After his victory over Cobolli (6-4, 6-2) in the quarter-finals of the Beijing tournament, Daniil Medvedev was asked in a press conference about WADA's decision concerning the Italian.

"It's a delicate situation.

WADA is probably doing what it has to do. Let's see how it ends.

We thought it might be over, but it's not.
I'm a bit like Carlos.

I feel for Jannik. But I don't think the image of tennis is getting really bad.

It's not as if ten top 10 players suddenly took the same substance.

I think it's simply an individual situation that we'll see how it ends."

In any case, this affair is likely to continue to be the talk of the town over the coming months.

Maria Sharapova was banned for taking medication which was allowed at the time, just because traces of it were found later on. Her "didn't know" was not enough. Simona Halep also didn't get much consideration. However Jannik's "didn't know" worked quite well. Serena even didn't let WADA officials in to take the probe and got away with it. So it's not really important if you're"dirty" or "clean", what is imore important which country you are from...

If you're implying players from certain countries get preferential treatment based on the 3 cases you presented, I suggest to you that's not the case. I believe Serena would have received privileged treatment regardless of what country she was from.

I just hope WADA completes it's investigation before the AO.

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.
