Gaël Monfils didn't have an easy first round at the ATP 250 Brisbane. On Tuesday, he beat Nishesh Basavareddy 6-4, 4-6, 6-1.

The Frenchman came through in three sets, beating a young player in great form (the two players are 19 years apart) and who will benefit from a wild card at the Australian Open.

On serve, Monfils performed well, hitting 18 aces. In the second round, he will probably have his work cut out against the winner of the match between Novak Djokovic and Rinky Hijikata.

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.
