A rare moment between two tennis legends: last year in Shanghai, Djokovic made a friendly statement to Federer, whom he saw for the first time as a spectator. A unique moment, punctuated with a wink to Alcaraz.

Defeated in the final of the Shanghai Masters 1000 last year, Novak Djokovic was observed by a certain Roger Federer in the stands, sitting next to Carlos Alcaraz.

During the trophy ceremony, the Serb had some friendly words for his former rival:

"I'm not used to seeing you in the stands. I wish you were on the court playing with us. It's probably the first time I've played in front of you. That's great. Alcaraz too!

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.?
