Carlos Alcaraz is currently playing his round of 16 match at the US Open against Arthur Rinderknech.

The two players went blow for blow in the first set, but the world No. 2 had the final say in a tiebreak won 7-3.

Early in the match, Alcaraz produced one of the shots of the day by countering a backhand attack from Rinderknech with a reflexive behind-the-back shot. Surprised, the Frenchman had no time to react at the net (see video below).

A point that made the Spaniard and the packed New York crowd smile early in the day.

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.
