Coco Gauff had to work hard against Ajla Tomljanovic in her opening match at the US Open. It took her 3 hours and 3 sets to overcome the Australian player.

In the post-match press conference, she admitted to having difficulties. She stated: "Yes, it was a tough match. I had opportunities to win it in two sets. Ajla was tough.

It wasn't the best match, but I'm happy to be through to the next round.

I had so many opportunities and I knew it would eventually happen. I had chances to close it out in two sets, I had chances to get a double break multiple times.

Honestly, it was very difficult, quite mentally draining. But there's improvement compared to last week in Cincinnati.

What if tennis lost its soul? The case of robotized officiating, between tradition and a dehumanized modernity

Adrien Guyot 13/12/2025 à 09h00

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.
