A winning volley from behind the head? It seems improbable, but Gilles Simon did it during the Antwerp tournament in 2019.

In his first-round match against local player Steve Darcis, the Frenchman won a crazy rally, pulling off an unorthodox volley after his opponent's tweener.

A shot that made Darcis smile, clearly frustrated by the success rate of the former world No. 6.

Simon ended up winning that day with a commanding score: 6-1, 6-2.

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.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
