Taylor Fritz, a three-time Eastbourne champion, advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating young talent Joao Fonseca (6-3, 6-7, 7-5).

When Tennis TV posted the match highlights on Instagram, the world No. 6 didn’t hold back, suggesting the video would heavily feature his opponent’s winning shots:

"Commenting before watching the points… I bet 80% of the highlights are Fonseca’s. Maybe 1 or 2 points of mine where I win. […] Update: I was right."

Fritz later deleted his comments.

Players and fans already know that they keep pushing this kid in the marketing like he is some kind of star or something.

A few months ago Fonseca was playing challengers and several ATP accounts were promoting and hyping him there.

It is beyong embarrasing what they are doing with this kid.

Just like that did with Carlos. A product of carefully choreographed PR. And people fall for it.

It isn't Fonseca's fault Fritz game doesn't lend itself well to highlights.

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.
