Andy Murray has said farewell to us, or at least to professional tennis.

After many years of loyal service to the ATP, the Scot officially retired on Thursday. Beaten in the quarter-finals of the men's doubles, which he played alongside Dans Evans, Murray took his leave.

Since then, and even before that, tributes have been pouring in from some of the greatest players on the circuit, both retired and still active.

This Friday, we learn that a new honor will be reserved for him, and this time it doesn't come from one of his former comrades. The British Tennis Federation has decided to show its gratitude to the former world number 1 by renaming the Queen's Centre Court in his name.

Considered the second most prestigious grass court tournament of the season, London's ATP 500 will henceforth call its centre court "The Andy Murray Arena".

A superb honor for a player who has taken English tennis to the highest levels. A fitting way to say "thank you Andy".

From controversial reform to fiery statements, the Davis Cup continues to divide. Between nostalgia for the old formats and unwavering love for the jersey, players share their truths about a competition that, despite everything, still makes hearts race.

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.
