Jannik Sinner will attempt to reach the quarter-finals of the US Open this Monday. Having made a convincing start to the tournament, the Italian is about to face his first test of the fortnight, against Tommy Paul, ranked 14th in the world.

Buoyed by an enthusiastic home crowd, the 27-year-old American is determined to upset the plans of the world number 1, who some already see as holding the trophy in his hands.

Interviewed in the press conference, Sinner is expecting quite a fight: "It's going to be a great challenge. He moves very well on the court. He's improved a lot recently.

It's going to be a tough challenge. He plays excellent tennis, especially here in America, so it's going to be a tough match for me.

But I hope I'll be ready to fight in the best possible way, and I'm looking forward to it.

These matches are very exciting to play and I'm happy to be a part of it. We'll see."

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.
