The Toronto Masters 1000 started yesterday and will conclude on Thursday, August 7.

This change from the usual Sunday finals has not been well-received by players, including Frances Tiafoe. During a press conference, the world No. 11 criticized the extended schedule of these Masters 1000 events:

"This tournament is a bit shorter than Madrid and Rome, and what’s convenient for me is that I’m close to home. If I lose, I can take a flight and go back. What seems absurd to me is that the final is played on a Thursday.

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.
