In an interview with ESPN, former champion John McEnroe discussed the case of world number two, Carlos Alcaraz. Effusive, he explained that the Spaniard was the most gifted young player he had ever seen on the tour.

"If both play at their best level, then Alcaraz is better than Sinner. This Alcaraz, at 21-22 years old, is the most talented young player I have ever seen on a tennis court.

Alcaraz is the most talented kid I have ever seen. More than Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic, for whom I have a lot of respect. I idolized Rod Laver, I adored Sampras. But the Spaniard has the complete game."

Currently at the US Open, Alcaraz has won his first two rounds without a hitch. For a spot in the round of 16, he will face the Italian Darderi (34th).

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.

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.

Gonna be difficult with only 2 pointers to choose from.
