Italian tennis legend Nicola Pietrangeli, 91, regularly speaks out in the media about Jannik Sinner and his recent successes.

After the Australian Open final won by the world No.1, Pietrangeli, interviewed by the Adnkronos media, spoke of Sinner's current dominance over the rest of the tour:

"The final was a walk in the park for him. He's walking around the court. I said last year that Sinner should give his opponents an advantage this season.

Nobody is at his level and it's not their fault. He's just too strong. I had written that this final would end in three sets, and it did. I predicted the result and I expected it, because he's too strong.

I think he can only lose a match if he hasn't slept well or isn't feeling well. I don't know what he can improve on, he's already world n°1. We can see that he's enjoying himself on the court and that's important."

Struggles with injuries and lack of money: the double punishment for tennis players far from the Top 100 stars
Struggles with injuries and lack of money: the double punishment for tennis players far from the Top 100 stars

A tennis player's income depends solely on his sporting results. In the event of injury, the daily life of those far from the Top 100 can become extremely complicated.

Exhausted but omnipresent stars, ever-longer tournaments and exhibitions that have become a business in their own right: tennis is revealing its deepest contradictions, torn between spectacle and physical survival.

Lavish tournaments, record prize money, strategic partnerships: Saudi Arabia is imposing itself at breakneck speed in the world of tennis.
Is padel threatening tennis? Inside the revolution shaking up the established order
Is padel threatening tennis? Inside the revolution shaking up the established order

Born almost by accident in an Acapulco garden, padel has in fifty years become a global phenomenon that both fascinates and worries tennis. Its meteoric rise is already reshaping the landscape of racket sports.

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

I love tennis

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.
