"Today's press takes statements out of context that can hurt a person," Bautista Agut addresses his controversial remarks in Alcaraz's documentary

Just hours before facing Alcaraz on the center court at Queen's, Bautista Agut revisited his comments from his compatriot's Netflix documentary. The 37-year-old player had stated: "I don’t think he’ll win a Grand Slam by going to bed at 7 in the morning." Questioned by the press, the Spaniard sought to clarify his words:

"If there’s anyone who wants Carlos to win, it’s me. He and his team know that. I have an exceptional relationship with him, and fortunately, they trust me. They were able to see the positive side even when remarks were taken out of context. Unfortunately, today’s press takes statements out of context that can hurt a person—and that hurt me too."

After defeating Rune, Bautista Agut became the third-oldest player to reach the Queen’s semifinals. His match against Alcaraz will take place this Saturday, right after the clash between Lehecka and Draper on the Andy Murray Arena.

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.
