The speeches by Arthur Rinderknech and Valentin Vacherot during the Shanghai ceremony were emotional and also relatively long.

Struck by cramps, Rinderknech collapsed to the ground and dropped his trophy while Vacherot was speaking. The Monegasque preferred to make light of it: "It makes me laugh, it relaxes me a bit."

Tournament medical staff then came to the Frenchman's aid and brought him a chair so he could sit down.

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.

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.
