Stan Wawrinka's adventure at the 2024 French Open is already over. The Swiss put up a fierce fight, only to lose to Pavel Kotov after a huge battle lasting over 3 hours and a half (7-6, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6).

Trailing two sets to nil, Wawrinka, the oldest player in the tournament draw at 39, responded perfectly in the 3rd set (6-1). He even made the break in the 4th set, only to see the 25-year-old Russian turn the tables and win the match in a tie-break.

The Swiss, winner of the 2015 edition of the French Grand Slam, probably intends to return next year. The passion is still there, as he confided after his victory over Andy Murray in the 1st round. But as the years go by, his results, ranking and fitness will have to allow him to do so.

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.
