Naomi Osaka claimed victory this Sunday at the WTA 125 in Saint-Malo by defeating Kaja Juvan in the final. This marks the Japanese player's first title since 2021 and the birth of her daughter, as well as the very first clay-court title of her career.

On her X account, she reacted with these words:

"It’s a little ironic to win my first title since coming back on what I thought was my worst surface. But that’s one of the things I love most about life—there’s always room to grow and evolve.

Thank you to everyone who’s been on this journey with me. I know there’s been a lot of turbulence, but it’s also been really fun, and I’m grateful for it."

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.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
