Casper Ruud is one hell of a fighter. Far from his best tennis form in recent weeks, the Norwegian didn't come far from the exit on Friday.

Up against an uninhibited and enterprising Juncheng Shang, the world number 8 seemed unable to react for a long time, especially when he found himself two sets down after just over 2 hours of duel.

However, far from admitting defeat, Ruud reacted like a champion. Winning 18 of the last 22 games of the match, he seriously raised his level of tennis, no longer committing many errors, hitting the ball hard and putting a lot of weight into it.

After a mental battle lasting almost 4 hours, the 25-year-old earned his ticket to the second week, where Taylor Fritz awaits him.

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.
