Grand Slam finals are always tense moments for the players on court.

However, few players have lost after leading two sets to nil.

According to the X Game, Set and Maths account, since the beginning of the Open era, only eight finals have seen a player win when trailing two sets to nil.

These were Bjorn Borg against Manuel Orantes, Lendl against McEnroe, Agassi against Medvedev, Gaudio against Coria, Thiem against Zverev, Djokovic against Tsitsipas, Nadal against Medvedev and Sinner against Medvedev.

Currently two sets to nil in Melbourne, can Alexander Zverev become the ninth?

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.

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.
