Shnaider

Tennis players are regularly targeted by malicious individuals sending insulting or even threatening messages.

Quoted by RIA Novosti Sport, Diana Shnaider has learned to put these into perspective: "It doesn't matter whether we win or lose. The comments are abundant, whether they come from bettors or simply envious people.

"We take a step back"

Maybe one in ten comments is positive, the other nine negative. But with age, we take a step back and look at things with a smile, realizing what we have accomplished and what the future holds for us, without taking these words literally."

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.?
