Caroline Garcia will begin her final professional tournament tomorrow at the US Open.

The Frenchwoman, who has been determined to retire for several months now, will face Kamilla Rakhimova in the first round. In the meantime, she made an appearance on Marion Bartoli's show on RMC, discussing among other things her desire to become captain of the French BJK Cup team:

"At some point, I would like to because it's a competition that means a lot to me. I would like to try to be captain. I don't know if the timing is ideal right now."

For reference, the French team has been without a captain since the end of April and the departure of Julien Benneteau, and they are stuck in the second division of the competition.

Stay away. You were never a great. You were never fantastic. Your achievements have been lacklustre. Below the expectations. Below board. Below average. Just stay away from tennis. You have little to nothing to add to the game. Enjoy your retirement. Enjoy life. Have fun. I wish you all the happiness in the world. But, please, stay away from tennis. You haven't achieved anything that would make you worthy of a tennis mogul.

She achieved a lot more than you, loser.

It's ok. You don't know me either, loser!

Ha ha ha ha. You don't even know me. You're the loser!

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.
