Ben Shelton continues to amaze, defeating Rublev (7-6, 6-3) to reach the quarter-finals in the French capital.

At just 23 years and 18 days old, the American prodigy delivered an impressive performance at the Paris Masters 1000: he becomes the youngest American player to reach the quarter-finals since a certain Andy Roddick in 2003.

Known for his immense power on serve, Shelton reminds us of his elder. But that's not all. Eighteen years after the last American man's Grand Slam triumph, Shelton represents a tangible hope.

Along with Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, and Tommy Paul, he is part of a generation ready to restore American tennis to its former glory. And Shelton has something extra: an aura, reminiscent of Roddick in his early days.

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.
