Jack Draper was stopped just short of the Queen's final this Saturday, defeated by a valiant Jiri Lehecka in three sets (6-4, 4-6, 7-5).

The world No. 6 will have to wait longer to follow in Andy Murray's footsteps as the last British player to win the event in 2016. According to Pat Cash, a BBC analyst, this semifinal setback may actually be good news for Draper ahead of Wimbledon:

"The worst thing that could have happened to him was winning this tournament. Everyone would have been talking about him and imagining him winning Wimbledon. There's less pressure on his shoulders now.

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.
