On Monday, Jannik Sinner was officially crowned world number 1 for the 2024 season, in front of his home crowd in Turin. A strong favourite to win the Masters, Sinner was duly honoured, receiving the trophy from Boris Becker and the President of the ATP.

Interviewed in the press conference, the Italian spoke of the emotion felt by his parents, and his mother in particular, at the award ceremony.

He explained that his parents know better than anyone the extent of the sacrifices made to get to this point: "I heard that my mother was crying... it's very sweet. They're the only ones who know how many sacrifices we've made as a family."

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.
