Holger Rune was beaten in two sets yesterday by Pedro Martinez, a player far from a specialist in indoor conditions.

After the Dane's unexpected defeat, his mother Aneke spoke to Danish media outlet TV2: "He caught the flu in Denmark after the Davis Cup, and he wasn't feeling well in the match against Sonego.

He had a high fever and we had to consult a doctor. After that, he stayed in bed all day."

For his part, Rune admitted that he had had a "very bad night" before his match, which explains the level displayed by the world No. 12 on Rotterdam's center court yesterday.

It's a job right? So like any other job when you have the flu, (because it's contagious), you should stay home to recover and avoid the risk of contaminating others. So if you are sick and decide to go to work and your performance sucks at your job, don't make excuses because you opted to go to work.

Great point.

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.
