This Saturday, not before 10pm, Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula will battle it out for the final crown of this US Open 2024.

When asked about this match, Eurosport consultant John McEnroe was keen to highlight Sabalenka's level of play, even comparing her to Serena Williams: "They're two of the greatest hitters ever to play women's tennis.

I think Sabalenka has really improved her movement, but I don't think at her best she's as athletic as Serena. But she's getting close.

I have a lot of respect for her because she's really maximized what she can do on the court and that's why she's finally winning major tournaments and is in contention in almost every major tournament.

She's the favorite."

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.
