Due to a very packed schedule on the first day of Wimbledon, Fritz and Mpetshi Perricard started their match late in the evening. Although the encounter seemed likely to finish, the organizers decided to interrupt the match 40 minutes before the curfew (11 PM). The score was (7-6, 7-6, 4-6, 6-7).

A decision that left the American baffled: "We had more time than the longest set we played. Why ask for our opinion if the decision is already made?" His anger didn’t stop there, as he doubled down on his Instagram account: "They would have let us play if my opponent had agreed. I said I wanted to play, he didn’t."

The match will resume in the second rotation on Court No. 1, right after Sinner-Nardi.

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.
