Iga Swiatek got back on track in the wake of her surprise semi-final defeat at the Olympic Games. The world No.1 clearly dominated the final for 3rd place against Anna Karolina Schmiedlova, winning in 59 minutes and two sets (6-2, 6-1).

Having failed to win the gold she had been promised, the Pole consoled herself with bronze. It was a disappointment for the Slovak who, despite her magnificent performance on the clay courts of Roland-Garros, left the French capital empty-handed.

This Saturday's final will pit Zheng Qinwen of China, who defeated Swiatek, against Donna Vekic of Croatia.

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.
