Laurent Lokoli had spoken a few months ago for L'Équipe about the violence and threats related to sports betting.

He had shared an anecdote about Stefano Travaglia: "A bettor was violently harassing Travaglia.

To the point that the tournament director had to intervene.

Travaglia had just lost his match, and the bettor was not happy. He was ready to fight."

Following the threats against Arthur Bouquier this Tuesday at the Thionville Challenger, Lokoli reiterated his statement: "I stand by it.

One day, because of this scourge, there will be a tragedy."

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

Omnipresent cameras, line judges on the verge of extinction, mistakes that persist nonetheless: technology fascinates as much as it divides. Tennis, at a crossroads, is still searching for its balance between progress and emotion.

Conceived as a bold bet to prepare for the post–Big 3 era, the Next Gen Masters has shaken up the codes of modern tennis. A pioneering, visionary tournament, but now in search of an identity.

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.
