Facing Felix Auger-Aliassime in the 2nd round, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard relied on his first service ball to win in just over an hour.

With 83% of points won behind his first serve (22 aces) and no break points conceded, the Frenchman played a solid enough match to win in two sets (6-1, 7-6) and reach the quarter-finals in Basel for the first time in his career.

He will meet another Canadian, Denis Shapovalov, for a place in the semi-finals.

Félix Auger-Aliassime was the surprise two-time title-holder in Basel, having won the tournament in 2022 and 2023.

Roger Federer's record of 3 consecutive titles will therefore not be equalled for the time being.

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.
