Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard continues to blossom. After winning the title in Lyon just before the French Open, the 20-year-old continues to make his mark. Ranked 67th in the world this week, he has just won his first official match in a major grass-court tournament at Queen's.

A qualifier, he brilliantly defeated the tournament's number 6 seed, Ben Shelton (6-3, 7-6).

Buoyed by a devastating serve (16 aces, 0 break points conceded) and some very dry forehand strokes, the Frenchman beat the out-of-sorts Shelton.

With a very solid match (25 winners, 9 unforced errors), he reaches the last 16, where a potentially worthy opponent awaits him: Billy Harris (162nd, invited by the tournament organizers).

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.
