The match between Belgium and Chile ended on a stormy note, with Zizou Bergs colliding with Cristian Garin during a change of side.

The Chilean, who was hit in the eye, was given a penalty after refusing to continue the match, which led to his team's defeat.

After this rare sequence for a tennis match, captain Nicolas Massu expressed his anger in a press conference:

"The doctor was not neutral. He was more concerned about the match scenario than Cristian's state of health.

We want to send a clear message to the ITF: this is a lack of respect. The doctor spoke to the chair umpire for 12 seconds, and he's supposed to be neutral.

We're going to talk to the president of the federation to see what we can do. We're going to appeal because we're affected. We didn't do anything wrong and we're out."

Massu also lashed out at the Belgian team for failing to apologize after the incident: "We received no apology. Nobody came to apologize or to ask about Cristian.

And it's been an hour and a half since it happened.

I'm very surprised, I shook hands with the chair umpire and the Belgian captain (Steve Darcis) and I received absolutely nothing, I'm hurt."

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...

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.
