Annoyed, mocking, theatrical… Daniil Medvedev tried everything to vent his frustration during his defeat to Taylor Fritz in 2024. A surreal episode that remains etched in the memory in Turin.

Last year, Daniil Medvedev had a difficult ATP Finals, eliminated in the group stage after two losses against Taylor Fritz and Jannik Sinner.

During his first match against Fritz, lost 6-4, 6-3, the Russian lost his cool and began to entertain the crowd, notably with an attempt to return a shot using the handle of his racket.

He also threw his racket into the air several times and expressed to the chair umpire his desire to quit the match.

An unusual sequence that will undoubtedly remain in the history of the Tour Finals.

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.
