Lleyton Hewitt, Australian tennis legend and captain of his country's Davis Cup team, has been caught by the patrol in recent hours. The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has suspended the former world number one for two weeks due to offensive behavior toward an anti-doping control officer following his team's defeat in the semifinals of the 2024 Davis Cup against Italy.

Additionally, Hewitt, 44, has been fined 30,000 Australian dollars (approximately 17,000 euros). In a press conference before the World Group qualifying match against Belgium in Sydney, Hewitt announced that he intends to appeal the ITIA's decision.

"I am truly disappointed with the overall decision but also, to be honest, with the entire process and the lack of facts that were presented. But I will begin the appeal procedure with my legal team, so I won't discuss it further," Hewitt stated, according to comments gathered by L'Équipe.

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.
