Unfortunately, the Cincinnati Masters 1000 final could not be completed due to Jannik Sinner's withdrawal, as he was feeling unwell on the court.

When asked about it, Alcaraz revealed that he did not realize his opponent's suffering at the start of the match.

"I know Sinner and his game very well. Honestly, I didn't realize he was struggling at the beginning of the match.

Then, in the third game, I noticed that he was making many more errors and being much more aggressive than usual. At that point, I understood that something was wrong with him.

I just tried to stay focused; my goal was to keep playing the way I was. I'm disappointed that I only got to play five games against Sinner.

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.
