While Jack Draper was having an excellent start to the season, an arm injury sustained at Wimbledon deprived him of the second half of the season. However, he had made his return at the US Open but withdrew after one match played.

In an interview given to the Independent, the Brit reveals the details of his injury.

"Actually, I think the scan I had gave me false hope, that there might have been a misinterpretation. I don't regret playing the US Open, because I am an athlete, I want to achieve great things.

I was in great shape before Wimbledon, in terms of my ranking and my game, and I wanted to continue that momentum. It's just a shame that I couldn't continue like that.

Davis Cup: between reforms, criticism and national culture
Davis Cup: between reforms, criticism and national culture

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.

Exhausted but omnipresent stars, ever-longer tournaments and exhibitions that have become a business in their own right: tennis is revealing its deepest contradictions, torn between spectacle and physical survival.

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...

I love tennis

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.
