Defeated by Sabalenka (6-3, 7-6) at the US Open, Anisimova suffered her second consecutive loss in a Grand Slam final. While she was outplayed at Wimbledon against Swiatek (6-0, 6-0), this time she pushed her opponent a bit more, especially in the second set.

Once again very emotional after the handshake, she spoke during the awards ceremony and said the following:

"Reaching two finals is both very beautiful and very tough. Congratulations to Aryna, I often have to face you, it's hard. I admire what you are achieving. Thank you to the fans for supporting me over these two weeks. It's been an incredible fortnight, a dream to be in the final. Thank you to the USTA. Thank you to my team, my loved ones, my family. I’ve been almost deaf in one ear for two weeks."

Despite this disappointment, she will be world number 4 once the WTA rankings are updated.

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.
