Taylor Fritz, who faced Djokovic in the night session of the US Open this Tuesday in the quarterfinals, took to the court with his bandana on backwards.

Whether a sign of stress or a simple oversight, the American hadn't realized it, while some fans speculated it might have been an intentional mistake.

On his X account, Fritz joked after the match: "Why didn't anyone tell me it was backwards."

In any case, it didn't bring him luck, as he lost in 4 sets and will lose his world No. 4 ranking after the US Open.

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.

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.
