Stefanos Tsitsipas needed nerves of steel to secure his place in the Barcelona semi-finals. Facing a fiery Facundo Diaz Acosta, the recent Monte-Carlo winner had to battle for 2.5 hours, saving 2 match points, to win in 3 sets (4-6, 6-3, 7-6).

The scenario was indecisive right to the end. Just like the tie-break of the 3rd set, in which Diaz Acosta led 5 points to 2 before seeing the Greek reverse the trend, save a 2nd match point (he saved the 1st on his serve just before the tie-break), then finally win 10 points to 8 on his 3rd match point.

Tsitsipas collapsed on the clay after his victory, as if he'd just won the tournament. But the road to the title is still long, and he will face Arthur Fils or Dusan Lajovic in the semi-finals on Saturday.

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.
