd round.

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.
