During his last appearance at the Paris-Bercy Masters 1000 in 2018, Roger Federer once again delighted the Parisian crowd with his elegance and tennis genius.

One moment in particular stands out: that lightning-fast crosscourt backhand return that left Fabio Fognini with no answer in the third round (see video below).

After winning the match 6-4, 6-3, the Swiss continued his run to the semi-finals, where he was defeated after an epic duel against Novak Djokovic (7-6, 5-7, 7-6).

In 26 appearances at the Paris tournament, Federer has only lifted the trophy once, in 2011.

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.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
