The Shanghai Masters 1000, taking place from October 1st to 12th, is marked by heat and extreme humidity conditions. This Sunday, two additional players retired during their matches.

While many players have spoken out about this, including Novak Djokovic, Zizou Bergs preferred to joke about the situation during his match against Francisco Cerundolo.

The Belgian took a bathroom break after winning the first set, to cool down and change clothes.

Upon returning to the court, he appeared shirtless with a towel on his back, announcing: "I just got back from the pool."

Bergs won 7-6, 6-3 against Cerundolo and will face Gabriel Diallo for a spot in the quarterfinals.

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.
