Ben Shelton has returned to competition after a shoulder injury sustained during the US Open. Pam Shriver, former world No. 3 in singles and No. 1 in doubles, commented on the American's physical problems.

According to her, his game might be too demanding for his body. On The Inside-In Tennis podcast, she stated: "All eyes are on Ben Shelton. If he continues to progress in 2026 and 2027, will he be in a good position to win Majors?

Probably, but will his body be able to withstand the demands of his left-handed serve? It's at 149 mph, it's so powerful and I just hope his arm can handle the pressure he puts on it.

Juan Martin del Potro is an example of modern tennis. I don't think anyone hit harder than Del Potro, but his body didn't hold up, so it's inevitable.

Players who have won major tournaments have accumulated chronic injuries that they cannot recover from.

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.
