Corentin Moutet didn't have an easy draw, facing Alexei Popyrin. Undaunted by the hostile crowd, the Frenchman won 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.

Popyrin was physically diminished, but didn't want to give up.

He was expected to play the first Grand Slam of the year, in his home country, with a new status: that of top seed.

In the second round, Moutet will face Mitchell Krueger, who won earlier in the day against 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.
