Casper Ruud won the biggest title of his career when he defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas on the clay courts of Barcelona on Sunday. But the emotion of victory didn't dampen the Norwegian's spirits, and he took advantage of his victory speech to celebrate the other event of the day: the birthday of his little sister, Charlotte, who turns 18.

Casper Ruud: "I don't know if this is the right thing to do, but it's actually my sister's birthday today. So I wanted to wish her a happy birthday in Norway. She's 18, so it's a big day. Happy birthday Charlotte and see you in a few days."

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.
