Indeed, tennis never fails to surprise. Arthur Rinderknech and his cousin Valentin Vacherot will face each other in the final of the Shanghai Masters 1000.

The two men, who have had a fabulous run in China, will attempt to win the first major tournament of their careers this Sunday.

While no one expected such a matchup, both players were surprised but also moved to see such a scenario unfold. As evidenced by these images captured by cameras following the Frenchman's victory over Daniil Medvedev.

A video to watch below.

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.
