Alexander Bublik won the Halle tournament this Sunday and will once again make a leap in the ATP rankings, having been ranked just 80th in the world as recently as March.

Interviewed after his victory in the final against Daniil Medvedev, the Kazakh made a revelation about his career: "It’s hard to talk. I’ve had such tough months since last Wimbledon.

I was close to retiring after Wimbledon because I wasn’t enjoying it anymore. I promised my coach that I would stay, keep training, and after Wimbledon, I’d make a decision—whether I needed a break for a few months before trying to come back.

Now, this happens. I don’t know. Quarterfinals at Roland Garros, winner here.

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.?
