Maylin on the doping scandal: The image is disastrous.

This year, doping control cases have shaken up tennis. First there was Jannik Sinner's positive test, which was cleared by the ITIA, before the World Anti-Doping Agency lodged an appeal.

Then, a few days ago, we learned that Iga Swiatek had tested positive for a banned substance and had been suspended for a month after demonstrating the involuntary nature of her intake.

Faced with this obvious vagueness, a number of reactions have followed this season, many of them questioning the impartiality of the competent institutions.

Benoit Maylin, tennis consultant on the TV show 'Sans filet', said: "How can you imagine that Swiatek is secretly suspended for three weeks, then allowed to play in the Masters before serving another week's suspension?

The whole thing lacks coherence and, above all, transparency, and gives the unpleasant impression that we're being taken for a ride, that things are being hidden from us. The image is disastrous.

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.
