Victorious over Taylor Fritz on Tuesday evening (6-4, 6-4), Jannik Sinner was asked about his growing popularity in Italy during his post-match press conference. The Italian replied: "I'm just a 23-year-old man who plays tennis. Playing in Italy is very special.

I'm still surprised sometimes. It's unusual. I'm trying to get used to it. The public here is always incredible. They support you in good times and bad.

I hadn't played in Rome (this year) and it was tough. It's a warm welcome for all of us. It's different from other tournaments.

Italians love sport. This week it's tennis, but usually it's soccer." In his next match on Thursday, Sinner may well have to share the audience of sports fans with soccer, should he play in the evening.

The Italian national team will face Belgium at 8.45pm. It remains to be seen who will win the hearts of the Italian people.

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.
