Winner at Wimbledon in 2022 and a semifinalist last year, Rybakina left the English capital before the Round of 16, defeated by Tauson (7-6, 6-3). Questioned in the press zone after this disappointment, the Kazakh player pointed to the day's scheduling, questioning the court assignments.

"This isn’t the first time it’s happened, but I expected to play on Centre Court or at least Court No. 1. Those are courts where everything is more comfortable due to the lack of wind, especially on days like today. In any case, the conditions were the same for both of us, and I wasn’t able to adapt."

For context, only Centre Court and Court No. 1 have a roof at Wimbledon. Other players must wait when weather conditions are unfavorable.

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.
