Varvara Gracheva defeated Ella Seidel and advanced to the quarterfinals of the WTA 1000 tournament in Cincinnati.

This is the first time the Frenchwoman has reached this stage of competition in a tournament of this category. In comments reported by *L’Équipe*, she said: "Did I imagine getting here? No.

But I wanted it, for sure. We all want to play well and achieve good results. But to be honest, I’m not used to all this.

Honestly, Ella Seidel had just as much chance as I did to win. I’m happy to still be in the running. This is a new situation for me. I’ll try to observe a bit, to understand what’s happening. I’m happy."

Gracheva will face Veronika Kudermetova for a spot in the semifinals.

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.
