Elena Rybakina made a solid debut in the first round of the US Open.

Rybakina went from strength to strength on Tuesday.

Surprised by Fernandez in Cincinnati and then making the bold choice to part company with her long-time coach, the Kazakh didn't procrastinate, successfully overcoming qualifier Aiava in the first round of the New York Major (6-1, 7-6).

After starting the match on her own, the world number 4 resisted her opponent's comeback perfectly to win the tiebreak and avoid a potentially dangerous third set.

Highly effective, she will now face a Frenchwoman in the second round, as qualifier Jessika Ponchet awaits her.

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.
