Surprised twice this season by the young American Learner Tien, Daniil Medvedev set the record straight in an electrifying duel in Shanghai. A hard-fought victory after nearly 3 hours of battle.

One might have thought he would be unsettled by an opponent who had already beaten him twice in 2025, at the Australian Open and then in Beijing. But this time, Daniil Medvedev emerged victorious.

Facing the rising talent Learner Tien, the former world number 1 bared his claws, overpowering his opponent in a gripping 2-hour and 52-minute arm-wrestle to advance to the quarterfinals of the Shanghai Masters 1000.

The match was a battle of endurance, nerves, and strategy. But in the key moments, it was the Russian who came out on top. With this qualification, Medvedev reaches his 24th Masters 1000 quarterfinal, his third this season after Indian Wells and Madrid.

Next goal: the quarterfinals, with a clash against a world top 10 player: Australian Alex de Minaur.

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.
