The European Football Championship is definitely on everyone's mind. And Donna Vekic is not about to contradict us.

Taking part in the Bad Homburg tournament in Germany, the Croatian couldn't help but make reference to her side's 1-1 draw with Italy on Monday.

Asked about her qualification for the quarter-finals of the event, following her victory over Alexandrova (6-4, 3-6, 6-3), Vekic said she was happy to be playing tennis and not soccer: "I started playing tennis at the age of 6 and fell in love with it straight away.

In fact, I'm quite happy not to be in soccer. I don't know if you saw, but Croatia suffered a very tough defeat last night (a draw really). It was a long night."

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.
