Gaël Monfils faced Nishesh Basavareddy in the semi-finals of the ATP 250 Auckland tournament on Friday.

The two players had already met last week in Brisbane. As in Brisbane, Monfils came out on top, 7-6, 6-4.

The Frenchman thus qualifies for the Auckland final, where he will face Zizou Bergs, who came from behind to beat Nuno Borges in three sets, 6-2, 3-6, 7-5.

Monfils will be aiming for his 13th career title this Saturday, the last coming in Stockholm in October 2023.

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared.

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.
