The between-the-legs shot missed by Corentin Moutet during his Davis Cup match against Raphäel Collignon did not fail to get a reaction from the tennis world.

Ivan Ljubicic, high performance director of the French Tennis Federation, commented on this event: "I don't know what to say. When you select Corentin Moutet, you don't know what might happen. It's still a risk.

In Croatia, it went very well. In Bologna, he played that point in a way that I cannot understand. I have never played a point in my career with the intention of not winning it. There's a difference when you play for yourself or for the French team.

It's a lack of respect for the competition and for the team. It's a shame, he had played a very good first set. He got stuck after that point because he realized he had done something unacceptable.

He apologized. It's the reaction afterward that we need to look at. He said everything that needed to be said. You can't punish someone who apologizes. It's just a shame, that's all."

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

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.
