Daniil Medvedev is not a classic player.

A sure thing on the ATP circuit, the Russian doesn't mince his words.

Asked about his childhood idols, Medvedev explained that, in his opinion, there should be none: "People always ask me if I had an idol.

I've loved a lot of players, but an idol? I'm Daniil Medvedev.

Whether I become a top-10 player or not, I'm still Daniil Medvedev. I'd say I'm my own idol.

I live this life, why should I idolize anyone else? I'd say: 'Live as you live, what happens, happens'.

In the end, everything went very well, and I'm happy about that. There were a lot of difficult moments, happy moments and sad moments.

Sometimes you cry, sometimes you laugh, but that's part of life.

So there's no message to give, just live and move on."

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.
