During the Santiago Challenger (Chile), the match between Guido Ivan Justo and Genaro Alberto Olivieri ended in a retirement due to severe cramps.

At 5-5, 40-30 on Olivieri's serve in the third set, Justo, suffering from cramps, suddenly collapsed to the ground as he was preparing to play his shot. A frightening fall, followed by another a few seconds later as he tried to get back up.

Despite the assistance of the chair umpire and tournament officials, the world No. 413 attempted to continue the match.

But after writhing in pain during the first point of his service game, he was ultimately forced to retire.

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.
