Since it's now official that Rafael Nadal will end his career at the Davis Cup finals, it's also official that Olivier Mutis will remain the only Frenchman to have beaten the Spaniard on clay (at Palermo in 2004).

Speaking to RMC Sport, the Frenchman reacted to the announcement of the King of clay's retirement: "Winning the French Open 14 times is the greatest sporting achievement of all. It will be unequalled.

But I think it's still harder to win on different surfaces.

Should I send him a message? I'll leave him alone, it must be hard enough for him.

I'm not going to remind him of this defeat (smile)."

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.
