The final between Reilly Opelka and Jiri Lehecka at the ATP 250 Brisbane did not live up to its promise. The American withdrew after 15 minutes of play at 4-1, due to injury.

To the incomprehension and disappointment of the audience, Opelka went to tell Lehecka and the referee that he was unable to continue the match.

The Czech wins his second title on the ATP circuit. In a post-match interview, he said: "It's never easy to finish a match like that. I know how you feel, Reilly. It was a great week for me in Brisbane."

After this singles final, he moves on to the doubles final, partnering Jakub Mensik to take on the Cash/Glasspool pair.

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.
