While Jack Draper had failed to identify any real weaknesses in the world number 1's game, pointing only to too much kindness, the main man concerned has a different view of the matter.

As he prepares to challenge Taylor Fritz for the US Open title this Sunday, the 23-year-old was kind enough to confide in us and explain what, for him, is the main weakness in his tennis: "My weakness? Going to the net, that's for sure: sometimes I miss a few volleys.

I think I can do a bit better with my shot selection.

There are also little things, little details that make a big difference at the top level.

My team and I know what we need to improve.

Today (Friday), maybe I should have gone to the net a little bit more."

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared. While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions. This extends all the way to the highest level, where professional players have spoken out, trying as best they can to help their nation.

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.
