A huge surprise on Court 9 at Roland-Garros, where Karen Khachanov was eliminated in the 2nd round of this 2024 edition. All the more surprising given that the Russian, ranked 18th in the world, was leading 2 sets to 0 against Jozef Kovalik, ranked 145th in the world and Lucky Loser (drafted in after losing in the final qualifying round). But the 31-year-old Slovak didn't give up and won after 3 hours and a half of play (4-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4).

Khachanov will surely have huge regrets, as he seemed to have this match in his hands. Especially as he led 2-0 then 4-2 in the 3rd set before conceding 7 consecutive games. But in the end, it's Kovalik who will be competing with Holger Rune on Saturday for a place in the last 16.

Khachanov K • 18

Kovalik J • LL

Rune H • 13

Musetti far too strong for Monfils at Roland-Garros!

Asked about the attitude of French spectators, Medvedev qualifies the debate: "There's an unofficial rule."

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.
