In a press conference after his victory against Shelton in Turin (6-3, 7-6), Jannik Sinner reacted to the World No. 1 trophy received by his rival Alcaraz.

"I am happy for him, but I would be lying if I told you I was very happy. But he deserves it, he had an incredible season: he won two Grand Slams, eight tournaments. He plays at a very high level and is competitive on any surface.

He had the pressure too, he handled it very well, but I am happy for him. He is a very good guy, he has an excellent team around him and he deserved this reward. For me, it is motivation for next year. If another player had to finish number 1, I would still choose him, he deserves it."

While the Italian was very respectful as usual, there is no doubt that he will be intent on dethroning the Spaniard in 2026.

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.
