Lorenzo Sonego made a name for himself with a spectacular move at the Moselle Open.

Facing Daniel Altmaier in Metz, the Italian had to work hard to overcome the world number 46. The result: 6-4, 7-6 in 2 hours and 2 minutes of play and a qualification for the semi-finals.

Against a very solid German opponent, Sonego had to fight hard, more than once, to win his points. As evidenced by this rally at 5-5, 15-15, on Altmaier's serve.

Indeed, while the German was clearly dominating the rally, the Italian surprised everyone by executing a splendid crosscourt forehand passing shot.

What followed? Six set points saved and a qualification into the final four where Britain's Cameron Norrie awaits him.

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.?
