Stan Wawrinka is not dead. At the age of 39, the Swiss still offers a very decent level of tennis and continues to say it loud and clear: he loves tennis and sees no reason to stop.

This Monday, he showed it again. Playing against Charles Broom (26, invited by the organizers), the former world No. 3 easily made it through the first round, winning after 1h49 of play (6-3, 7-5, 6-4).

Now approaching 40, Wawrinka is unwavering in his motivation: "I still love what I do, I love tennis, and as long as I have the opportunity to continue playing in the best tournaments in the world, I'll keep going.

Right now, I see no reason to retire, I feel a great passion for what I do and I want to keep working hard to see how far I can go."

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.
