Iga Swiatek has advanced to the quarterfinals in Cincinnati and will face Anna Kalinskaya tomorrow.

After her round of 16 victory against Sorana Cirstea, the world No. 3 and Wimbledon champion admitted she was surprised by her progress on serve since Wim Fissette joined her team as coach.

"Honestly, I'm the kind of player who needs to see proof. If the serves go in, then I’ll be convinced. I’d say at the start of the season and when I began working with Wim, I didn’t think I could consistently serve at 180-185 km/h. I think he’s helped me reach those higher speeds.

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.
