Félix Auger-Aliassime has just put together an impressive Cincinnati–US Open run. A quarterfinalist in Ohio against Jannik Sinner, the Canadian, ranked 27th in the world before the US Open, reached the final four in New York.

During his run, he notably eliminated Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev, and Alex De Minaur in succession to reach the semifinals, where he fell once again to the world number one.

Two high-quality tournaments that will allow him to return to the ATP top 15 this Monday. In the meantime, the 25-year-old player, likely fatigued from the considerable efforts made in recent weeks, will ultimately not represent his country in the upcoming Davis Cup Group I (equivalent to the second division) tie.

Although he was initially selected by his captain Frank Dancevic for the match against Israel scheduled for September 12 and 13, the former world number 6 will ultimately not be present in Halifax.

Therefore, Gabriel Diallo, Liam Draxl, Alexis Galarneau, and Cleeve Harper will represent their nation in the coming days, pending the arrival of a potential replacement who will join the team, according to Tennis Up To Date.

Right. Israel is allowed to play. Russia isn't. Make it make sense.

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared. While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions. This extends all the way to the highest level, where professional players have spoken out, trying as best they can to help their nation.

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.
