As a guest on the Nothing Major podcast, Stan Wawrinka discussed the comparisons that are regularly made with Andy Murray.

With three Grand Slams won during their careers, the two players have regularly been compared or put on the same level of tennis history, despite their palmares being significantly different, as Wawrinka described:

"I'm embarrassed when people talk about the 'Big 5' or things like that, or put me next to Andy just because he's won three Grand Slams and I've got three too.

But he's got 45 Masters 1000s and has been in the Top 10 for 20 years, and the same goes for the Top 5 (smile).

I'm extremely far from what the Big 3 have achieved and I think it's a lack of respect for them and especially for Andy, because that's the conversation that came up most often."

I always say the same about the comparison of Stan and Murray. It's not even serious. Well and humble said by Stan.

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

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.
