There will be a new champion in Monte-Carlo on Sunday. World No. 16 Lorenzo Musetti managed to defeat Stefanos Tsitsipas in three sets (1-6, 6-4, 6-3) after 2 hours and 21 minutes of play.

Facing an opponent he had never beaten in five previous meetings, Musetti turned the match around after losing the first set decisively. He saved 14 of the 17 break points he faced on his serve.

Qualifying for his first career Masters 1000 semifinal, the Italian also became the first player born in 2002 to reach the final four in this tournament category. He will face Alex De Minaur tomorrow for a spot in the final.

Tsitsipas, a three-time Monte-Carlo champion and defending titleholder, will lose 800 points next Monday and drop out of the Top 15 for the first time since 2018, falling to No. 16 in the world rankings.

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.
