While the Beijing final was within reach, Daniil Medvedev experienced physical problems that prevented him from winning his semifinal against Learner Tien.

Quoted by Sports.ru, the Russian explained his withdrawal: "It was more mental. That's what happens now; it was a difficult period, but little by little, it's getting better.

Today, my brain didn't let me finish the match, and then the cramps started, but it's okay. I hope it doesn't happen next time.

It's still somewhat okay, but better than on the court before. I can walk, however. It was difficult in the locker room during the first five minutes after the match. It'll be fine now.

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.?
