Gaël Monfils and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard faced off in the first round of the Australian Open.

Monfils won 7-6, 6-3, 6-7, 6-7, 6-4, in a very close match. And as usual with Monfils, we were treated to some fine points.

One exchange in particular delighted the crowd in the tie-break of the fourth set, when Mpetshi Perricard made a reflex lob between the legs from the front.

Monfils countered with another shot between the defensive legs, but unfortunately for him, it wasn't enough to win the point.

Monfils will face Daniel Altmaier in the second round of the Australian Open.

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.
