Jasmine Paolini takes on Mirra Andreeva this Thursday in the semi-finals of the French Open. The 28-year-old Italian is obviously expecting a big battle at this stage of the competition. All the more so as she already considers the Russian a great player despite her young age (17). As she explained in her press conference.

Jasmine Paolini: "With Mirra (Andreeva) it's going to be a tough match. I played against her in Madrid and... she's already a great player. She's so young, but she's so strong mentally and she can defend very well. She can serve very well.

So it's going to be a complicated match. But we're in the semi-finals, so there's no chance of any easy matches (laughs)."

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.
