On eight occasions, Taylor Townsend was one point away from qualifying for the quarterfinals of the US Open. But she hadn't counted on an inspired Barbora Krejcikova, who saved most of the match points with style.

The American, who started the tournament ranked 139th in the world, will move closer to the top 100 next week. In a press conference, she expressed confidence in her ability to go further in the Majors:

"I am where I need to be. I have everything I need to be in the top 20, top 10, and win a Grand Slam. She (Krejcikova) is a two-time Grand Slam champion. I beat a Grand Slam winner (Ostapenko) in this tournament. I have everything I need.

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.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
