Without expectations and without pressure, you play better," says Kuznetsova about Medvedev's title in Almaty

Daniil Medvedev won the Almaty tournament this Sunday against Corentin Moutet. The Russian hadn't won a title since May 2023 in Rome.

On her social media, Svetlana Kuznetsova shared her thoughts on this victory: "It's wonderful! Daniil really needed this win. And the most interesting thing is that he himself said before the tournament that he wasn't expecting anything special from himself. He was tired, he had taken a flight, he was feeling sick... Mentally, he wasn't at his best.

But, as often happens, when you drop your expectations and don't put pressure on yourself, you play better. The results were better in recent weeks, and now... the title! I'm delighted for him. Good luck for what comes next!

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.
