Interviewed by Australian magazine Esquire, Jannik Sinner was asked about his weak points.

The Italian replied: "In the US Open final, I didn't serve well. That can happen. But it's a shot where there's a lot of room for improvement.

I'm convinced that, no matter how hard you try, you always have bad days. But it's important to be able to vary your shots, to have more confidence at net, to work on your volley and to have a different feel for the ball.

If I had to describe my style to someone unfamiliar with tennis, I'd say it's a mixture of solidity and aggressiveness. I find it harder to defend.

In fact, I try not to defend. My tennis is versatile, but I still don't know how to play well at the net.

One player who has helped me improve a lot is Medvedev. I'd never done a serve-volley, and he forced me to practice that to try and beat him. Against certain players, I have to do more long backhands.

In tennis, you learn from your relationship with your opponent. The real question for the player is: how do you get into your opponent's head? If you can guess the answer, things change in the match."

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

I love tennis

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.
