Gaël Monfils is inexhaustible.

At 38, the Frenchman is still putting in fine performances, as he is showing this week in Shanghai.

Already victorious over Damir Dzumhur and Sebastian Baez, he has just dominated his young compatriot and friend, Ugo Humbert, in the third round.

He played a very solid match, then took advantage of a diminished Humbert at the end of the game to win after more than 2 hours (7-6, 2-6, 6-1), and will now meet a certain Carlos Alcaraz in the next round.

A match that is bound to feel like a reunion.

As a reminder, Monfils surprised everyone at the Cincinnati tournament by eliminating Alcaraz.

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.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
