Aryna Sabalenka held a press conference in Stuttgart. Although she will only play on Saturday due to Anastasia Potapova's withdrawal, the Belarusian spoke with the journalists present.

She answered a question about Grand Slam prize money. She said: "I think we deserve a bigger percentage. I think that we, the players, provide the show.

We deserve to be paid a little better. I think if we compare tennis with other sports, there is a big difference between the percentage we receive compared to the NHL, the NBA, and other sports.

It’s an individual sport, I won’t go too far because you can’t compare sports, but I would say we deserve a better percentage at Grand Slams. Well, in all tournaments."

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.
