While exhibitions have been multiplying in recent days and will continue until the end of the month, Madison Keys has given her opinion on these events that divide the tennis world.

"I'm not going to pay to see someone serve at 80 km/h"

The Australian Open champion participated in the Charlotte Invitational a few days ago, challenging Venus Williams, insisting that she gave it her all so that spectators could see "real tennis."

"I wouldn't pay to go see an exhibition... I'm not going to pay to see someone serve at 80 km/h and just put the ball back in the court. I want to see real tennis, so I make an effort," she stated on the podcast The Players Box.

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.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
