What a battle! Jack Draper made it through to the last 16 of the Australian Open, defeating Aleksandar Vukic in a thrilling 4-hour match (6-4, 2-6, 5-7, 7-6, 7-6).

In a match that lived up to its promise, both men delivered some fine points.

In the first set, when trailing by a break, the Briton hit a forehand winner around the net, leaving Vukic on the spot.

A decisive moment in the first set, as Draper broke back before completely reversing the trend and winning the first set. A first set that was crucial for the rest of the match.

In the last 16, Draper will meet Alcaraz in a fascinating encounter. As a reminder, the Spaniard leads his future opponent two wins to one, but it was Alcaraz who won their last meeting, at the Queen's tournament in 2024.

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.
