Winner of Roland-Garros 14 times, Rafael Nadal has a wealth of great memories in Paris. Interviewed by the tournament's press service, he highlighted the uniqueness of the 2020 edition, marked by Covid-19 and held in October instead of May.

He stated: "The first two sets of the 2020 final were undoubtedly very, very special. It was the year of COVID, we played Roland-Garros later in the season, in colder conditions, against Novak in the final, and I felt slightly less favored.

Yet, I managed to reach the final, and in that final, I was able to raise my level of play exceptionally. So it was truly a special moment."

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.
