We didn't see it coming. Learner Tien, the tournament's number 5 seed and 122nd player in the world, has just booked his place in the Masters Next Gen final.

At the age of 19, the young American continues his lightning progression. After finishing second in his group behind Joao Fonseca, the left-hander tamed compatriot Alex Michelsen in the semi-finals (2-4, 4-2, 1-4, 4-0, 4-1).

Up against a slightly more experienced opponent (20 years old) and, above all, a higher-ranked player (41st), Tien played a full match, showing himself to be as aggressive as he was effective.

In the final, he could well meet up with his group-stage tormentor, Joao Fonseca. Unless, of course, the Brazilian is surprised by Luca Van Assche.

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.
