Last year, Daniil Medvedev was eliminated in the quarterfinals in Shanghai, defeated by the eventual champion Jannik Sinner. Throughout the tournament, the Russian had expressed his frustration with the quality of the balls.

This was evident in the penalty point he received during his third-round match against Matteo Arnaldi. Frustrated, Medvedev pretended to spit on a ball before wiping it on his buttocks. An inappropriate gesture that provoked the chair umpire's exasperation (see video below).

And when it came time to sign the camera after his victory, the 2021 US Open winner continued to express his dissatisfaction by writing: "Nice balls."

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.
