Jannik Sinner defeated Holger Rune to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Australian Open. However, he had a medical time-out during the match.

After the match, he explained that he was having slight physical problems: "It was a very difficult match for both of us.

I knew he'd played some very long matches before today, so I tried to concentrate mentally, hold my serve and see what I could do from the baseline.

Today, I needed the public's support, so I tried to make them happy. It was a strange morning. I didn't even warm up.

I tried to get on the court as best I could, even though I knew I was going to suffer. Technically, I was playing well, which gave me hope of competing."

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.?
