Venus Williams made her return to competition this summer in Washington with the US Open in her sights. Eliminated in the first round of the American Grand Slam, what does the future hold for Venus?

In a press conference, she provided some insights: "Are there any other tournaments in the United States before the end of the season? Can someone move a tournament here?

I don't know if I'm ready to travel that far to play at this stage of my career. I love competition, and my level of play has improved a lot since Washington.

I've worked hard to get back to seeing success, but in the end, there's much more to accomplish than just winning three or four matches.

If I lost today, it was because of poor decisions at certain moments, in addition to a lack of training. These are things that are hard to avoid right now.

For example, I wasn't able to come back as I would have liked, even though I did my best, but I didn't manage to do it.

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

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.
